StarTech 136B-USBC-HDMI213M FAQ
What is the maximum resolution of the 136B-USBC-HDMI213M?
It supports up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz when the source GPU, USB-C video output and HDMI display support the required DP 1.4, DSC and HDMI 2.1 capabilities.
What must the USB-C port support?
The host USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode. A USB-C connector by itself does not guarantee video output.
Does it work with USB4 and Thunderbolt?
Yes. It works with USB4, Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports that provide DisplayPort Alt Mode video.
Does the cable support HDR and protected content?
Yes. It supports HDR10 plus HDCP 1.x, 2.2 and 2.3 on compatible sources, content and displays.
Does it carry audio?
Yes. It supports HDMI 7.1-channel audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X where the connected system supports them.
Does it require drivers or external power?
No drivers or software are required. The active cable is powered through the connected interface, but it does not pass USB Power Delivery to the laptop.
Will it provide 8K 60Hz from an Apple silicon Mac?
No. The listed Apple M1/M2 limitation is up to 4K 60Hz over USB-C DP Alt Mode, so these systems do not reach 8K 60Hz with this cable.
What warranty covers the 136B-USBC-HDMI213M?
This Australian-version product is covered by a three-year official StarTech.com manufacturer warranty in Australia. Keep the DeviceDeal invoice as proof of purchase; claims remain subject to StarTech.com terms and assessment.
