⚠️ Important Notice: Interface Compatibility & Port Guidelines

1. Not Compatible with Thunderbolt Displays: The female port is standard Mini DisplayPort (mDP). Although physical port shapes are identical, it is NOT compatible with Apple Thunderbolt Displays (Thunderbolt 1/2) or Thunderbolt external hard drives.
2. Unidirectional Transmission Only: Video signal transmits strictly from a USB-C source (laptop, PC, tablet, or phone) to a Mini DisplayPort display. It does not operate in reverse and cannot connect a Mini DP computer to a USB-C portable monitor.
3. USB-C DP Alt Mode Required: Your host device's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) or Thunderbolt 3/4 to transmit video. USB-C ports designed solely for charging or data transfer will not output video.
4. Mini DisplayPort Cable Required: This is a direct-plug adapter with a female Mini DP socket. A separate Mini DisplayPort-to-Mini DisplayPort (or Mini DP-to-DP) cable (not included) is required to complete the connection to your monitor.
5. 8K Resolution Conditions: Achieving 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz requires that your source hardware, Mini DP 1.4 cable, and monitor all support DisplayPort 1.4 and Display Stream Compression (DSC).
