DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 4K120Hz/8K60Hz Active Cable - 3m

In this review of the Club 3D CAC-1087, the bottom line is simple: this Active DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI cable is for users who need the highest-resolution, high-refresh HDMI output from a DisplayPort source without extra adapters. The single biggest reason to buy is its ability to deliver up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz with HDR support using DP1.4 DSC compression, all in a plug-and-play 3 m cable that requires no external power. For gamers, content creators and anyone upgrading to a modern HDMI display, it bridges DisplayPort sources and HDMI displays reliably.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with HDMI 4K120Hz and 8K60Hz displays so users can connect a DisplayPort output to modern HDMI-only screens without extra hardware.
• No external power: The active design delivers required signal conversion without a separate power source, keeping setup clean and cable-only.
• DP1.4 DSC: Uses DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC video compression to maintain high-quality video and audio at demanding resolutions and refresh rates.
• HDCP support: Supports HDCP 1.4 and 2.3 to enable protected streaming content on compatible displays without handshake issues.
• HDR and audio: Supports Dynamic metadata HDR10+ and full audio pass-through so HDR content and immersive sound formats can be carried to the display.
• Easy setup: Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers or software, making it simple to add high-resolution HDMI output to a DisplayPort device.

Who It's For

This cable is best for gamers with GPUs that output DisplayPort who want to use a high-refresh HDMI monitor or TV at 4K120Hz, and for digital artists or videographers who need crisp 8K60Hz HDR output to HDMI displays. It is also a practical choice for anyone replacing multiple adapters with a single cable that handles conversion.

Users who rely on very specific VRR implementations or who need guaranteed support for every advanced audio passthrough format should verify compatibility with their exact display and GPU combination, since reported experiences with VRR were mixed in customer feedback.
