Most laptops ship with a short charging cable, which is fine if the power point is directly behind your desk and useless everywhere else. Add a wall socket down near the skirting board, a hot desk, a hotel room or a couch, and you spend the day sitting closer to the wall than you want to. Two metres fixes that without an extension lead.

The second problem is that a lot of USB-C cables are charge-only. They look identical, they cost about the same, and then you plug in an external SSD and get USB 2.0 speeds. This cable does both jobs properly: full-speed power and full-speed data in the one lead.

What it works with

Any device with a USB-C port on both ends of the connection. In practice that means:

• Laptops — MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo and other USB-C charging laptops. The cable carries up to 100W, so it will run a laptop charger at full output rather than throttling it.
• Phones and tablets — Samsung, Google, iPad Pro and iPad Air, and iPhone 15 and later.
• Storage and accessories — external SSDs, portable drives, USB-C docks and hubs, where the 10Gbps data rate is the point.

Charging speed is always set by the lower of your charger and your device — a 100W-capable cable does not make a 30W charger faster. It simply stops the cable being the bottleneck.

The honest limitation

This is a data and power cable. It is not sold as a video cable, so do not buy it expecting to drive a monitor from your laptop’s USB-C port. For that, use our USB-C to HDMI cable or USB-C to DisplayPort cable, which are built for display output.

Why buy from an Australian seller

Cables are exactly the product people order from overseas to save three dollars and then wait three weeks for. If the cable that came with your laptop has finally frayed, three weeks is not a plan. This one is in stock in Australia and typically arrives in 2 to 5 business days.

For business buyers there is a second reason. You get a proper Australian tax invoice for the expense claim, a 12-month Australian warranty behind the product, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a local contact if something is wrong — instead of a message thread with a seller in a different time zone. Buy ten for the office and you get one invoice, one delivery and one point of contact.

Frequently asked questions

Will it charge my MacBook at full speed?

The cable supports up to 100W, which covers the great majority of USB-C laptop chargers. Actual speed is set by your charger and your laptop — the cable’s job is to not be the limiting factor.

Can I use it to connect my laptop to a monitor?

No. This cable is specified for power and data, not video output. Use our USB-C to HDMI cable or USB-C to DisplayPort cable for a display.

Is 10Gbps fast enough for an external SSD?

Yes. At 10Gbps the cable will keep up with common portable SSDs, so large file copies and video transfers run at drive speed rather than cable speed.

Will it work with my Samsung phone and my iPad?

Yes, as long as both the device and the other end of the connection use USB-C. That includes recent Samsung and Google phones, iPad Pro and iPad Air, and iPhone 15 and later.

How quickly will it arrive?

It ships from Australian stock — order before 2pm on a business day and it ships the same day, arriving in 2 to 5 business days, with an Australian tax invoice included.

It is the most common connection problem in any office: a modern laptop with two USB-C ports and nothing else, and a screen, projector or TV that expects HDMI. The usual answer is a dongle plus a separate HDMI cable — two things to lose, and one more connection to work loose halfway through a presentation.

The Eplugit USB C to HDMI Cable does it with one cable. USB-C plugs into the laptop, HDMI plugs into the screen, and the picture appears. It carries up to 4K at 60Hz, so a 4K monitor runs at a proper refresh rate rather than the sluggish 30Hz you get from cheaper cables, and at 2 metres it is long enough to reach a wall-mounted screen or across a boardroom table.

What it works with

Laptops and tablets

Any USB-C device whose port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode — the feature that lets a USB-C port output video. That covers most recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, Dell XPS and Latitude, HP Spectre and EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Yoga, ASUS ZenBook, Acer Swift, Microsoft Surface models with USB-C, many Chromebooks, and USB-C iPads.

Displays

Any screen with a standard HDMI input: 4K and 1080p monitors, TVs, office and classroom projectors, portable monitors and conference-room displays.

Honest limitations — read this before you buy

This cable only works if your USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. A USB-C port that is wired for data and charging only cannot output video, and no cable can change that — this is the single most common reason a USB-C to HDMI cable “does not work”. Check your laptop or tablet’s port specification first; many budget laptops and most phones do not support it.

The cable is also directional: it runs from a USB-C source to an HDMI display. It will not send an HDMI source, such as a camera or console, into a USB-C screen or capture device. And as always, 4K@60Hz requires your laptop and your monitor to both support it — on a 1080p screen the cable simply runs at 1080p.

One cable, nothing to configure

There is no software, no driver and no power supply. macOS and Windows detect the second display as soon as the cable is connected, and you set mirroring or extended desktop in your normal display settings.

Why buy from an Australian seller

If you need a screen working for a meeting on Thursday, a three-week wait from an overseas marketplace is not a plan. 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 buying for a business, a school or a home office you claim against. The cable is covered by a 12-month Australian warranty and our 30-day money-back guarantee — so if it turns out your laptop’s port does not support video output, you are returning it to an Australian business, not posting it back overseas.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my laptop will work with this cable?

Your laptop’s USB-C port needs to support DisplayPort Alt Mode. Most recent MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and Surface laptops do, and manufacturers usually note it in the port specification as “USB-C with DisplayPort” or “DP Alt Mode”. If the port is listed as data and charging only, video output will not work through it.

Will it work with my iPhone or Android phone?

Most phones do not support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C, so in general no. Check your phone model’s specification for DisplayPort Alt Mode or “video out” before ordering.

Can I run it the other way, from an HDMI device into a USB-C screen?

No. The cable is directional: USB-C source to HDMI display. It will not take an HDMI output from a camera, console or set-top box into a USB-C port or capture device.

Will I get 4K at 60Hz?

The cable supports up to 4K@60Hz. Whether you see it depends on your laptop and your monitor — both need to support 4K@60Hz as well. On a 1080p display the cable runs at 1080p.

Do I need to install anything?

No. There are no drivers and no power supply. macOS and Windows recognise the second screen as soon as you plug it in, and you choose mirrored or extended display in your usual display settings.

Most business and gaming monitors have a DisplayPort input. Most current laptops have USB-C and little else. The gap between those two facts is usually filled with an adapter, a second cable and a connection that drops out whenever the desk gets bumped.

The Eplugit Type C to DP Cable removes the middle step. USB-C at the laptop end, DisplayPort at the monitor end, one continuous 1.8 metre cable carrying up to 4K at 60Hz. Plug it in and the monitor appears in your display settings — there is nothing to install and no power required.

Why DisplayPort rather than HDMI

If your monitor offers both, DisplayPort is usually the better input to use on a computer: it is the connector most desktop monitors are designed around, and it keeps the HDMI port free for a console, a set-top box or a second machine. On a two-screen desk, running one monitor over DisplayPort and the other over HDMI means each screen has its own dedicated path out of the laptop.

What it works with

Laptops and tablets

Any USB-C device whose port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. That includes most recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, Dell XPS and Latitude, HP Spectre and EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Yoga, ASUS ZenBook, Acer Swift, Microsoft Surface models with USB-C, many Chromebooks and USB-C iPads.

Monitors

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

Honest limitations — read this before you buy

The cable depends on your USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode. USB-C ports built for data and charging only cannot output video, and no cable will change that; this is far and away the most common reason a USB-C video cable appears not to work. Check your laptop’s port specification — manufacturers list it as “USB-C with DisplayPort” or “DP Alt Mode”. Most phones do not support it.

The cable also runs one way: from a USB-C source to a DisplayPort display. It will not feed a DisplayPort output into a USB-C screen, and it does not connect to a mini DisplayPort socket without an adapter. Reaching 4K@60Hz needs your laptop and your monitor to both support it as well.

Why buy from an Australian seller

Waiting about three weeks for a cable from an overseas marketplace means three weeks of working on a single screen. We hold stock in Australia and dispatch locally, so orders normally arrive in 2–5 business days, with free shipping.

Every order includes a proper Australian tax invoice showing GST — worth having when the cable is going on a business or a home-office claim. The cable is covered by a 12-month Australian warranty and our 30-day money-back guarantee, so if it turns out your laptop’s USB-C port does not carry video, the return is handled here in Australia.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Will this work with my laptop?

It will if your laptop’s USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Most recent MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS and Surface laptops do — the specification usually says “USB-C with DisplayPort” or “DP Alt Mode”. If the port is listed as data and charging only, it cannot output video and this cable will not produce a picture.

Does it fit a mini DisplayPort monitor?

No. This cable has a full-size DisplayPort connector at the monitor end. A mini DisplayPort input would need an adapter.

Can I use it from a DisplayPort computer into a USB-C monitor?

No. The cable is directional — USB-C source to DisplayPort display. It does not work in reverse.

Should I use DisplayPort or HDMI for my monitor?

If your monitor has both, DisplayPort is generally the better choice for a computer and leaves the HDMI input free for a console or another device. On a dual-screen desk, many people run one monitor over DisplayPort with this cable and the second over HDMI with our USB-C to HDMI cable.

How quickly does it ship?

We dispatch from within Australia, so order before 2pm on a business day and it ships the same day, arriving in 2–5 business days with free shipping. Your order includes an Australian tax invoice, and the cable is covered by a 12-month Australian warranty and our 30-day money-back guarantee.
