It is one of the most common desk problems in Australia. The graphics card in your tower has two or three DisplayPort outputs and a single HDMI. The second monitor you just bought — or the boardroom TV, or the projector in the training room — only takes HDMI. You do not need a new monitor or a new graphics card. You need one cable that converts the signal on the way through.

This is a 2 metre DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable. DisplayPort plug on one end, HDMI plug on the other, and the conversion built into the connector. There is no power adapter, no driver disc and no software. You plug it in, the display appears, and you get on with your day.

What it works with

Use it when the source device has a DisplayPort output and the display has an HDMI input. That covers most of what people actually own:

• Desktop PCs and workstations with a DisplayPort on the graphics card
• Docking stations and monitors with a DisplayPort output
• Any HDMI monitor, TV or projector on the receiving end

The honest limitation — read this before you order

This cable is uni-directional. Signal travels from DisplayPort to HDMI and only in that direction. If your source is an HDMI device — a laptop with an HDMI port, a games console, a set-top box — and you are trying to reach a DisplayPort monitor, this cable will not work and no amount of swapping ends will change that. You need a dedicated HDMI-to-DisplayPort converter instead.

Also worth knowing: if your laptop or tablet has a USB-C port rather than a full-size DisplayPort, this is the wrong cable. Look at our USB-C to HDMI cable or USB-C to DisplayPort cable instead.

Why buy from an Australian seller

The same cable listed on an overseas marketplace usually lands about three weeks after you order it — and it always seems to be the week you actually needed the second screen working. This one ships from Australian stock and reaches most metro addresses in 2 to 5 business days.

You also get the things that matter once something goes wrong or the bookkeeper asks questions: a proper Australian tax invoice you can claim, local support you can actually reach, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a 12-month Australian warranty behind the product. Returns go to an Australian address, not a postbox in another hemisphere.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work the other way around, from HDMI to DisplayPort?

No. This cable is uni-directional. The DisplayPort end must connect to the source device — your PC or graphics card — and the HDMI end to the monitor, TV or projector. If your source only has HDMI, you need an HDMI-to-DisplayPort converter instead.

Does it carry audio as well as video?

HDMI carries audio and video together, so sound from your PC can travel to a TV or a monitor with built-in speakers. You may still need to select the HDMI device as your output in Windows or macOS sound settings.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It is plug and play with no drivers or software. Connect both ends, then choose the correct input on your display.

Will it work with my USB-C laptop?

Not directly. This cable needs a full-size DisplayPort on the source device. If your laptop only has USB-C, use our USB-C to HDMI cable instead.

How long does delivery take?

The cable ships from Australian stock — order before 2pm on a business day and it ships the same day, arriving within 2 to 5 business days. You will receive an Australian tax invoice with your order.

The post DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 2m — Connect Your PC to Any HDMI Monitor | Eplugit appeared first on Eplugit AU.

Anyone who has run a desktop and a monitor for a while knows the two everyday annoyances: the video cable that works its way loose every time you move the screen or reach behind the desk, and the cable that is 1.2 metres long when the tower sits on the floor.

The Eplugit DP to DP Cable is a plain, well-made DisplayPort cable that fixes both. Two metres gives you real slack between a tower and a monitor arm, and the locking connector clicks into the port and stays there until you press the release. It carries audio alongside the picture, and supports multi-stream transport (MST) for daisy-chaining compatible monitors.

Daisy-chain two screens from one port

MST support means that if your graphics card and your monitors both support DisplayPort daisy-chaining, you can run a cable from the PC to the first monitor and a second cable from that monitor’s DisplayPort output to the next one — a second screen without a second cable trailing back to the tower. Both the graphics card and the first monitor need to support MST for this to work; the monitor’s specification will list a DisplayPort output if it does.

What it works with

Computers

Desktop PCs and workstations with a DisplayPort output, NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, mini PCs, and laptops with a full-size DisplayPort socket.

Monitors

Any monitor with a full-size DisplayPort input — office monitors, 4K monitors, ultrawides, gaming monitors and multi-screen setups.

Audio

DisplayPort carries sound as well as picture, so a monitor with built-in speakers or a headphone socket can take its audio through this one cable.

Honest limitations

Both ends are full-size DisplayPort male connectors. This cable does not fit a mini DisplayPort socket without an adapter, and it will not connect a DisplayPort output to an HDMI monitor — for that you need our DP to HDMI cable. It also cannot connect a USB-C laptop to a DisplayPort screen; our USB-C to DisplayPort cable does that job.

The resolution and refresh rate you end up with are set by your graphics card and your monitor, not by the cable — a DisplayPort connection runs at whatever both ends negotiate. If you are chasing a specific combination such as 4K at high refresh, contact us before ordering with your card and monitor models and we will confirm whether this cable suits.

Why buy from an Australian seller

A $15 cable from an overseas marketplace typically takes about three weeks and comes with no support at all. We hold stock in Australia and dispatch locally, so order before 2pm on a business day and it ships the same day, arriving in 2–5 business days, with free shipping.

Every order comes with a proper Australian tax invoice showing GST, which matters when you are fitting out an office or a lab and buying several. The cable is covered by a 12-month Australian warranty and our 30-day money-back guarantee, so any return is handled here rather than posted overseas.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution and refresh rate will I get?

A DisplayPort connection runs at whatever your graphics card and monitor negotiate between them, so the answer depends on your hardware rather than the cable. If you are aiming at a particular combination — 4K at a high refresh rate, or an ultrawide at 144Hz — send us your graphics card and monitor models before ordering and we will confirm whether this cable is the right one for you.

What does the locking connector do?

It clips into the DisplayPort socket so the cable cannot be pulled out accidentally. To unplug it, press and hold the release button on the connector while pulling — pulling on the cable alone will not release the latch.

Can I daisy-chain two monitors with it?

Yes, if your hardware supports it. The cable supports MST, so with a graphics card that supports DisplayPort MST and a first monitor that has a DisplayPort output, you can run PC to monitor one, then monitor one to monitor two. Both the card and the first monitor need to support MST.

Will it fit a mini DisplayPort port, or plug into an HDMI monitor?

No to both. Both ends are full-size DisplayPort. A mini DisplayPort socket needs an adapter, and to drive an HDMI monitor from a DisplayPort output you need our DP to HDMI cable instead.

Does it carry audio to my monitor’s speakers?

Yes. DisplayPort carries audio and video together, so a monitor with built-in speakers or a headphone socket can take its sound through this cable.
