What to know before ordering

Host and display requirements

For USB-C to DP, the host must support DP Alt Mode. For DP to USB-C, the USB-C display must have its own power supply.

Check direction-specific power

When using a DisplayPort host with a USB-C display, the display must have its own power supply. Portable USB-C displays that rely on bus power are not supported.

Bidirectional power limitation

A DisplayPort host does not power a USB-C monitor through this cable. Use a USB-C display with its own power supply.
