CAC-1504 HDMI 2.0 4K60Hz Adapter

The Club3D CAC-1504 is a Type-C to HDMI 2.0 UHD adapter in its simplest form without sacrificing any features. The adapter is the easiest solution for connecting your USB 3.1 Type-C source which features DisplayPort Alternate mode to an HDMI 2.0 monitor, projector, or TV.

The CAC-1504 is a tiny adapter with a short cable that makes it easy to hide behind equipment, yet flexible enough to not get in the way of anything else. It is still an active adapter and that is among things possible without extra power supply due to the increased power capabilities of the connector.

With HDMI 2.0, we got support for Ultra High Definition resolutions with up to 60Hz. That should also satisfy gamers who want to play at higher framerates than the 30FPS. At 60FPS everything should run smoothly, whether you play the latest Blueray movie or play the latest AAA game title. The adapter also supports 8-channel audio, so your target device will also get the best possible audio delivered through this adapter.

So, I mentioned above that you need a system with DisplayPort Alternate Mode in order to use this and in simple terms, if you got a DisplayPort 1.2, then you also have this feature and it can provide your system with a possible missing HDMI 2.0 port which your graphics card might not have on its own or just doesn’t have enough of for your needs.

There is plenty of support for this device thanks to the universality of USB. Whether you run a Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 or Goggle Chrome OS or Apple OS X, the Club3D CAC-1504 will run like a charm.

Package and Accessories

The CAC-1504 comes in a simple cardboard package that’s made of recycled paper, a bonus in my opinion. The box will be discarded once you’ve unpacked your adapter, so we don’t need more here. Still, we have all the vital information right on the front of the box with a picture of the adapter and its resolution specification.

The rear of the box has a little more information on the adapters usage in several languages.

Inside the box is only the adapter itself, but it got an additional layer of protective film attached to it, making sure that it arrives at your place in optimal condition.

Usage

When it comes to the usage of this adapter, then it’s real easy. Plug it in and connect it, and it works. You can enter your display settings and adjust it to the resolution that you’d like and that your monitor supports. With HDMI 2.0 that is up to 4K and 60Hz.
