USB 3.1 Type-C Adapter Connects an HDMI or VGA Monitor to Your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 Device This USB 3.1 Type-C adapter helps you transmit digital audio and 4K video from your tablet, laptop, Chromebook, MacBook, smartphone or PC to an HDMI-enabled television, monitor or projector. It’s an ideal tool for giving video presentations in conference rooms and classrooms, editing multiple documents on a larger screen, or streaming video for digital signage in crystal-clear 4K. Supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Transmitting Audio/Video Signals By connecting the built-in USB-C cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers. Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K HDMI Video and Digital Audio To send digital audio and Ultra High Definition video to a 4K-ready HDMI television, projector or monitor, connect the HDMI port to the display using an HDMI cable (such as Tripp Lite’s P568-Series, sold separately). The USB to HDMI 4K adapter supports video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 30 Hz with 7.1-channel surround sound. It’s backward compatible with 1080p displays, allowing you to use it with older equipment. The VGA port (Tripp Lite P502-Series VGA cables sold separately) supports high-definition resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, including 1080p, at 60 Hz. USB Port Connects Peripherals and Transfers Data at Fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 Speeds The USB-A 3.0 port accepts USB peripherals, such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard or printer. It transfers data at speeds up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. It is backward compatible with previous USB generations, so you can continue using older peripherals while getting high-speed performance from new devices. Accesses a Wired Gigabit Ethernet Network The RJ45 port offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when Wi-Fi is unavailable or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. Connect using a UTP cable (sold separately), and enjoy true 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for fast data transfers. Built-In USB-C Cable Connects in Either Direction Connect the reversible USB-C plug to your source device’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. The fumble-free USB-C plug connects in either direction to ensure fast, easy connection every time. Ready to Use Right Out of the Package The plug-and-play USB Type-C adapter is specifically designed for the MacBook, Google Chromebook Pixel and other laptops, tablets and devices equipped with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It requires no software, drivers or external power.
