Purpose and audience
The XAOSUN Gold USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter connects full-featured USB-C devices that support video output to DisplayPort monitors. It is intended for users with Thunderbolt 4, USB4 or USB 3.2 20Gbps hosts who need 8K at 60Hz or 4K at up to 240Hz on a DP display. The adapter carries no charging or data function and works only in the USB-C to DisplayPort direction.
Setup checklist
Verify that the host USB-C port explicitly supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output; standard data-only ports will not work. Use a USB-C 3.2 cable rated at 20Gbps or higher, and keep Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 cables at 2 metres or less when running 4K at 120Hz or above. The adapter is not compatible with desktop PC USB-C ports lacking video signals nor with Thunderbolt inputs on monitors.
Thermals noise and power
The passive gold-plated unit draws negligible power from the host and has no fan, so it adds no audible noise to the system. Normal operation stays cool to the touch because the adapter only converts the incoming video stream without active processing. Ensure the host can sustain the required bandwidth, as the adapter itself introduces no thermal constraint.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need a separate cable?
The package includes one gold-plated USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter. You must supply a USB-C 3.2 cable rated for 20 Gbps or higher, or a Thunderbolt 4/USB4 cable no longer than 2 metres.
Which resolution and refresh-rate combination should I pick for my monitor?
The adapter supports up to 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz, plus 4K 165 Hz, 4K 144 Hz, 4K 60 Hz, 2K 240 Hz and 2K 144 Hz. Choose the highest mode your monitor and host device both support.
What does the 8K 60 Hz headline figure mean once the adapter is connected?
It means the adapter can pass an 8K 60 Hz DisplayPort signal from a host whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, provided you use a 20 Gbps or faster USB-C cable. No charging or data transfer is possible.
