Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Bi Directional Adapter Cable
The Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Bi Directional Cable enables you to connect USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 / 4 enabled devices that support "VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C" ("Alt Mode") to external displays with DisplayPort (DP).
6 foot display cable supports resolutions up to 3840x2160@60Hz (4K) on DisplayPort displays.
Alt Mode adapters like this USB-C to DisplayPort cable are a convenient option for adding an additional display output 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 performance of a native display.
Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient.
