Microconnect USB3.1CMDP1 USB graphics adapter 3840 x 2160 pixels Black

The MicroConnect USB3.1CMDP1 is a USB-C (male) to Mini DisplayPort (male) adapter with a 1.83 m cable that enables connection of a Type‑C or Thunderbolt 3 source to a Mini DisplayPort display. The adapter transmits DisplayPort video up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz and is compatible with hosts that support DP 1.2 Alt Mode; when used with a Thunderbolt 3 host it passes the DP signal over the TB3 connection. The product is lightweight (40 g) and finished in black.

Advantages

This adapter provides a single‑cable solution for sending high‑resolution video from a Type‑C or Thunderbolt 3 port to Mini DisplayPort monitors, supporting up to 4K@60Hz. Its 1.83 m cable length offers flexibility in device placement, and the compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry. The adapter follows DP1.2 Alt Mode requirements, ensuring broad compatibility with compliant hosts.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with USB‑C (DP Alt Mode) to Mini DisplayPort monitors
• Using Thunderbolt 3 hosts to drive Mini DisplayPort displays

How to use

Connect the USB‑C male end to a compatible Type‑C port on your laptop, tablet or Thunderbolt 3 device. Plug the Mini DisplayPort male end into the Mini DisplayPort input of the external monitor or display. Ensure the host device supports DP1.2 Alt Mode (or is a Thunderbolt 3 host) and select the external display in the operating system display settings. No driver is typically required for standard video output.

Recommendations

For reliable 4K@60Hz output, use a host port that explicitly supports DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode or a Thunderbolt 3 port. Avoid excessive cable bending near the connector ends and connect devices with the latest graphics drivers and firmware for best compatibility.
