About
A pure signal pass-through adapter with no PCON chip — it simply routes the native DisplayPort Alt Mode signal from USB-C to a full-size DisplayPort 1.4 receptacle, avoiding the latency, color-space quirks and HDCP/HDMI Forum licensing entanglements that FRL protocol converters introduce.

Used to drive a Pimax 8K VR headset from a laptop with only DP 1.4-over-USB-C ports (no native DisplayPort); also confirmed in a MacBook context. At the extreme bandwidth demanded by high-res VR, the cable introduces RGB color noise and disconnection flickers. Unidirectional only.
