Hardware Connectivity

Mirror or extend a 4K monitor, projector, or TV to your computer

The Plugable USB-C to HDMI Adapter (USBC-THDMI) is for users who want to add a HDMI monitor, projector or television to their USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 compatible computer.

This compact adapter is under 2 inches in size, making it perfect for travel and taking on the go. Featuring a unique flat cable design, you can forget about messy cables and take advantage of the tight bend radius, which allows the adapter to fit in confined and compact spaces. The adapter enables an HDMI 1.4 output at resolutions up to 3840x2160 @ 30Hz (4K 30Hz) from systems which support "DisplayPort Alternate Mode" (Alt Mode) via USB-C.

Plug and Play

Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems without needing to install additional software.

DisplayPort Alternate Mode provides a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.

Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.

4K Performance

Connect your HDMI equipped monitor, television or projector to your laptop and achieve resolutions up to 3840x2160 @ 30Hz (4K 30Hz).

Other popular supported resolutions include 3440x1440, 2560x1440, 1920x1200, 1920x1080 and lower.

Note: This adapter will not work with DisplayPort monitors.

Flexible Flat Cable

The adapter is equipped with a flat, printed circuit cable that allows for a small footprint and flexibility. This means the cable itself is more sturdy and less prone to breakage from everyday use like traditional, round, copper cables.

The compact and easy to use flat profile enables the adapter to hug surfaces and take advantage of tight spaces. This flexibility saves space and eliminates clutter so that you don't have to deal with the cable mess.

Compact and Portable

Measuring in at 1.7in x 1in x .4in (4.3cm x 2.3cm x 1.1cm), the small, compact size is great for travel and small desk spaces.

Lighter than a pencil, this adapter makes for a great spare and is easy to take from your desk to the conference room. Throw it in your bag and you'll forget it's there until you need it.

Dual Monitors-The Fast and Simple Way
Setting up a productive workstation starts with extra monitors. The Plugable USB 3.0 and USB C to Dual HDMI Video Adapter (UGA-HDMI-2S) keeps things simple. A one plug solution that adds two HDMI ports to your computer, the HDMI monitor adapter leaves your other ports open for peripherals. And because this adapter doesn't add on extra functionality, it's a lot more affordable than a docking station-something your purchasing manager will appreciate.
Multiple Displays
With the UGA-HDMI-2S converter, easily connect two HDMI monitors. Of course, dual display is just the start. On Windows machines, combine multiple graphic adapters to add up to 8 monitors. On a Mac, combine multiple adapters to add up to 3 monitors.
See It All
It doesn't matter if you connect through a USB 3.0 port or a Thunderbolt 4 port, you can count on resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz-even when adding multiple adapters.
No Connection Complexity
A hybrid 2-in-1 cable takes the guesswork out of picking an adapter that matches your computer-no IT support required. This HDMI dual monitor adapter works with the ports you have now, and the ports you'll have on your next computer-USB 3.0, USB-C, USB4, even Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4. It's compact, too, so it's as portable as your laptop.
The Fine Print
Designed for office work using web and productivity apps-like Google Docs, the Windows Office Suite, and internet use in general-these USB C to HDMI adapters are not recommended for gaming, graphics-intensive or design work. This USB to dual HDMI adapter doesn't support playback of HDCP-protected content on sites like Netflix and Hulu. On Mac, screen rotation is not available and clamshell mode is only available on macOS 12 when the laptop is connected to its power adapter.
Silicon Motion driver (SMI) download is required for Windows. SMI Instant View driver download is required for Mac.

The Plugable Passive USB4 EPR cable is built to deliver a true USB4 experience.
Incredibly fast 40Gbps data transfer speeds and support for two 4K screens or one 8K screen is just the start. With Extended Power Range (EPR), this cable is built with the future in mind and can deliver up to 240W. And because it's USB-IF Certified, it can be used as a Thunderbolt 3 cable in your Thunderbolt 3 dock - and that's true for USB4, and USB-C, too.

240W Extended Power Range

When we say this cord offers Extended Power Range (EPR), we mean it can carry up to 240W, unlike previous generations of cables that max out at 100W.

For many, this will be considered a fast charging option. And that's no surprise, because with 240W, you can power just about any laptop on the market, and what's to come.

As more devices begin to integrate EPR functionality, you'll find this cable has you future-proofed.

USB-IF Certified

Often overlooked, the cables connecting our computers to their peripherals have an important part to play. That's why our USB4 EPR cables are USB-IF Certified, it's the only official way to ensure you're getting complete compatibility and reliability. That means this data transfer cable with speeds up to 40Gbps, 240W 48V/5A EPR, is backward compatible with previous generations of Thunderbolt and USB.

Future-Proof with USB4

Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or USBC to USBC cable, what is it? All of the above. And a little more.

This cable is USB-IFcertified, and that comes with some incredible benefits. Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, or USB-C, it doesn't matter, The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 EPR cable will work. Even at a full meter (3.3ft), you won't see a decrease in performance.

It should be noted that actual performance is determined by the capabilities of the host and peripheral(s).
