What to know before buying

The connector works only from USB-C to HDMI. It requires a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3 or 4, and the final resolution and refresh rate depend on the source and display.

Listing details to confirm

The title says 2M, while the detail field lists 6.6 Feet. The details also describe the outer material as TPE, while the feature copy calls the cable braided nylon. The listing states 4K at 240 Hz generally but specifies MacBook chip-dependent limits, and lists iPhone 15 models in details while broader compatibility copy names other and newer devices. Confirm the selected device, port video output support, display capabilities and cable version before relying on a particular mode.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People connecting a USB-C laptop, phone or computer with video output to an HDMI monitor, TV or projector.
Buyers with compatible hardware seeking high refresh rates for gaming or visual work.
Users who want a direct display link rather than wireless casting.

Less suited to

Anyone needing HDMI-to-USB-C video transmission or a cable that works with USB-C ports lacking video output support.
Buyers who need confirmed 8K or 4K 240 Hz output from a specific device without checking its limits.

Aggregate customer ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but the remaining spread includes lower ratings. This broad response does not establish why customers rated it as they did. For buyers, compatibility is especially important because the cable's claimed high-resolution modes require video-capable USB-C output and suitable display hardware.

Frequently asked questions

Will this cable work with any USB-C port?

Can it deliver 4K at 240 Hz on a MacBook?

The listing says M3 and M4 Apple Silicon are needed for up to 4K at 240 Hz, while M1 and M2 support up to 4K at 144 Hz. Actual output also depends on the display.

Is the cable 2 metres long?

The title states 2M, but the detail field lists 6.6 Feet. The supplied information does not reconcile the two length descriptions.
