Vention HDMI-A Male to DP Male HD Cable 1.5M Black

Description Vention HDMI-A Male to DisplayPort Male HD Cable – 1.5M Black The Vention HDMI-A to DisplayPort Cable is a 1.5-metre active adapter cable that converts an HDMI output signal to a DisplayPort input. It’s designed for a specific but common scenario: connecting a device with an HDMI output — such as a games console, media player, Blu-ray player, or older laptop — to a monitor that only accepts DisplayPort input. This situation arises more often than expected, particularly as DisplayPort-only gaming monitors become increasingly common while source devices continue to ship with HDMI as their primary video output. At 1.5 metres, the cable offers enough reach for a typical desk setup without excess slack to manage. This is a directional cable and works in one direction only — HDMI source to DisplayPort display — which is an important detail to confirm before purchasing.   Technical Specifications Connector Types Source End: HDMI Type A (Male) — connects to HDMI output on source device Display End: DisplayPort (Male) — connects to DisplayPort input on monitor Direction: HDMI output → DisplayPort input only (not reversible) Cable & Build Length: 1.5M Color: Black Connector Finish: Gold-plated on both ends Cable Type: Active (with integrated signal conversion chip) Cable Construction: Braided or PVC jacket with strain relief at connectors Video Performance Maximum Resolution: 3840×2160 (4K UHD) at 30Hz Full HD Performance: 1920×1080 at 60Hz Signal Type: Digital (HDMI to DisplayPort conversion) HDR: Not supported Audio Audio Transmission: Supported — audio is carried alongside video through the HDMI signal and passed to the DisplayPort output Audio Formats: PCM stereo; multi-channel audio support depends on source device Compatibility Source Devices: Any device with an HDMI Type A output — laptops, desktops, games consoles, media players, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes Display Devices: Any monitor or screen with a DisplayPort input OS Support: Windows, macOS, Linux — no drivers required Not Compatible With: DisplayPort source to HDMI display (opposite direction); Mini HDMI or Micro HDMI sources without a separate adapter
