Vertiv USBCKVMSHNP Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv USBCKVMSHNP is a single-head adapter designed to convert a USB-C signal to an HDMI output. This device is critical for integrating modern laptops and workstations equipped with USB-C ports into environments that still rely on HDMI displays or projectors. It ensures seamless video output for presentations, monitoring, and general workstation use, specifically addressing the need for display connectivity in IT infrastructure and AV deployments where USB-C is the primary output but HDMI is the required input. The USBCKVMSHNP model facilitates a direct, reliable video link.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any host device featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output. This includes a wide range of modern laptops, ultrabooks, and workstations from manufacturers such as Dell (Latitude, XPS), HP (Spectre, Envy), Lenovo (ThinkPad), Apple (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air), and others. It is designed to output a standard HDMI signal, making it compatible with virtually any monitor, projector, or display with an HDMI input port.

Installation Notes

No external power source is required for the USBCKVMSHNP adapter, as it draws power directly from the USB-C port of the host device. Installation is plug-and-play; simply connect the USB-C end to the host device and an HDMI cable (sold separately) from the adapter to the display. Ensure the host device's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode for video transmission. Maximum supported resolution and refresh rate are dependent on the host device's capabilities and the connected display.
