Cable Matters 80Gbps Unidirectional USB C to DisplayPort 2.1 Adapter

Bought it to use my HP Reverb G2 Virtual Reality (VR) headset with my ASUS TUF GAMING F16 laptop, which did not have a display port (DP) for which to connect my headset. Tried two other, more affordable brains and neither worked. Finally paid more and it works great. The value is worth it to have it work right out of the box.

This one is working, unlike another one I have.

I used to carry "USB-C to Male DP" cables around in my bag, but the thing is.. There's almost always already a cable plugged into a display you run into, and mobility is a big reason to own such a device as this. If you have a desktop machine attached to a monitor that doesn't move, just get a cable, not this, etc. In practice, I've found that being able to break this out and plug into an existing DisplayPort cable that is already known to work with the display in question to be an improvement in the workflow. Even better, this one supports DisplayPort 2.1 so your fancy 240Hz+ monitor is supported.

Got this for my LG UG monitor, it works amazingly, super easy to just put in my laptop and then connecting the DP cord they gave me to it. The speeds of translating to my monitor are fast and it looks so good!

To start, it's a bit disingenuous of me to review thee adapter without a way to confirm that it lives up to its technical specifications. I certainly do not have an 8k, 10 bit color depth screen lying around. I'd be impressed if my laptop graphics card if it even supported that display mode. That being said, I will offer opinions on what I can fairly. First, yes, it works, it works quite well. It seamlessly connected a modern P14s Thinkpad running windows 11 to a 30 inch LG 4K monitor. If it couldn't do that, would be shocked, but it did, and did so quickly and without any issues. Here are my complaints: 1. The metal (aluminum I suspect) housing rattles like an maraca. The actual female DP plug fits very loosely inside the housing. For a 35 dollar device, I would expect a matching build quality. It does feel like you're paying just for first adopter privileges and nothing else. 2. The description of the cable says it is in a woven sheath. This is incorrect, it's in a standard TPE sheath with small strain protectors at either end. The pictures do show it with a TPE sheath, and I expect the description was taken from an earlier model, which did have a braided sheath. It's fine, the cable is fine, again, I just expected a bit more.

I got this adapter to use with my RX 7900 XTX's (Reference Version) USB-C port. It did not work (Yes I tried every troubleshooting method). The adapter itself works fine with my ROG Ally and everything else I tried it on, just wouldn’t work with the one thing I purchased for (My RX 7900 XTX). I really wish they would have stated in the description what it won’t work with, but I guess that’s asking too much.

As described: 240 hz with Alienware 27” QHD, 300 hz with Lenovo Legion 27” QHD.

Connects my Mac to a 45" 5K OLEK at 165Hz refresh rate (which is the monitor's max for that resolution and config)

Funkar fint. DP-kontakten snäpper fast och sitter bra. Själva USB-C-kontakten kan dock glappa om kontakten sträcks, så var försiktig.

Drives a DUHD (7680x2160) monitor easily. Seems to support up to 240Hz at DUHD.

This product worked without any problems for 4K @ 120Hz. The adapter was used as follows: I have a Dell 16 Premium and Dell G3223Q monitor which supports 120Hz @ 4K. Based on the specs of the Dell Laptop is supports DP2.1 as output of the Thunderbolt 4. I used the CableMatters USB-C (TB4) to DP2.1 and connected it to the monitor and I was able to get 4K @ 120Hz. Actual there was the option of 143.3 Hz as well. I have not used it extensively so that part is still to be seen.

Works exactly as expected
