Product Description
Plugable USB-C to HDMI 2.0 Adapter
The Plugable USBC-HDMI adapter enables an HDMI 2.0 output at resolutions up to 3840×2160@60Hz (4K/UHD) from systems which support "DisplayPort Alternate Mode" (Alt Mode) via USB-C.
Uncompromising Performance
Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.
Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.
Compatible Systems
Plug and Play installation on any Windows, Mac, or Linux host which supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) video output functionality.
Adapter has been fully tested for functionality on the 2018 iPad Pro (mirroring only), 2018 MacBook Air, 2017 iMac/iMac Pro, 2017 & 2018 MacBook/MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 12" 2016 / 2017, Google Pixelbook, Chromebook Pixel 2015, Dell XPS 13 9360 / 9370 & XPS 15 9560 / 9570, Lenovo P50, and Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+.
Audio is supported on HDMI capable TVs and monitors with built-in speakers.
Please note: the 2016 and previous 12" Retina MacBook does not support 4K@60Hz output, it has a maximum output of 4K@30Hz. Supported resolutions and refresh rates of the adapter are entirely dependent on the host device and attached display specifications.
Incompatible Systems
Not compatible with Dell XPS 15 9570
Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alt Mode video output.
ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not support Alt Mode video output.
Most motherboards with dual USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports are limited to a single Alt Mode output; only one Alt Mode adapter supported per system.

HDMI 2.0, 4K TVs, and HDMI Cable Quality
When utilizing HDMI 2.0's highest resolution and refresh rate (3840x2160@60Hz), twice the data is being transmitted as the maximum allowed by the previous HDMI 1.4 specification. As a result, it is critical that an HDMI 2.0-compliant cable capable of providing the increased bandwidth be used for 4K@60 functionality. HDMI 1.4/1.3 cables will likely result in a blank screen, digitial noise/artifacting, or display drop-offs.
If using an HDMI 2.0 4K TV, it is strongly recommended to update the firmware/software of the TV for the best compatibility, performance, and stability.
