Reasons why the USB Type-C to HDMI cable often disconnects
The reasons why the USB Type-C to HDMI cable frequently disconnects may vary and include the following:

- Compatibility issues: Check if your device supports DP Alt mode (DisplayPort Alternate Mode), which is key for video output.
- Outdated drivers: Old BIOS or graphics card drivers may cause unstable connections. It is recommended to update to the latest version.
- Wrong input source selected: Confirm on the TV that the correct HDMI input source is selected.
Steps to ensure a stable connection
- Stable connection: Make sure the CableCreation USB Type-C to HDMI cable is securely plugged into the USB-C device and the monitor’s HDMI port. Avoid moving the connected device while in use to prevent accidental disconnection.
- Set the input source correctly: If your monitor has multiple HDMI ports, select the correct port via the remote control. For example, if connected to HDMI 1, make sure to select HDMI 1 as the input source.
- Update drivers: Visit the official website of the notebook manufacturer to download and install the latest BIOS and graphics drivers. After restarting the notebook, check if the connection is more stable.
- Adjust the resolution: If disconnection occurs at high resolution, try lowering the notebook resolution to 1080P or lower. CableCreation cables support up to 4K@30Hz, but some devices or displays may not be able to stably support this resolution.
Other troubleshooting tips
- Remove the protective case: When using the phone, temporarily remove the phone case to ensure that the Type-C port is fully seated on the cable.
- Check for physical damage: Carefully inspect the cable for signs of wear or damage, which may affect the quality of the connection.
