Product Overview
The UANTIN USB C to HDMI Cable provides a direct connection solution for transmitting 4K video content from your USB-C enabled device to an HDMI display. This cable supports Ultra HD 4K resolution at 30Hz, ensuring clear and realistic visuals for various applications, including home office setups, presentations, and multimedia viewing. Its plug-and-play design eliminates the need for driver installations, offering a convenient and efficient way to expand your display capabilities.
Key features include a durable construction with gold-plated connectors and a braided nylon cable for enhanced longevity and signal integrity. It is compatible with a wide range of devices supporting DP Alt Mode and Thunderbolt 3/4, such as MacBook, iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy phones, and more.
Setup Instructions
- Verify Device Compatibility: Ensure your USB-C source device (laptop, phone, tablet) supports video output via its USB-C port. This is often referred to as 'DP Alt Mode' or 'Thunderbolt Full Function'. Ports that only support data transfer or charging will not work for video output.
- Connect the USB-C End: Insert the USB-C connector of the cable into the USB-C port of your source device.
- Connect the HDMI End: Insert the HDMI connector of the cable into an available HDMI input port on your display (monitor, TV, projector).
- Select HDMI Input: On your display, use the input/source button on the remote or display controls to select the correct HDMI input channel to which the cable is connected.
- Display Configuration: Your device should automatically detect the external display. You may need to adjust display settings on your source device (e.g., duplicate, extend, or second screen only) to suit your preference.
Important Note: For 4K@30Hz resolution, both your source device and your display must support 4K@30Hz. If your devices do not support this, the display may default to a lower resolution such as 2K@120Hz or 1080p.
This image illustrates how to check if your USB-C port supports display output (Thunderbolt Full Function, DP Alt Mode, or Data Transfer + DP Alt Mode) versus ports that only support data transfer or charging.
Operating Instructions
Once the cable is connected and the correct HDMI input is selected on your display, your device's screen content will be mirrored or extended to the external display. The UANTIN USB C to HDMI Cable supports one-way transmission from USB-C to HDMI.
- Mirror Mode: The external display shows the same content as your source device's screen.
- Extend Mode: The external display acts as a separate screen, allowing you to have different applications open on each display, enhancing productivity.
- Second Screen Only: The external display shows content, while your source device's screen may turn off.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UANTIN USB C to HDMI Cable, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Handle with Care: Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors. The braided nylon design offers durability, but extreme stress can still cause damage.
- Keep Connectors Clean: Periodically inspect the USB-C and HDMI connectors for dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush to gently clean them if necessary. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
- Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling with other cables.
- Avoid Liquid Exposure: Do not expose the cable to water or other liquids, as this can damage the internal components and affect performance.
