  • Enjoy 8K at 60 Hz with 40 Gbps bandwidth
  • Game smoothly at 4K 144 Hz or 2K 240 Hz
  • Triple-shielded 28 AWG oxygen-free copper keeps signals clean

What it is

The SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 40 Gbps over a 3.3 ft run. It is built with 28AWG oxygen-free copper and triple shielding. The link is VESA certified for HBR10 bandwidth and backwards compatible with DP 2.0, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, and 1.1.

Who it suits

Gamers driving 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz get the headroom they need. The cable also handles 2K at 240 Hz with FreeSync and G-Sync active. Buyers who want more storage or a second card should look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour

The triple-shielded construction keeps the 40 Gbps stream stable during long sessions. HDR10, HDCP 2.2, and 7.1 audio pass through without drop-outs. DSC and Forward Error Correction maintain signal integrity at 8K 60 Hz over the full length.

Questions about this item

Do I need a graphics card and monitor that both have DisplayPort 2.1 ports to use this cable?

Yes, to reach 40 Gbps and 8K@60Hz both ends must support DisplayPort 2.1; the cable is backwards compatible with DP 2.0, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2 and 1.1 for lower resolutions.

Will this cable work with my GTX 980 and a 144 Hz 1440p monitor?

The GTX 980 uses DisplayPort 1.2, so the cable will carry 2K@144Hz without issue; higher rates such as 4K@144Hz require a newer GPU.

How can I confirm the link is running at 40 Gbps after I plug it in?

Check your GPU control panel or monitor OSD — it should report a 40 Gbps HBR10 link and the target resolution such as 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz.
