Passive vs. Active DisplayPort Adapters

Understanding the difference between passive and active adapters is key to a successful multi-monitor setup. Passive adapters are simpler and rely on the computer's outputting a compatible signal (DP++). Active adapters, on the other hand, contain a small chipset that actively converts the video signal, making them more reliable for long cable runs and essential for connecting three or more monitors on many graphics cards. Plugable offers both types to match your specific hardware needs.

Seamless Integration with HDMI and DVI

DisplayPort is a versatile standard, but many monitors still use HDMI or DVI. Our adapters provide a seamless bridge between these standards, supporting everything from standard high-definition to 4K resolutions. Our HDMI adapters also support audio pass-through, so you can get both sound and video to your TV or monitor using a single cable.

Durable Design for Professional Use

We know that reliability is paramount in a professional environment. Our DisplayPort adapters are built with high-quality connectors and robust housing to withstand the rigors of daily use. Tight-fitting connectors ensure a stable signal, preventing flickering or signal loss caused by loose cables. Whether you're in an office, classroom, or on a production set, you can trust Plugable to keep your display connected.
