Q: QuestionIs this cable good for an older (2015) imac from the thunderbolt export to HDMI on back of TV to show hard drive pictures and home videos from the imac?

Asked 3 months ago by DeloresC.

• A:Answer The 4K HDMI DisplayPort Cable is not compatible with your 2015 iMac’s Thunderbolt port. I believe iMac uses Mini DisplayPort (via Thunderbolt 2), while the JDC158 has a full-size DisplayPort connector, which will not fit directly.

Q: QuestionWill this work to connect my laptop with an HDMI to a monitor with a display port?

Asked 5 years ago by JMEAZ.

• A:Answer Hello JMEAZ, Thank you for your question! The j5create DisplayPort-to-HDMI (JDC158) display cable is mono-directional cable designed to go from a computer with a DisplayPort output port to a monitor with an HDMI input port. Unfortunately, it is not possible to go from a computer with an HDMI output to a monitor DisplayPort input with a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter, such as the JDC158 cable. -j5create

Q: QuestionWill this enable 120fps/165hz from Xbox series s-HP Omen 27i?

Asked 1 year ago by Trip.

• A:Answer The Xbox Series S is not compatible with the 4K HDMI DisplayPort Cable because the HDMI end of the cable needs to connect to the monitor while the DisplayPort end connect to a device such as a computer. My recommendation would be to purchase our JCD53 8K HDMI cable. The cable supports higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. Thank you.
