Port and direction check
Choose the right connection
Mini DisplayPort male; compatible Thunderbolt 1/2 video output to HDMI Type-A female; separate HDMI Type-A male-to-male cable required
One-way Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1/2 video source to HDMI display. It is not HDMI-source to Mini DisplayPort-display, and it does not fit USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 ports.
Inspect port labels and connector shapes under good light before routing. Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, full-size DisplayPort, USB-C, VGA and full-size HDMI are distinct interfaces even when two connectors appear similar at a glance.
Resolution, refresh and signal
Verified display modes and performance
Up to 1920 × 1200 and 1080p Full HD; no exact refresh figure is safely stated. Compatible digital HDMI audio when provided by the source. The selected mode also depends on the source graphics hardware, separate HDMI cable and receiving display. No 4K or exact refresh figure is claimed for this old exact SKU.
A maximum resolution or refresh rate is not forced by the product. The source GPU, source port, adapter or cable, receiving input and every intermediate device must negotiate a mode they all support.
When a high mode fails, establish a stable direct connection at a conservative timing, then raise one setting at a time while checking picture, colour and audio.

A reliable first connection
Setup and usability guidance
Follow a controlled sequence so connector, direction, display-mode and audio faults remain easy to isolate.
- Confirm the source has Mini DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort-shaped Thunderbolt 1/2 video output, not USB-C.
- Connect the adapter’s Mini DisplayPort male plug to the source.
- Attach a known-good HDMI Type-A male cable to the adapter’s HDMI female socket.
- Connect the other HDMI plug to the receiving display and select that HDMI input.
- Start at 1080p or a lower shared mode; no exact refresh is promised and choose mirror or extend on the source.
- Select the HDMI device as the audio output only if the source hardware supplies audio over Mini DisplayPort.
- If the picture or sound fails, test a direct short HDMI path before adding switches, receivers or wall plates.
Compatibility explained
Compatible devices and systems
Required source side
- Mini DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort-shaped Thunderbolt 1/2 video output
- The source port must provide video output, not merely share a similar connector shape
- Graphics hardware and system settings must support the requested display mode
Required display side
- HDMI Type-A input reached through a separate HDMI male-to-male cable
- The selected display input must be enabled and support the chosen timing
- Any separately required cable must be sound and correctly rated
System behaviour
- No product-specific application is required for ordinary display use
- Mirror and extended-desktop choices are controlled by the source operating system
- Resolution, refresh, colour, HDR and audio options depend on the complete signal chain
Important boundaries
- Not USB-C, Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4
- Not reverse HDMI-source to Mini DisplayPort-display conversion
- Audio is conditional on the source Mini DisplayPort implementation
Compatibility is conditional. A device name or logo in product artwork identifies a use category, not universal support for every hardware revision, operating system, graphics mode, port direction or accessory chain.
Supported jobs
What this product does
Use SKU 10461 for these verified roles.
- Converts one Mini DisplayPort or compatible Thunderbolt 1/2 video output to HDMI.
- Provides an HDMI Type-A female socket for a separately purchased HDMI cable.

Important exclusions
What this product does not do
These exclusions prevent the most common wrong-product purchases and unsafe installations.
- It does not convert an HDMI source into a Mini DisplayPort display.
- It does not fit USB-C, Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 ports.
- It does not include the separate HDMI male-to-male cable required for use.
- It does not support 4K or establish a safe 1080p refresh rate for this exact old SKU.
- It does not guarantee audio from an older Mini DisplayPort source that provides video only.
- It does not split one graphics output across several independent displays.
Best-practice checklist
What to do
Protect the connection and make later diagnosis straightforward.
- Identify both physical ports and confirm which device is the source before connecting anything.
- Start with a conservative display mode, then raise resolution or refresh only after a stable picture is established.
- Insert and remove connectors by their housings, keeping the lead free of tension and sharp bends.
- Select the intended input on the monitor, television or projector after the cable path is complete.
- Test the direct, shortest supported path before adding switches, wall plates, extensions or capture equipment.
- Keep the product dry, ventilated and accessible enough to inspect if picture or audio changes.
A labelled, supported and tested connection is easier to maintain than one hidden immediately after purchase.
Avoid these mistakes
What not to do
Most failures come from wrong interfaces, unsupported claims, strain or uncontrolled channel changes.
- Do not force a connector into a similar-looking port or use a direction opposite to the one stated for this model.
- Do not pull, kink, crush, staple or allow the cable or adapter to hang by either device port.
- Do not assume the maximum printed mode will work through an older source, display, cable or intermediate device.
- Do not hot-plug repeatedly while diagnosing; power-cycle the source and display after reseating the path.
- Do not install the product outdoors, underground or permanently inside a wall without the required published rating.
- Do not continue using damaged, loose, contaminated or unusually hot connectors or housings.
Stop using the product if a connector, housing, jacket or lead is cracked, loose, contaminated, unusually hot or exposes conductive parts.
Read before installation
Warnings and limitations
The following limits remain important even when the connector appears to fit.
- A printed maximum is a ceiling, not a forced mode. The source, graphics hardware, adapter or cable, receiving display and every intermediate connection must share the requested resolution and refresh rate.
- Some early Mini DisplayPort source hardware carries video but no audio; confirm the exact computer specification.
- USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 are physically different and unsupported.
- A broader 4K30 family tag conflicts with the exact old product body and artwork and is deliberately excluded.
- Long HDMI-extension guidance is not a guarantee; cable quality and the selected mode control reliable distance.
- No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated for this exact product.

Problem-to-check sequence
Troubleshooting guide
| No picture | Confirm Mini DisplayPort/TB1–2 source to HDMI display direction, select the correct HDMI input and restart both endpoints. |
|---|---|
| Plug does not fit the source | Do not force it into USB-C. Compare the connector shape and choose a USB-C display adapter if appropriate. |
| Picture works but there is no sound | Confirm the source Mini DisplayPort hardware supports audio, then select the HDMI display as the audio output. |
| No signal at a higher mode | Return to a lower shared timing, use a shorter known-good HDMI cable and remove intermediate devices. |
| Intermittent image | Support the adapter, reseat both plugs and test another HDMI cable directly to the display. |
| Mirror or extend is unavailable | Detect the screen in system display settings and confirm the graphics hardware supports another active display. |
Change one variable at a time. A known-good direct connection at a conservative display mode is the fastest way to separate a product fault from a port, direction, cable, graphics setting, display input or audio-path problem.
