Secomp STANDARD USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter cable v1.2 ST/ST 2 m (S3733)

The Secomp STANDARD USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter cable v1.2 ST/ST 2 m (S3733) is a passive video and audio cable that carries DisplayPort 1.2 signals over USB Type‑C connectors. With a 2 metre length and straight Type‑C to DisplayPort terminations, this adapter cable enables a direct connection from USB‑C equipped laptops, tablets or docking stations to monitors and projectors that accept DisplayPort input and support DP 1.2 features.

Advantages

This 2 m passive cable supports DisplayPort 1.2 signal transmission and carries both video and audio, allowing single‑cable connection for AV output. The straightforward construction and fixed cable length reduce the need for separate dongles or adapters while maintaining a simple plug‑and‑play experience with compatible devices. The cable is suitable for setups where a reliable wired connection and DP 1.2 features such as higher bandwidth and multi‑stream transport are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB‑C laptops or tablets to DisplayPort‑equipped monitors and projectors
• Extending workstation setups from docking stations to external displays
• Office, home office and classroom environments requiring wired video/audio output
• Applications that use DisplayPort 1.2 features such as higher resolutions and MST (when supported by source and sink)

When it may not be suitable

The cable is a passive DisplayPort over USB‑C implementation and will rely on the source device to provide native DisplayPort Alt Mode. It is not suitable for devices that do not expose DisplayPort signals over their USB‑C port or for users who require active signal conversion between different video standards. For very long runs beyond 2 m or for higher DisplayPort versions (e.g., DP 1.4 or DP 2.0) with greater bandwidth needs, this cable may not meet performance requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Passive USB Type‑C to DisplayPort adapter cable
• DisplayPort version supported: DisplayPort 1.2
• Connectors: USB Type‑C to DisplayPort (straight/standard)
• Length: 2 metres
• Signals carried: Video and audio over DisplayPort Alt Mode

How to use

Plug the USB Type‑C connector into the source device that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (such as a laptop, tablet or docking station). Connect the DisplayPort end to the monitor or projector’s DisplayPort input. Power on both devices and select the appropriate input on the display if necessary. If the source device supports DisplayPort 1.2 features and the display is compatible, the monitor should negotiate resolution and audio automatically. Adjust display settings on the source device if required.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the USB‑C source supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP 1.2 or compatible)
• Verify that the target display accepts DisplayPort input and supports the required resolution/refresh rate
• Confirm 2 m cable length is suitable for your setup and cable routing

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for direct, short‑to‑medium length connections where the source exposes native DisplayPort over USB‑C. For setups requiring higher DP versions, longer distances, or active signal conversion, consider alternatives designed for those needs.
