No, this cable will not work directly with a Nintendo Switch. The Switch requires its dock (or a compatible adapter that supports power delivery, USB-C, and HDMI output together) to connect properly to a TV. A simple USB-C to HDMI cable like this one cannot replace the dock. If you need portability, look for a third-party Switch dock or adapter specifically designed for travel use.

While the cable can transmit video and audio signals from a device with a USB-C port (like a laptop) to a display with an HDMI port, it cannot transmit signals from an HDMI port to a USB-C port. To connect your laptop with an HDMI port to a monitor with only a USB-C input port, you'll need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. This adapter will convert the HDMI signal from your laptop to a USB-C signal that your monitor can understand. Please ensure that your monitor's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) to guarantee compatibility with the adapter.
