Video cable adapter USB Type-C DisplayPort Axagon RVC-DPC

Active USB-C to DisplayPort cable adapter AXAGON RVC-DPC enables connection of a DisplayPort monitor, TV or projector to a notebook, tablet or mobile phone with a USB Type-C port. The built-in hardware converter delivers video and audio up to 4K@60Hz without driver installation. The compact integrated design combines cable and converter into one unit for convenient use in limited space. Note: the cable is unidirectional (USB-C to DisplayPort) and requires a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) or a Thunderbolt 3 port with DP Alt Mode support.

Advantages

The adapter provides a stable Ultra HD signal up to 4096×2160@60Hz and supports a wide range of common display resolutions and ultrawide formats. It transfers up to 8-channel audio (96 kHz, 24-bit) and supports HDCP 2.2 for protected content. No external power is required because the unit is powered via USB-C, and hot-plug detection (HPD) ensures correct connection/disconnection behaviour while devices are running.

How to use

Connect the USB-C (male) end to a device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Insert the DisplayPort (male) connector with latch into the monitor, TV or projector until the latch engages; use the latch control button to release the connector. Set the display mode on the source device to mirror or extend the desktop as required. No drivers are typically needed; if the image does not appear, verify that the source device supports DP Alt Mode and that display settings and cables are correctly connected.

Recommendations

Use the AXAGON RVC-DPC with devices that explicitly support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 with DP Alt Mode. Check monitor and graphics adapter specifications to confirm supported resolutions. Avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connectors and operate the adapter within the specified temperature range.
