For the named passive class, the DisplayPort source must document DP++ support. An active converter is a different product class; active does not itself promise a higher display mode.

Check the actual cable’s certification information
Search the exact product. The public list defaults to the last two years; use its date filter when appropriate. Absence is a manufacturer enquiry, not a declaration that a product is unsafe or unsupported.
Look up the exact cable/adapter manufacturer and model in the VESA certified product database. This link or a similar drawing does not certify your cable.
Use the official cable name and certification label for the exact model; the current HDMI guidance describes standard QR-app verification. A connector picture or generic HDMI version is not product authentication.
A generic illustration and these lookup links do not certify any particular cable.

T03-S1 · Supported within the stated documentation scope
An active adapter on the Steam Deck dock output
Document 3840x2160 60Hz SDR from the dock DisplayPort output to monitor HDMI.
Use the Docking Station with its captive Deck lead and a documented HDMI cable.
Use the active DP2HD4K60S; this case makes no passive-DP++ inference and no HDR/VRR claim.
Valve lists a DP1.4 output and up-to-4K60 dock display support; the adapter describes active DP-to-HDMI conversion without extra drivers. M05-10 · M05-11
Dell specifies the monitor’s HDMI input and 4K60 native mode. M05-02
Supported within the stated documentation scope: The documented port roles and bounded mode align. Active conversion addresses the stated adapter class; the actual link still needs normal model/firmware checks.
Next check: Keep the current Deck/dock firmware, selected output, cable and display mode with the record.
Documentation scope only. This is not a hardware test, detected device state, pinout, electrical replacement approval or guarantee for another product/revision.

The proposed adapter is DP2HD4K60S, not an HDMI-to-DisplayPort model.
StarTech identifies the converter input as DisplayPort and its output as HDMI; Xbox Series X supplies HDMI. M05-11 · M05-07
The proposed path disagrees with the documentation: The documented source and converter input do not match. The active electronics are not evidence of reverse conversion.
Next check: Select documentation for an HDMI-input-to-DisplayPort-output product before evaluating the monitor mode.

The motherboard is identified, but the installed CPU display capability has not been supplied.
DP2HD4K60S narrative calls for DP1.4 at 4K60 while a feature bullet says DP1.2 minimum. The source document does not resolve this difference. M05-11
The board manual’s display/storage capabilities have processor-dependent limits; a board socket is not the installed CPU’s display declaration. M05-29
Specific information is still missing: A complete mode cannot be established from these records. Keep the conflicting adapter requirement visible and identify the actual CPU/output support.
Still needed:
Installed CPU model and display output capability
Manufacturer clarification of the adapter DP1.2/DP1.4 requirement
Next check: Obtain the adapter maker’s clarification and the installed CPU’s exact display specification; retain the requested color/refresh mode.

The answer
Short answer Yes, with an adapter used DisplayPort → HDMI. A passive adapter class applies only if the DisplayPort output supports DP++ (dual-mode); otherwise use an active converter.
What you need
The cable or adapter class
DisplayPort → HDMI active converter
DisplayPort → HDMI passive adapter
Before you buy
What must be true
One direct display path, without a dock or extra conversion stage
All converter power requirements are satisfied, or documented as not needed
Exact cable / converter supports the selected signal direction
Source supports the complete requested video mode
Every cable and converter supports that complete mode
Selected display input supports that complete mode
Watch out
Direction and exact products matter
Connectors that fit do not prove a connection works. Check that the exact cable or adapter is documented for DisplayPort → HDMI, and that both devices support what you need. Going the other way? See HDMI to DisplayPort.
