Problem using HDMI port of Minisforum PC

KVM Model:

DP 1.4 2 monitor, 4 computer

USB Interface (5-gigabit or 10-gigbit):

don’t know, don’t think it matters in my case


Problem:

I am trying to use the Minisforum UM890 PRO with 2 monitors through the KVM.

Since the Minisforum has one DP output and one HDMI output, I use this cable to connect the HDMI output to the DP input on the KVM (Club 3D CAC-1082):
CLUB3D DisplayPort™ 1.4 to HDMI™ 2.0b HDR Cable Male/Male 2m/6.56 ft. - Cable Interface/Gender Adapters: Amazon.de: Electronics & Photo

However, I get no output (no image on monitor AOC basic 1080p monitor). On further investigation, I think the cable is directional, and I think the cable I use is the wrong way.

My question is:
Do you recommend that this cable (for example) would work (Club 3D CAC-1335)?

Club 3D CAC-1335 HDMI+ Micro USB to DisplayPort 4K120Hz or 8K30Hz M/B Active Adapter: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

Other Notes:

If there are other recommendations for a cable to use… by all means, please… :smiley: (just let it be also from Club 3D; I’m strange that way…)
The KVM is not defective, I don’t think so; it worked for a couple of years so far w/o problem by using a simple DP cable for that port… I only some days ago bought the Minisforum and changed the setup - it’s not working…

You’re correct the cable in question you listed in a DisplayPort → HDMI cable, this cannot be flipped around to be HDMI → DisplayPort.

We usually recommend this cable:

Yup new cable you should be fine!
