Portable 4K Adapter for USB-C Devices

The StarTech CDP2MDPEC is a 12-inch USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter that adds a 4K 60Hz video output to laptops, Chromebooks or the 2018 iPad Pro. It works with USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3 ports that pass a native Mini DisplayPort signal.

Sustained 4K 60Hz Output Stability

The adapter maintains a 3840 x 2160 resolution at 60Hz during extended sessions without dropping frames or reducing refresh rate. Backward compatibility with 1080p displays ensures a stable signal when connected to lower-resolution monitors.

Fanless Operation with Minimal Power Draw

The compact, lightweight design has no moving parts and draws power directly from the host USB-C port. It runs silently and adds negligible thermal load to the source device during normal desktop or video playback use.

Questions about this item

Does the CDP2MDPEC adapter generate heat or draw extra power when driving a 4K 60Hz display all day?

The adapter is passive and draws only the small amount of power the USB-C port supplies for the DisplayPort signal; it has no fan or active circuitry, so it stays cool during extended use.

Which ports or standards must my laptop already have for this adapter to function?

Your device needs a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode — USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3 — so the mDP video signal can pass through.

Will the CDP2MDPEC work with my older 1080p monitor that only has a Mini DisplayPort input?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible and will output 1080p at 60Hz to that display without any extra setup.
