The Kramer C-DPM/HM is well-suited for connecting a DisplayPort source directly to an HDMI monitor or display. The male-to-male configuration eliminates the extra cable connection required by adapters with a male-to-female configuration. This simplifies the system and reduces the number of failure points. The cable is great for applications that require a video connection between a new laptop or desktop and an HDMI-enabled display.
The C-DPM/HM requires a dual-mode DisplayPort device that implements both HDMI and DisplayPort signals. These devices are usually identified with the DP++ logo.
