Black Box Corporation VAUSBC31HDMI4K016 USB-C to HDMI Active Adapter Cable 16ft

SKU CH-VQPG-B5W54 MPN VAUSBC31HDMI4K016

Connects a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 device to an HDMI display at up to 4K60 resolution over 16 ft without drivers

  • 4K60 video for sharp Ultra HD clarity
  • 16 ft active cable reaches distant displays
  • DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode needs no drivers
  • Thunderbolt 3 port carries audio and video
  • HDCP 2.2 passes protected content to monitors

Universal USB-C Video Link

This 16ft active adapter cable connects a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port directly to an HDMI display without any driver installation. It targets laptop, tablet and phone users who need a single-cable solution for meetings, trade shows or home streaming.

Plug-and-Play Construction

The cable uses DisplayPort 1.2 Alternate Mode to transmit audio and video through a fixed HDMI connector, eliminating separate dongles and loose couplers. Its 16ft length lets you position screens across a desk or conference table while the active circuitry maintains signal integrity over the full run.

Check Port Capability First

Verify that your source device supports video output over its USB-C port, because data-only ports will not drive the adapter. Ensure the display accepts 4K at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDCP 2.2 for protected content, otherwise the maximum resolution may be limited.

Questions about this item

What DisplayPort Alternate Mode version does the USB-C connector use, and what refresh rate does it cap at 4K?

It uses DisplayPort 1.2 Alternate Mode and caps 4K resolution at 60 Hz.

What physical connectors must the source and display provide for this 16 ft cable to work?

The source needs a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port that supports video output, and the display needs a standard HDMI input.

How is the adapter cable installed, and what common step causes no signal?

Plug the USB-C end into a video-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port and the HDMI end into the display; no driver install is needed, but using a USB-C port that lacks video alternate mode will give no signal.
