Black Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable with gold-plated connectors

Amazon Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 1080p 6 Foot Black

SKU CH-ZDYF-Y85EF

Connects Mini DisplayPort computers to HDMI displays up to 1080p with gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding

  • Transmits audio and video to an HD display
  • Supports video resolutions up to 1080p
  • Gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding for reliable connectivity
  • Unidirectional passive cable for Mini DisplayPort to HDMI only
  • Compatible with MacBook Air 2010-2017 and MacBook Pro 2010-2015

What this cable does

This passive Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable carries both audio and video up to 1080p resolution. It is built for MacBook Air models from 2010 to 2017 and MacBook Pro models from 2010 to 2015 that have a native Mini DisplayPort output. The six-foot length gives enough reach for typical desk or meeting-room setups.

Installation and common issues

Simply connect the Mini DisplayPort end to the computer and the HDMI end to the display; no drivers or power adapter are required. Because the cable is unidirectional and passive, it will not work in reverse or with devices that only provide USB-C or Thunderbolt video output. Gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding help maintain a stable signal, but the cable cannot support resolutions above 1080p.

Who should buy this and who should not

This cable suits owners of compatible MacBook Air or MacBook Pro laptops who need a direct link to an HDMI monitor, TV or projector at 1080p. Buyers with newer laptops that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt ports will need a different adapter. Users who require 4K or higher resolutions should also look for an active cable or adapter rated for those modes.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering 1080p video and audio to my display?

Connect the Mini DisplayPort end to a compatible MacBook Air 2010-2017 or MacBook Pro 2010-2015, plug the HDMI end into your monitor or TV, then verify the external display shows the correct 1080p resolution and plays sound in your system display and audio settings.

What comes in the box and do I need any adapters for a MacBook with USB-C or Thunderbolt?

The box contains only the 6-foot Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable with gold-plated connectors. No adapters are included, and the cable will not work with newer MacBooks that have only USB-C or Thunderbolt ports.

Which MacBook models is this 6-foot cable compatible with?

This unidirectional passive cable supports Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) and works with MacBook Air 2010-2017 and MacBook Pro 2010-2015. It is not compatible with models that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt ports.
