Review on πŸ”Œ Plugable USB C to DisplayPort Adapter - 6ft (1.8m) 4K@60Hz Cable by Jason Sergeantson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with Matrox graphics expanders - Apple dongle adaoter not working - Update with minor fix

I am using a dual monitor expansion card - Matrox Dual Head2 Go only for my Macbook Pro 2016 USB C. I have first tried using the Apple USB-C to MiniDisplayport adapter to connect to the Matrox Dual Head cable, but that didn't work. I had to call Matrox, who said Apple's "adapter" supposedly wasn't working, and ordered this cable (USB-C to Displayport) from Plugable. To my surprise and great joy, it started straight away with no problems. I'm disappointed in Apple (it's been a slow, gradual, and somewhat sad journey), but thumbs up and thanks to Plugable for selling products that work. Satisfied enough that I'm buying a USB-C to VGA cable because the Apple dongle thing may or may not work. No credibility and I won't risk making a presentation about it.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
