Computer Accessories, Cables & Adapters: Match the Connection First

Connecting a computer to a monitor, reading an SD card or replacing a charging lead each calls for a different accessory. Start with the ports and model numbers on your devices, then choose the connection that matches the job.

Browse TicoMart’s Computers & Networking collection for cables and adapters, display accessories and card readers. Check both ends of the connection, what the accessory does and any additional cables or power supply it needs.

DisplayPort to HDMI Adapters for Monitor Connections

If your computer has a DisplayPort output and your screen has an HDMI input, our DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter provides a DP male connector and HDMI female socket.

A DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable combines the connection into one lead; an adapter with an HDMI socket needs a suitable HDMI cable between the adapter and screen. Check what is included before ordering.

Signal direction matters. Do not assume a DP-to-HDMI adapter also works from an HDMI computer output to a DisplayPort monitor. Confirm the supported resolution and refresh rate for your exact setup.

HDMI Splitters for Showing the Same Content on Two Screens

Our HDMI Splitter — 1 Input, 2 Outputs is listed for duplicating one HDMI source across two compatible displays.

This is useful when both screens need the same picture. It does not create two independent desktop workspaces. If you want different windows on each monitor, check your computer’s display outputs or a compatible docking solution instead.

SD Card Readers for Accessing Photos and Files

An SD Card Reader connects a supported memory card to a compatible device. Before buying, check the reader’s connector, supported card format and your device’s ability to access external storage.

USB-C and Lightning are different connections. Choose according to your device’s actual port, and confirm the supplied reader version rather than relying on the device name alone.

USB Charging Leads and Device-Specific Audio Adapters

USB cables can serve different purposes, so connector shape alone is not enough to confirm compatibility. When replacing a charging lead, match the exact device model, charging connector and electrical requirements.

The collection includes charging leads listed for selected Nintendo handhelds and Philips shavers, alongside a Game Boy Advance SP headphone adapter. These are model-specific accessories; they should not be treated as universal chargers or general-purpose audio cables.

Choosing a Computer Screen Cable or AV Adapter

Check the output port on the source device and the input port on the screen. Then establish whether you need a complete cable, a connector adapter or a powered converter. Similar-looking products can perform different jobs.

• Connector: Match the port type and male or female fitting.
• Direction: Confirm which device sends the signal and which receives it.
• Display support: Check resolution and refresh rate together.
• Function: Distinguish charging, data transfer, display conversion and screen mirroring.
• Pack contents: Check whether connecting cables or power accessories are included.
