Tripp Lite P580-006 USB-C to HDMI Cable

Overview

The Tripp Lite P580-006 is a 6-foot USB-C to HDMI cable designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-C enabled devices and legacy HDMI displays. This cable is essential for users who need to output video from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to a monitor, projector, or TV without requiring separate adapters. Its plug-and-play functionality simplifies setup in conference rooms, classrooms, or home office environments where direct display connection is preferred.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any host device featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output. This includes most modern laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple MacBook, and Microsoft Surface, as well as many Android smartphones and tablets. The output is standard HDMI, making it compatible with virtually all monitors, projectors, and televisions equipped with an HDMI input.

Installation Notes

Ensure the USB-C port on your source device supports video output (DP Alt Mode). The cable supports HDMI 2.0 specifications, enabling resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate. For optimal performance at 4K@60Hz, ensure both the source device and the display also support these specifications. The cable is passive and does not require external power.
