What this adapter does

This CableCreation adapter connects a USB-C source to either an HDMI or a VGA display. It supports 4K resolution at 30 Hz through HDMI and 1080p at 60 Hz through VGA. The device works with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, XPS, Surface Book, Chromebook Pixel and selected Galaxy phones. Only one video output is active at a time.

Sustained use behaviour

The adapter transmits video signals without requiring extra drivers or software. HDMI output reaches 4K at 30 Hz with 9 Gbps bandwidth. VGA output delivers 1080p at 60 Hz. If both ports are connected simultaneously, the HDMI port takes priority and the VGA port receives no signal. The unit operates plug-and-play on macOS 10.11 through 10.14 and Windows 10.

Installation notes

Plug the USB-C end into the host device and connect either an HDMI or a VGA cable to the display. No driver installation is needed on supported operating systems. A common issue is connecting both outputs at once; only the HDMI port will work in that situation. Ensure the host device supports video output over USB-C, as not all USB-C ports provide this function.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter get warm or draw noticeable power when driving a 4K 30 Hz display all day?

The adapter is a passive converter with no active cooling; it draws minimal bus power and runs cool during extended 4K 30 Hz HDMI use.

Must my laptop's USB-C port support video output for this adapter to work?

Yes, the host USB-C port must provide DisplayPort Alt Mode video; pure data or charging-only ports will not drive the HDMI or VGA outputs.

Will the HDMI port work at 4K 30 Hz on a 2017 iMac while the VGA port stays connected to an older projector?

Only one output is active at a time; with both connected the adapter defaults to HDMI at 4K 30 Hz and the VGA signal is disabled.
