Microconnect HDMIUSB3.2A Microconnect HDMIUSB3.2A

The Microconnect HDMIUSB3.2A is an active HDMI-to-USB-C adapter that converts an HDMI source signal into a USB-C DisplayPort-compatible input for displays that support DisplayPort over USB-C. The adapter supports resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz and is uni-directional: it only transmits from an HDMI source to a USB-C DisplayPort-enabled display. The unit includes a micro-USB power port; maximum required power is 5V/1A.

Advantages

This active adapter enables compatibility between HDMI output devices and USB-C displays that accept DisplayPort input, supporting high-resolution 4K at 60 Hz. Its uni-directional design reduces connection confusion by clearly defining source and display roles. The external micro-USB power input ensures stable operation when the HDMI source cannot supply sufficient power.

Suitable for

• Connecting HDMI-equipped laptops, desktops or media players to USB-C monitors or projectors with DisplayPort alternate mode
• Use in meeting rooms and classrooms to display presentations from HDMI sources on modern USB-C displays
• Home entertainment setups where an HDMI source must be shown on a USB-C monitor or TV that supports DisplayPort over USB-C

Key specifications

• Signal conversion: HDMI (source) to USB-C DisplayPort (display)
• Direction: Uni-directional (HDMI to USB-C only)
• Maximum resolution and refresh rate: 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
• Power input: Micro-USB port, required power up to 5 V / 1 A
• Connector types: HDMI male to USB-C female

How to use

Connect the HDMI male plug to the HDMI output of your source device, and connect a USB-C cable from the adapter's USB-C female port to a display that supports DisplayPort over USB-C. If the adapter requires external power, connect a 5V/1A micro-USB power supply to the micro-USB port. Ensure the display is set to the correct input and that the source is outputting an HDMI signal.

Recommendations

Use a certified micro-USB power adapter when external power is needed; verify that the target display supports DisplayPort alternate mode over USB-C. Do not attempt to use the adapter in the reverse direction (USB-C source to HDMI display), as it is uni-directional and will not function.
