Compatibility Considerations
This Vention cable requires your USB-C device to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. Most modern laptops and tablets with USB-C include this capability, but some budget devices and older smartphones only support USB-C for charging and data transfer. Verify your device specifications before purchase to ensure video output functionality.
The cable includes an active conversion chipset that processes DisplayPort signals from USB-C and converts them to HDMI format. This means the cable draws minimal power from your source device during operation. Additionally, the cable transmits audio alongside video, allowing connection to HDMI displays with integrated speakers or external sound systems.
For MacBook Pro and MacBook Air users, the Vention cable works seamlessly with both Intel and Apple Silicon models supporting Thunderbolt 3/4 ports. Windows laptop users with USB-C ports should confirm DisplayPort Alt Mode support in their device documentation. The 1-meter length suits desk setups optimally, though users requiring greater distance should consider the signal quality limitations beyond 2 meters for 4K content.
