DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers 80 Gbps bandwidth for 16K at 30 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz over two metres
- DisplayPort 2.1 delivers 80Gbps bandwidth for 16K@30Hz resolution
- Dynamic HDR and HDCP 2.2 support vivid colour and protected content playback
- 28AWG oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transmission

- 15,000-plus bend lifespan withstands frequent cable routing
What this cable delivers
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 80Gbps bandwidth and supports resolutions up to 16K at 30Hz with DSC, plus 8K at 120Hz, 4K at 240Hz and 1440p at 360Hz. It is built for gamers and video editors who need high refresh rates at ultra-high resolutions. The 28AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and aluminium shell provide EMI resistance and heat dissipation.
Check before you buy
Verify that both your source device and display have full-size DisplayPort connectors and support the resolution and refresh rate you want to run. The cable is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0, but maximum performance requires DisplayPort 2.1 on both ends. Ensure your graphics driver and monitor firmware are up to date for DSC 1.2a and HDR 10.
Upgrading from older cables
This replaces any DisplayPort 1.4 or earlier cable that limits you to 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz. The jump is worth it when you move to a monitor capable of 4K at 240Hz, 8K at 120Hz or 16K at 30Hz and need the full 80Gbps link without compression artefacts. It also adds Dynamic HDR 4:4:4 and HDCP 2.2 for protected 8K content.

Questions about this item
Does the 2 m cable include any adapters or must I buy a separate DisplayPort-to-HDMI converter?
The package contains only the DisplayPort 2.1 cable itself; no adapters or converters are included, so a separate purchase is required for HDMI or other interfaces.
Should I choose a different length or version if my monitor only supports 4K at 144 Hz?
The 2 m DisplayPort 2.1 cable already handles 4K at 144 Hz and higher refresh rates, so no other length or version is needed for that resolution.
Will the advertised 80 Gbps bandwidth deliver 4K at 240 Hz on my RTX 3080 without compression?
The cable provides 80 Gbps and supports 4K at 240 Hz using DSC 1.2a compression, which is required to achieve that refresh rate at this bandwidth.
