Eaton P586-020-HD-V2A 20ft 4K 60Hz Active Adapter Cable
Overview
The Eaton P586-020-HD-V2A is a robust 20-foot Mini DisplayPort 1.2a to HDMI active adapter cable engineered to bridge modern mDP or Thunderbolt-enabled devices with 4K HDMI displays. This solution is ideal for professionals needing to connect PCs, Macs, or tablets, including Microsoft Surface Pro series, to 4K monitors, projectors, or televisions. It eliminates the need for purchasing new mDP displays, allowing for cost-effective utilization of existing high-resolution HDMI infrastructure in demanding IT environments. This active adapter cable stands out by supporting full UHD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at a smooth 60 Hz, adhering to the HDMI 2.0 standard. Unlike passive adapters, the P586-020-HD-V2A is compatible with both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort outputs, making it particularly valuable for graphics cards, such as AMD Eyefinity, that may not output DP++ signals. This ensures reliable video transmission even with specialized hardware, preventing common compatibility issues. Designed for seamless integration, this cable features an mDP male connector and a gold-plated, high-grip HDMI male connector, requiring no external power adapter for operation. Its construction includes integral strain relief, providing enhanced durability and preventing cable stress. The high-grip HDMI plug ensures a secure connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections that could disrupt presentations or critical displays. Additionally, it supports rich, full audio (contingent on DisplayPort card audio passthrough) and the latest HDCP 2.2 standards, crucial for displaying protected content in professional settings.
