USB-C to USB-C cables connect compatible USB-C ports directly for applications such as content sharing and AV connections. USB-C cables with video adapters add a connector conversion, such as USB-C to HDMI, to connect a USB-C source to a display or other device with an HDMI input.

Choose a 1.2-meter USB-C interface cable for a close connection between a tabletop device and a nearby display or conferencing system. A 2-meter cable provides more reach for tabletop enclosures, switchers, or installations where connected equipment sits farther apart.

Confirm that the USB-C interface cable’s connector type matches the source and receiving device, then verify that both devices support the intended function, such as content sharing or AV signal transmission over USB-C. Also check the cable length, any required adapter, and the system’s port requirements, because USB-C ports may support different capabilities depending on the device.

When comparing USB-C interface cables, check the connector configuration, length, and whether the cable supports the intended AV or content-sharing application. Also confirm device compatibility and whether an HDMI adapter is included when connecting USB-C equipment to displays or other HDMI-enabled systems.
