Can I use this to connect a monitor to another monitor?

Troubleshooting
No signal on the external monitor
Ensure your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and verify that the input source on your monitor is set to the correct DisplayPort channel.
Resolution is capped at 30Hz
Check if your computer's graphics settings allow for 60Hz and ensure the monitor port being used supports DisplayPort 1.2 or higher.

The DisplayPort connector features a locking latch; gently push the release button on the connector housing before pulling it from the monitor.

- Locking DisplayPort connector ensures a stable connection
- Compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems
- Supports dual monitor setups via Mirror or Extended modes

- Fixed 1.5-meter length may be short for some specialized desk setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your connection, simply insert the USB-C end into your computer or tablet's Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) port. Connect the DisplayPort end to your monitor or projector, pressing it in until you hear the latch click into place. If your computer does not automatically detect the monitor, navigate to your display settings to toggle between Mirror or Extended modes. To maintain the cable, avoid bending it at sharp angles near the connectors and store it coiled loosely when not in use. Ensure your hardware supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, as this is required for the signal to pass through the USB-C port.
