SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable 40 Gbps 8K 60 Hz 4K 144 Hz 1 m 3.3 ft

SKU CH-25BK-4VVDA

Transmits 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz over a VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 link with 40 Gbps bandwidth

  • 40 Gbps bandwidth enables 8K at 60 Hz
  • 4K at 144 Hz for smooth gaming motion
  • Triple shielding with 28 AWG copper keeps signals stable
  • VESA certified DisplayPort 2.1 with DSC 1.2a compression
  • Backward compatible with DP 2.0, 1.4 and 1.2

DisplayPort 2.1 cable for 8K and high-refresh 4K

This VESA-certified cable carries 40 Gbps over one metre of 28 AWG oxygen-free copper. It targets gamers and creators who need 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz from a single DisplayPort 2.1 link. Backward compatibility with 2.0, 1.4 and 1.2 means it also works with older GPUs and monitors.

Triple-shielded build with latching connectors

The braided jacket and three shielding layers suppress EMI so video and audio stay glitch-free during long sessions. Standard DP plugs with squeeze-release latches lock securely into graphics cards from Radeon R9 290, GTX 980 or 1080 and into monitors from BenQ, Dell, HP, Acer, iiyama, Odyssey and Alienware. The slim, flexible cord routes cleanly behind tight desk setups.

Replaces older DP 1.4

The jump is worth it when your GPU and panel both support DSC 1.2a and you want 8K 60 Hz, 4K 144 Hz or 2K 240 Hz without compression artefacts. It will not help if your source or display tops out at 4K 60 Hz or lacks DisplayPort 2.1/2.0 hardware. Buyers who need longer runs or fibre-optic isolation should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the DisplayPort 2.1 cable provide and what resolutions does that cap at?

The cable delivers 40 Gbps bandwidth, enabling 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 144 Hz or 120 Hz, and 2K at up to 240 Hz with DSC compression.

What connector size and cable thickness should I check for clearance behind my monitor?

It uses standard full-size DisplayPort plugs on both ends with a slim, flexible 28 AWG jacket that bends easily in tight spaces.

Do I need to install any driver or firmware to get 8K 60 Hz or 4K 144 Hz working?

No driver is required; connect the cable, then set the target resolution and refresh rate in your GPU control panel and enable DSC if prompted.
