Tripp Lite U280-010-ST USB-C to HDMI Adapter

Overview

The Tripp Lite U280-010-ST is a compact adapter designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-C enabled devices and displays requiring an HDMI input. It allows you to output video from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a USB-C port to an external monitor, projector, or TV. This adapter is ideal for extending your workspace or delivering presentations in conference rooms where only HDMI displays are available. The U280-010-ST is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the USB-C port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any host device (laptops, tablets, smartphones) that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) over its USB-C port. This includes many models from Dell Latitude, HP Spectre, Lenovo ThinkPad, Apple MacBook Pro, and Google Pixelbook series. It outputs a digital HDMI signal and is compatible with displays and projectors featuring an HDMI input port. It supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate, providing smooth video playback and sharp image quality for demanding applications.

Installation Notes

No drivers or software installation are required; the adapter is plug-and-play. Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode for video output. For 4K@60Hz resolution, both the host device and the connected display must support HDMI 2.0 or higher. The adapter's maximum bandwidth is limited by the USB-C port's capabilities and the HDMI standard it adheres to.
