Secomp STANDARD USB Type-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable v1.2 ST/ST, 1 m (S3732)

Secomp STANDARD USB Type-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable v1.2 ST/ST, 1 m (S3732) is a single-cable solution for direct video connection between USB-C hosts and DisplayPort-equipped monitors or displays. The 1 m cable implements DisplayPort v1.2 signalling over a standard USB Type-C plug at the source and a standard DisplayPort plug at the display end. It is intended for plug-and-play use in environments that require high-definition video transmission such as presentations, workstation setups and media playback.

Advantages

The adapter cable supports DisplayPort v1.2 bandwidth and resolutions, providing reliable transmission of high-definition video. Its standard Type-C and DisplayPort connectors enable straightforward connections without additional adapters. The fixed 1 m length offers a balance between reach and signal integrity for desktop and conference-room setups. The simple, passive design reduces complexity and does not require external power or drivers for typical display use.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with USB-C video output to DisplayPort monitors
• Office workstations and dual-monitor setups where DisplayPort input is available
• Presentations and conference-room displays requiring plug-and-play video
• Media playback and content review on DisplayPort-capable screens

When it may not be suitable

This cable implements DisplayPort v1.2. It may not support features introduced in later DisplayPort versions such as higher bandwidth modes, certain multi-stream transport configurations, or maximum resolutions and refresh rates beyond v1.2 capabilities. It is also not intended as a bidirectional converter — it is designed to connect a USB-C host that outputs DisplayPort Alternate Mode to a DisplayPort input. If a source device does not provide DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, the cable will not carry video.

Key specifications

• Interface: USB Type-C (source) to DisplayPort (display)
• DisplayPort standard: v1.2
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Connector types: standard Type-C plug and standard DisplayPort plug (ST/ST)
• Power: passive cable, no external power required for video signal

How to use

Connect the USB Type-C end to a host device that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (for example a compatible laptop or tablet). Plug the DisplayPort end into the monitor or display input. Select the DisplayPort input on the display if it does not switch automatically. Adjust display settings (resolution and refresh rate) on the host as needed; ensure the chosen settings are within DisplayPort v1.2 capabilities. To disconnect, safely stop any active video playback and remove the connectors by pulling the plugs, not the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the host device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C
• Verify required resolution and refresh rate are supported by DisplayPort v1.2
• Check that a 1 m cable length is sufficient for your workspace layout
• Ensure the display has a native DisplayPort input (not only HDMI or VGA)

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for direct video connections in desktop and conference-room environments where DisplayPort v1.2 performance meets your resolution and refresh-rate needs. Avoid routing the cable through tight bends or sharp edges and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain signal quality.
