Description

StarTech CDP2MDP USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter

Overview

The StarTech CDP2MDP adapter bridges the gap between modern USB-C enabled devices and legacy Mini DisplayPort monitors. This passive adapter is essential for deploying systems where a USB-C source needs to output to a Mini DisplayPort display, supporting high resolutions and multi-channel audio. It's ideal for connecting laptops, docking stations, or workstations to external displays in conference rooms, digital signage setups, or extended desktop configurations.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any USB-C device supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), including most modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It connects to any display or projector equipped with a Mini DisplayPort input. The adapter supports DisplayPort 1.2 video revision, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of monitors and graphics cards.

Installation Notes

The CDP2MDP is a passive adapter, meaning it relies on the USB-C source device to output a DisplayPort signal. Ensure your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. The adapter supports a maximum cable distance of 6.6 ft (2 m) for reliable signal transmission. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
