10-Foot Active USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 Adapter Cable with 8K 60Hz and 4K 144Hz HDR10 Output for USB4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 Laptops
The StarTech 142-USBC-DP-8K-10F is a USB-C to DisplayPort cable that connects a DP Alt Mode-enabled USB-C source to a DisplayPort monitor at resolutions up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz over a 10-foot (3-meter) run. The active converter cable is DisplayPort 1.4 compliant with HDR10, HBR3, and Display Stream Compression (DSC) support, delivering 32.4 Gbps of bandwidth for high-refresh gaming monitors, professional color-critical displays, and multi-monitor workstation setups.
The integrated adapter design combines the converter and cable into a single unit, eliminating the extra connection point and potential signal loss of a separate dongle-plus-cable setup. A latching DisplayPort connector locks securely into the monitor to prevent accidental disconnection, and aluminum connector shells provide EMI shielding for clean signal delivery over the full 10-foot length. Compatible with USB-C DP Alt Mode, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 sources from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Apple (Apple M1/M2/M3 limited to 4K 60Hz).
Where the StarTech USB-C to DisplayPort Cable Fits
- Workstations connecting USB-C laptops to high-resolution DisplayPort monitors where the 10-foot active cable reaches from a docked laptop to a wall-mounted or desk-mounted 4K or 8K display without signal degradation, supporting HDR10 content creation and color-critical workflows
- Gaming setups running 4K 144Hz monitors from USB-C equipped PCs where DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3 and DSC delivers full-bandwidth high-refresh output from Intel 11th Gen and later processors or Nvidia RTX 3000/AMD RX 6000 and newer GPUs through a single cable
- Conference rooms and hot-desking environments with DisplayPort displays where the universal USB-C input works with any DP Alt Mode laptop regardless of brand or OS, requiring no drivers or software while the latching connector prevents accidental disconnection during presentations
What the StarTech USB-C to DisplayPort Cable Delivers
- 8K 60Hz and 4K 144Hz Output: DisplayPort 1.4 compliant active cable delivers 32.4 Gbps bandwidth supporting 8K (7680x4320) at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz with HDR10, HBR3, and Display Stream Compression for maximum visual quality.
- 10-Foot Active Cable Design: Integrated adapter-and-cable construction eliminates signal loss from extra connection points, delivering reliable high-bandwidth video over the full 3-meter length with no external power required.
- Universal USB-C Compatibility: Works with USB-C DP Alt Mode, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 sources from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Apple with no drivers or software needed on any operating system.
- Latching DisplayPort Connector: The locking DP connector prevents accidental disconnection from the monitor, maintaining the video connection in environments where cables may be bumped or pulled.
- Aluminum Shell EMI Shielding: Aluminum connector housings shield against electromagnetic interference for clean signal delivery, and the durable TPE jacket protects the cable during daily use. Backed by a 3-year warranty.
How Do I Know If My USB-C Supports DisplayPort?
A USB-C port supports DisplayPort output if it carries DP Alt Mode, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4. Look for a DisplayPort icon (a D with a P inside) or Thunderbolt icon (lightning bolt) next to the USB-C port on your laptop. Intel 11th Gen and later processors with USB-C output, Nvidia RTX 3000/AMD RX 6000 and newer GPUs, and all Thunderbolt 3/4 ports support DP Alt Mode. Apple M1, M2, and M3 MacBooks support DisplayPort over USB-C at up to 4K 60Hz. If your laptop has USB-C but no DP Alt Mode support (common on older USB 3.0-only ports), this cable will not produce a video signal.
