PYTHON DisplayPort to HDMI video cable GC-M0218, DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0, 3 m, Black

The PYTHON DisplayPort to HDMI video cable GC-M0218 is a 3 m signal conversion cable designed to connect a computer or laptop with a DisplayPort output to an HDMI display such as a monitor, TV or projector. The cable supports DisplayPort 1.4 source signalling and converts to HDMI 2.0, offering compatibility with common 4K displays at 60 Hz. The product is finished in black with an 8 mm diameter jacket and is supplied as a single unit per pack.

Advantages

This cable provides a direct wired conversion from DisplayPort to HDMI without requiring external power or adapters. The use of DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0 signalling enables transmission of high-resolution video up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz where both source and display support those modes. The 3 m length gives flexibility for desk or home AV setups while the single-piece design keeps installation simple and reduces connector strain.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop PC with DisplayPort output to an HDMI monitor
• Linking a laptop with DisplayPort to an HDMI TV for video playback
• Connecting a computer to an HDMI projector for presentations
• Use in home office or multimedia workstation setups where a 3 m cable length is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for one-way conversion from a device with DisplayPort output to an HDMI display. It will not function for HDMI source to DisplayPort display conversion. Also, features that depend on HDMI versions newer than 2.0 (for example some advanced HDR metadata or higher bandwidth modes) are not guaranteed if the display or source requires higher HDMI specifications.

• Connector 2: HDMI (male, straight)
• Supported signalling: DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0
• Maximum supported resolution: up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
• Cable diameter: 8 mm
• Colour: Black
• Quantity per pack: 1 piece

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort plug to the DisplayPort output of the source device and insert the HDMI plug into the HDMI input of the display. Ensure both devices are powered on and set the display input to the appropriate HDMI port. Configure the source device’s display settings or graphics driver to select the desired resolution and refresh rate. For optimum signal quality, avoid tight bends close to the connectors and route the cable to minimize mechanical stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your source device has a DisplayPort output and the display has an HDMI input.
• Verify the required maximum resolution and refresh rate are supported by your source and display when using DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0 conversion.
• Consider the 3 m length and 8 mm diameter to ensure it fits routing and space constraints.
• One-way conversion: not suitable for HDMI source to DisplayPort display without an active adapter.

Usage recommendations

For a stable 4K 60 Hz connection, set the output resolution on the source device to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz and select the HDMI input on the display; avoid coiled storage during use and keep the cable free from sharp bends near connectors.
