Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 Adapter

The Boxwave Active DisplayPort to HDMI 2.1 Adapter (Greener) converts a DisplayPort 1.4 source to an HDMI 2.1 display. It supports resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz. The unidirectional male-to-female design requires a separate HDMI 2.1 cable. It targets PC builders connecting modern graphics cards to high-refresh monitors or TVs.

Upgrade from 21.6 Gbps to 48 Gbps bandwidth

This adapter raises the link bandwidth from 21.6 Gbps to 48 Gbps, enabling 8K 60 Hz and 4K 120 Hz without compression. The jump is worth it when your DisplayPort 1.4 source must drive an HDMI 2.1 display at high refresh rates for gaming or video. It does not suit users needing VRR, KVM, docking stations, hubs, PS5, Xbox or specific TV models such as LG C2.

Fits a DP 1.4 source to an HDMI 2.1 display

Connect the adapter directly to a DisplayPort 1.4 output on a desktop graphics card from AMD or NVIDIA. Use a separate HDMI 2.1 cable from the adapter to the monitor, projector or TV. The adapter passes 7.1, 5.1 or 2-channel audio and Dynamic HDR. It frees the HDMI port on the display for other sources while using the GPU DisplayPort output.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter need external power to fit a standard DisplayPort 1.4 output?

No external power is required; the active adapter draws what it needs from the DisplayPort 1.4 source connector.

Which end plugs into the graphics card and which end takes the HDMI 2.1 cable?

Connect the male DisplayPort 1.4 plug to the GPU and run an HDMI 2.1 cable from the female HDMI 2.1 port to the display.

Will the gold-plated contacts need cleaning or the adapter itself need replacement after heavy 8K 60 Hz use?

The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation; no scheduled cleaning or replacement is expected under normal 48 Gbps operation.
