Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Type A cable 0.5 m, Lindy, model 40910, black, active

Lindy Active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Type A cable (0.5 m) is designed to convert a Mini DisplayPort output to a standard HDMI input with support for high-resolution video and multi-channel audio. The cable features an integrated active chipset that enables reliable signal conversion for both dual-mode (DP++) and non-dual-mode graphics sources, improving compatibility with laptops and desktops including Surface and MacBook devices. Constructed with a 5 mm diameter jacket and finished in black, the 0.5 m length is suited for short-range connections between a source device and a nearby display or projector. The product is CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH certified and supplied as a single unit in a polybag.

Advantages

The active design with an in-built chipset ensures stable conversion of Mini DisplayPort signals to HDMI and extends compatibility to sources that would fail with passive adapters. The cable supports up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz for high-resolution video and carries uncompressed multi-channel audio when the source device supports audio over DisplayPort. A compact 0.5 m length and slim 5 mm diameter provide a discreet connection for tight setups, while the black finish integrates easily with most AV equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting Mini DisplayPort-equipped laptops (Surface, MacBook, notebooks) to HDMI displays or projectors
• Short-distance 4K@60Hz video playback for presentations, signage or home cinema
• Setups requiring conversion from non-dual-mode or problematic DP outputs where passive adapters fail
• Applications needing multi-channel audio over HDMI when the source supports audio over DisplayPort

How to use

Connect the Mini DisplayPort plug to the Mini DisplayPort output on your laptop or other source device and insert the HDMI Type A plug into the HDMI input on your display, TV or projector. Ensure both devices are powered on and select the correct HDMI input on the display. In the source device’s display settings choose the desired resolution and refresh rate; for best results select 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 at 60 Hz if supported. If audio is required over HDMI, confirm that the graphics adapter and drivers support audio over DisplayPort and select HDMI as the audio output device in the operating system.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct connections only; for longer runs use a purpose-made longer cable or active extenders. Keep drivers and graphics firmware up to date to ensure compatibility at high resolutions. Note that some integrated graphics adapters and certain GPU drivers may not support audio over DisplayPort or may limit color sampling at 4K@60Hz (for example 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2); if audio or full chroma settings are required, verify support with your device manufacturer and GPU driver release notes.
