HDMI to USB-C Video Adapter Cable
This 2-in-1 cable converts an HDMI video source into a USB-C display signal while supplying power through a separate USB 2.0 connector. It targets users who need to drive a USB-C portable monitor from a laptop, game console or set-top box that only offers HDMI output. The integrated power feed prevents the voltage drop that can cause flicker during extended sessions. Gold-plated contacts and an aluminum shell maintain signal integrity over the full run.
Practical Limits of the HDMI-to-USB-C Link
The adapter handles 4K resolution at 60 Hz with HDR colour metadata, so motion stays smooth and colour depth remains intact for movies and games. Because the data path relies on the source’s HDMI output and the sink’s USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, bandwidth is capped at what those two endpoints negotiate. The USB 2.0 leg carries only power, not video data, so throughput cannot exceed the HDMI source capability. Longer cable runs may introduce attenuation that the built-in equalisation must compensate for.
Power Delivery Determines Compatibility
The single specification that decides whether this cable works for a given setup is the USB 2.0 power input: the host monitor must accept 5 V bus power over its USB-C port to operate the conversion circuitry. If the display requires a higher voltage or a dedicated power brick, the adapter cannot supply it and the link will fail. Buyers who need to power a monitor that draws more than the USB 2.0 limit should look for an active converter with an external supply.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1M or 2M cable for my setup?
Pick the 1M length when the source and monitor sit close together; choose the 2M version if you need extra reach across a desk or presentation table.
What does 4K@60Hz HDR actually deliver on my USB-C monitor?
It sends a 4K picture at 60 frames per second with HDR colour depth, so games and video play smoothly with richer contrast and no visible lag.
How does the USB 2.0 power cable affect the connection?
The separate USB 2.0 power lead supplies the extra current the converter needs, preventing signal drop-outs during long sessions.
