Microconnect MC-USBCDP5 video cable adapter 5 m USB Type-C DisplayPort Black

The MicroConnect MC-USBCDP5 is a 5 m USB-C to DisplayPort video adapter cable that enables connection of a USB Type-C source — for example a notebook or Mac — to a monitor, TV or projector with a DisplayPort input. The cable transmits video and receives power from the USB-C port, so no external power supply is required. It supports high-resolution output up to 8K @ 30 Hz, 4K @ 144 Hz and 2K @ 165 Hz and is RoHS compliant. The cable has a 4.5 mm diameter and weighs 40 g, offering a practical, lightweight solution for video transmission.

Advantages

The adapter cable provides a single-cable solution for video and power via USB-C, supports multiple high-resolution modes including 8K, 4K and 2K refresh rates suitable for demanding displays, and is lightweight and flexible for easy routing. It is compatible with macOS (mirroring and extended desktop) and Windows (duplicate and extended desktop) display modes and meets RoHS environmental standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C laptops or devices to DisplayPort monitors
• Home cinema setups and high-resolution video playback
• Gaming with high refresh-rate DisplayPort monitors

How to use

Connect the USB Type-C plug to a compatible device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and plug the DisplayPort connector into the target monitor, TV or projector. The cable draws power from the USB-C port so no external adapter is required. On macOS devices choose mirroring or extended desktop in display settings; on Windows choose duplicate or extend display mode in Display Settings. Ensure the display input is set to DisplayPort.

Recommendations

Use with devices that explicitly support USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and ensure secure insertion to maintain stable high-resolution output. For optimal performance at higher refresh rates, use compatible monitors and updated graphics drivers.
