DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter StarTech DP2HDMI2 — DP 1.2 to HDMI 1080p, DisplayPort to HDMI dongle, latching DP connector, 0.21 m

The StarTech DP2HDMI2 DisplayPort to HDMI adapter converts a DisplayPort 1.2 video output to an HDMI connection, enabling connection of an HDMI monitor, TV or projector to a DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop. This compact adapter has a latching DisplayPort connector, an HDMI output and a 0.21 m cable length in a black housing. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 (including 1080p) and provides audio pass-through when supported by the video source. The adapter is passive and requires a DP++ (DisplayPort++) port on the host device for HDMI/DVI signal conversion. Certified CE and RoHS, it is lightweight and designed for simple plug-and-play use.

Advantages

This adapter offers a small form factor and latching DisplayPort connector for a secure physical connection. As a passive DP++ solution it converts DisplayPort output to HDMI without drivers or software, enabling straightforward connection to HDMI displays. The unit supports common HD resolutions and audio pass-through where the source provides it, and its compact design is convenient for desktop and mobile setups. CE and RoHS certifications indicate compliance with applicable safety and environmental standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting a DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop to an HDMI monitor or HDTV
• Connecting a computer to an HDMI-capable projector for presentations
• Upgrading display compatibility without replacing an existing HDMI display
• Temporary or portable setups where a short, compact adapter is preferred

How to use

Plug the latching DisplayPort connector into the computer’s DisplayPort output ensuring the latch engages for a secure fit, then connect the HDMI end to the HDMI input on the monitor, TV or projector. Configure the display settings in the operating system to mirror or extend the desktop and set the preferred resolution up to 1920x1200. If audio output over HDMI is required, verify that the computer’s video output supports audio and select the HDMI audio output in the system sound settings.

Usage recommendations

Use this passive adapter only with a host video output that supports DP++ (DisplayPort++). For reliable performance, avoid bending the short cable sharply and ensure the DisplayPort latch is fully engaged. If the source does not provide audio over DisplayPort, a separate audio connection will be required. For higher than 1920x1200 resolutions or active conversion requirements, consider an active converter solution.
