ACT AC7536 video cable adapter 0.24 m HDMI + USB DisplayPort Black

The ACT AC7536 HDMI to DisplayPort adapter connects a device with an HDMI output to a monitor with a DisplayPort input. It supports up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 60 Hz and includes an attached USB-A power cable for additional power when the HDMI port cannot supply enough current. The adapter supports EDID and hot-plug detection for straightforward plug-and-play operation.

Advantages

The adapter provides active signal conversion from HDMI to DisplayPort in a compact aluminium housing, enabling 4K@60Hz video output from HDMI sources to DP displays. Built-in EDID handling ensures the correct resolution and display settings are negotiated, and hot-plug detection lets you connect or disconnect devices while powered on. The optional USB-A power connection increases compatibility with sources that provide limited HDMI power.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or media players with HDMI output to DisplayPort monitors
• Extending or mirroring a desktop to a DisplayPort screen
• Use cases requiring up to 4K@60Hz resolution

When it may not be suitable

This adapter converts HDMI output to DisplayPort input only and cannot be used in the reverse direction (DisplayPort source to HDMI display). It is intended for video (and EDID) conversion; it does not add features such as USB data transfer or audio extraction beyond what the connected devices support.

Key specifications

• Maximum resolution: 3840 x 2160 (4K) @ 60 Hz
• HDMI version: 2.0
• DisplayPort version: 1.2
• Connectors: HDMI Male + USB-A power (attached) to DisplayPort Female
• Cable length: 0.24 m
• Housing: aluminium, colour: black

How to use

Connect the HDMI + USB-A end to your source device: plug the HDMI into the source's HDMI output and, if the source’s HDMI port lacks sufficient power, plug the USB-A into a USB port or a USB power adapter. Then connect the DisplayPort end to the monitor's DisplayPort input. Power on the devices; the adapter will negotiate EDID and establish the display signal. If needed, adjust resolution and scaling in the source device's display settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires an HDMI source; not bidirectional — cannot convert DisplayPort source to HDMI display
• Some devices may need the included USB-A power for stable 4K@60Hz output
• Ensure the monitor supports DisplayPort 1.2 and the desired 4K@60Hz mode

Recommendations

For reliable 4K@60Hz performance, use a powered USB port for the adapter when connecting from laptops or devices that provide limited HDMI power. If you experience resolution or detection issues, reconnect the cables with devices powered on and check the source’s display settings to select the proper output resolution.
