An active cable, such as this adapter, has an active conversion that allows it to perform the conversion itself, inside the wire, rather than use the source device.

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface and works by using TDMS (transition-minimized differential signalling). TDMS encodes the signal being transmitted, which protects information from degrading as it travels along the cable from one place to another. One of the many wires carries the signal itself and another wire carries the inverse. Once the signals have reached the TV, the TV decodes the signal. Then, using the difference between the original signal and the inverse, the TV compensates for any loss of information that may have happened along the way.

There are many versions of HDMI since it was commercially launched in 2003. Each revision normally adds support for specific devices and includes new features. For example, the very first version (1.0) could transfer data at 4.95Gbps, while the newer (2.0) iteration can transfer data up to 18Gbps. This, amongst other features.

Simply plug the USB C end into a C-type port (could be a thunderbolt 3 port) and the HDMI connection into the desired display and you’re ready to go. This lead from StarTech.com is plug in and ready to go.
