USB-C to HDMI Cables


What are USB-C to HDMI Cables?

USB-C to HDMI cables are used to connect devices with a USB-C port, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet, to an HDMI-equipped display, like a TV, monitor, or projector. These cables allow you to transmit high-definition video and audio from your device to a larger screen, making them perfect for presentations, streaming, or gaming. USB-C to HDMI cables are popular due to their ability to support high resolutions and fast data transfer. It's important to ensure that your device supports video output through USB-C (often marked as DisplayPort Alternate Mode) for the cable to work correctly.

FAQ

What is a USB-C to HDMI cable used for?

A USB-C to HDMI cable is used to connect devices with a USB-C port (like laptops, smartphones, or tablets) to an HDMI-equipped display (such as a TV, monitor, or projector). It allows you to transfer high-definition video and audio from your device to the larger screen.

Can I use a USB-C to HDMI cable to mirror or extend my display?

Yes, a USB-C to HDMI cable can be used to either mirror your device’s display on a larger screen or extend your desktop to a second display, depending on your device’s settings and capabilities.

Do I need to install drivers for the USB-C to HDMI cable to work?

In most cases, no drivers are needed. However, your device must support video output over USB-C (often referred to as DisplayPort Alternate Mode). If drivers are needed, they should be automatically installed by your device when the cable is connected.

Will the cable charge my device while in use?

Typically, no. A USB-C to HDMI cable is designed solely for video and audio output. If you need charging, you'll need a separate USB-C charger or use a USB-C hub with charging and HDMI support.
