Overview
This Anker cable adapts USB-C to HDMI for connecting a MacBook, iPad, iPhone or other USB-C laptop to an HDTV or monitor at 4K 60Hz with HDR, rated for Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5 ports.
It is a USB-C to HDMI adapter cable, not a standard HDMI-to-HDMI cable, so it only helps when the source device outputs video over USB-C or Thunderbolt. The 10,000 plug-cycle durability figure comes from Anker's own internal lab testing rather than an independent test, worth keeping in mind as a claim rather than a guarantee.
- USB-C to HDMI, 4K at 60Hz with HDR
- 6 foot nylon-braided cable
- Rated for Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5
- 18-month warranty
Who it's for
MacBook, iPad or USB-C laptop owners who need a direct video-out connection to an HDTV or monitor. Not useful for connecting two existing HDMI ports to each other.
Pros and cons
- Outputs 4K at 60Hz with HDR
- Compatible with Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5
- Nylon braiding resists tangling and wear
- Only works from a USB-C or Thunderbolt port
- Fixed at 6 feet, not extendable
Performance notes
The shielding combination of a tinned copper conductor, dual aluminum layers and TPE is aimed at keeping the 4K 60Hz HDR signal stable over the full 6 foot length, while the nylon braid and nickel-plated housing are meant to resist fraying and connector wear at the plug.
