Ready for 16K and high refresh rates
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 80 Gbps bandwidth and supports resolutions up to 16K at 60 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz. It handles HDR10, HDCP 2.2 and DSC 1.2a for lossless colour and audio. The 3.3 ft braided cord connects any DP, DP++ or DisplayPort++ source to a compatible monitor. VESA certification confirms compliance with the UHBR20 speed grade.
Bandwidth ceiling and compression
The 80 Gbps link covers UHBR10, UHBR13.5 and UHBR20 transmission modes. At the highest resolutions the cable relies on Display Stream Compression 1.2a to fit the data stream within the available bandwidth. Forward error correction helps maintain signal integrity, but the physical link cannot exceed the rated 80 Gbps. Length is fixed at 3.3 ft, so longer runs would need an active solution not provided here.
Check port version and monitor specs
Verify that both the graphics card and the display expose DisplayPort 2.1 ports capable of UHBR20; older DP 1.4 ports will fall back to lower speeds. Confirm the monitor’s EDID lists the target resolution and refresh rate combination you intend to use. Ensure the GPU drivers support DSC 1.2a and the desired HDR mode. The cable itself is passive and requires no external power.
