Extron DP-HDMIF/6 (part number 26-680-06) — a 6 ft (1.8 m) active adapter cable carrying a dual-mode DisplayPort source to a female HDMI connection. Extron has retired this part number; the suggested replacement is the DPM-HDF/6 4K PLUS.

The female HDMI end is the detail that makes this cable useful: it lands as a receptacle rather than a plug, so an existing HDMI cable can plug straight into it at the display or wallplate without an extra coupler. Active circuitry inside the DisplayPort connector handles the format conversion from a dual-mode source, and EDID is passed back to that source so it sees the display's real capabilities. At 0.26 in outer diameter with a 0.95 in bend radius the assembly is certified to live inside an AVEdge, Cable Cubby or HSA surface access enclosure.

Key Capabilities

• Active conversion from a dual-mode DisplayPort source to HDMI.
• Female HDMI termination accepts a standard HDMI cable directly.
• EDID passed through from the display back to the source.
• HDMI data rate of up to 2.5 Gbps per lane; 100 ohms ±10 ohms pair impedance.
• Latching male DisplayPort connector with gold-plated contacts.
• 0.26 in (6.5 mm) outer diameter with a 0.95 in (24.1 mm) bend radius.
• Certified for AVEdge, Cable Cubby and HSA surface access enclosures.

Where It Is Used

Table boxes and furniture enclosures where a captive DisplayPort tail has to accept guest HDMI cables, laptop connectivity panels in conference and training rooms, lectern connection plates, and legacy systems still built around a DisplayPort source and an HDMI switcher input.
