Product Information

Full details

The Lindy Fibre Optic Hybrid DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 18G cable is designed for users needing to extend DisplayPort signals to an HDMI display over long distances without signal degradation. Its key benefit is reliable, high-resolution signal extension up to 10 meters, unaffected by interference. A potential caveat is its specialized hybrid nature, requiring compatible DisplayPort and HDMI ports.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This cable supports resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) at 60Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling and 8-bit color depth, providing a data transfer rate of 21.6 Gbit/s.

Can this cable be used to connect a DisplayPort source to another DisplayPort display?

No, this cable is specifically designed to convert a DisplayPort signal from the source to an HDMI signal for the display. It cannot be used for DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort connections.

Is this cable compatible with Mac computers?

Yes, if your Mac has a DisplayPort output and you are connecting to an HDMI input on your display, it should be compatible. macOS supports DisplayPort and HDMI connections.

Does this cable require any software or drivers to work?

No, this is an active cable that handles signal conversion internally. No additional software or drivers are required; it functions as a plug-and-play device.

Can I use this cable for audio transmission as well?

Yes, HDMI transmits both video and audio signals. This cable will carry audio from your DisplayPort source to your HDMI display, provided both devices support audio transmission over their respective ports.

What does 'hybrid' mean in the context of this cable?

The 'hybrid' construction means the cable internally combines both fibre optic and copper wiring. This design allows for longer cable lengths and superior signal integrity compared to all-copper cables, while also offering better resistance to electrical interference.

What is the difference between this hybrid cable and a standard DisplayPort to HDMI adapter?

This hybrid cable is a single, long-length solution for extending the signal directly between devices. Standard adapters typically require a separate, shorter copper cable and are not designed for long-distance runs. The hybrid nature also provides enhanced interference immunity.

Troubleshooting

No video signal or flickering display

Ensure both DisplayPort and HDMI ports are clean. Verify that the source device supports DisplayPort 1.2 and the display supports HDMI 2.0. Try connecting directly without passing through any extenders or splitters. Test with a different source or display if possible.

Lower resolution than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)

Confirm that the source graphics card is configured to output the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the display device is capable of receiving and displaying that resolution. Check that the graphics card supports DisplayPort 1.2 and the HDMI input on the display supports 4K@60Hz.

Poor performance or stuttering video

This is unlikely with a hybrid cable but could indicate a faulty connection or source issue. Ensure the source device is not under heavy load. Close unnecessary applications on the source computer.

AMD Eyefinity setup not working correctly

Ensure the latest graphics drivers are installed. Double-check the Eyefinity configuration within the AMD graphics software. Verify that all connected displays are compatible and properly detected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends signals significantly further than standard copper cables.
  • Maintains high signal quality and resolution (4K UHD) over its full length.
  • Resistant to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
  • Enables multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity technology.
  • Flexible and slim design simplifies installation in various environments.

Cons

  • Limited to a maximum of 10 meters; longer runs require different solutions.
  • Hybrid technology may be more costly than basic copper cables.
  • Requires DisplayPort output and HDMI input, not suitable for other combinations.
  • Requires active conversion, meaning it's not a passive adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source device (e.g., computer, graphics card) has a DisplayPort output and the display device (e.g., monitor, TV, projector) has an HDMI input.
  2. Connect the DisplayPort male connector to the DisplayPort output of your source device.
  3. Connect the HDMI Type A male connector to the HDMI input of your display device.
  4. The cable provides active conversion, so no additional power adapters or drivers are typically required.

Compatibility:

  • Source Ports: Requires a DisplayPort 1.2 or higher output.
  • Display Ports: Requires an HDMI 2.0 or higher input.
  • Graphics Cards: Compatible with both dual-mode (DP++) and non-dual-mode graphics cards.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with all operating systems that support DisplayPort and HDMI output.
  • Technology Support: Supports AMD Eyefinity technology.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (storage temperature: -40 to 70 °C).
  • Protect the cable from physical damage, such as crushing or abrasion.
