Overview

The Kramer C-DPM/HM/UHD-6 is a purpose-built active cable that connects a DisplayPort output directly to an HDMI input, handling the signal conversion internally without requiring a separate adapter or dongle. The 20-pin DisplayPort male connector on one end plugs into your computer, workstation, or other DP-equipped source, while the 19-pin HDMI male connector on the other end connects to your monitor, projector, or television. With support for 4K UHD resolution and both digital audio and video transmission, it delivers a clean, high-quality signal through a single cable run.

At 6 feet in length, this cable suits typical desk configurations, presentation setups, and conference room installations where the source device is within reach of the display. The active electronics inside the cable ensure signal integrity across the conversion, which is particularly important at higher resolutions where passive cables can introduce handshake issues or signal degradation. The black cable and standard connector profiles keep the installation clean and unobtrusive. It is worth noting that this cable is strictly one-directional — it transmits from DisplayPort to HDMI only and cannot be used in reverse — so confirming your source and display port types before purchasing is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Kramer C-DPM/HM/UHD-6 active cable supports 4K UHD output from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display.
Active cables contain built-in electronics that convert the DisplayPort signal to HDMI. This makes the connection more reliable than passive cables, especially at 4K resolutions and longer lengths, since it handles the signal conversion internally.
No. This is a one-directional cable. It only transmits from a DisplayPort (male) source to an HDMI (male) display. It cannot convert an HDMI output to DisplayPort.
Yes. The cable transmits both digital audio and video from your DisplayPort source to the HDMI display, so a separate audio cable is not needed.
