JSAUX 4K DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (1m) – DP Male to HDMI Male, 4K@30Hz with Audio, Grey
Product description
Introduction
If you’re aiming to connect a computer to a 4K or full HD display, the JSAUX 4K DisplayPort to HDMI Cable offers a straightforward, plug-and-play solution. This is a unidirectional DisplayPort (DP) to HDMI lead, so it won’t convert HDMI back to DP. It’s designed for clean video and audio transmission from a PC or laptop to a monitor, projector or HDTV.
What it is and what it does
This 1-metre DP to HDMI cable uses a tinned copper core with triple-layer shielding to minimise interference and protect signal quality. The aluminium shell, nylon braided jacket and gold-plated connectors are aimed at durability through frequent plugging and unplugging. On paper, it supports high-definition video up to 4K at 30 Hz, and 1080p at higher refresh rates, with uncompressed digital audio pass-through.
Pros and cons at a glance
Pros: simple, cord-length is convenient for typical desk setups, durable construction, supports audio plus video, broadly compatible with common brands and graphics cards. Cons: only supports DP to HDMI direction, not suitable if you need HDMI to DP or a bidirectional solution, 4K is limited to 30 Hz, which may be less ideal for fast-paced content or gaming compared with higher Hz options.
Who it’s for
It suits users who want a reliable way to extend or mirror a computer display on a 4K or 1080p TV, monitor, or projector, especially if you’re connecting a laptop or desktop with DisplayPort output to an HDMI display.
When to buy and when to skip
Buy if you need a straightforward DP→HDMI connection with audio and you’re aiming for up to 4K at 30 Hz. If you require higher refresh rates for gaming or professional colour-critical work, or you need HDMI-to-DP direction, this cable may not be the best fit.
What to check before buying
Ensure your device provides DisplayPort output and supports the desired video resolution and audio pass-through. Remember this is a unidirectional cable (DP to HDMI), so you’ll need a compatible input on the display side. The 1 m length is convenient for desktop setups but may limit reach in larger rooms.
Practical use case
Imagine you’ve got a thin-and-light laptop with DP output and a 4K TV for occasional media streaming or a presentation. You can connect quickly, sit back on the sofa or at a desk, and enjoy both video and audio through the TV without needing additional adapters.
