Tripp Lite USB C to DisplayPort Cable Adapter
Modern laptops drop dedicated video ports to save edge space. We built this adapter cable to bridge that gap, running high-definition video and multi-channel audio straight from your USB-C or Thunderbolt port into an existing DisplayPort screen. It handles the signal conversion in-line so your desk stays clear.

How this one is built
Reversible USB-C plug
The upstream connector seats whichever way you turn it. That saves you from fumbling behind a docked workstation or along the cramped edge of a thin notebook when you need an external display.
DisplayPort alternate mode
Video routes through the USB-C connection using native DisplayPort signals. The host hardware passes audio and video through directly, so you get clean output on the monitor without loading extra drivers or third-party software.
High dynamic range
The line carries rich color depth and sharp contrast alongside high refresh rates. Chroma subsampling support keeps sharp text legible across desktop monitors and maintains smooth motion during video playback.
Direct display link
One continuous cable runs from the computer to the monitor backpanel. Dropping the separate dongle removes a potential disconnect point between the workstation and the screen.
