SMUGDESK DisplayPort Cable 2.1 10FT 80Gbps 16K@60Hz 8K@120Hz 4K@240Hz

SKU CH-V499-7HQCM

A 10 ft DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivering 80 Gbps for 16K at 60 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz with HDR10 and adaptive-sync support

  • Supports 16K 60Hz resolution for ultra-detailed visuals
  • 80Gbps bandwidth delivers stable high-speed transmission
  • 4K 240Hz refresh rate eliminates motion blur in games
  • Backwards compatible with DP 2.0 and 1.4 devices
  • Double nylon braided jacket increases cable durability

Purpose and audience

This SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable is built for gamers and creators who need 16K at 60 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz from a compatible graphics card. It suits high-refresh 144 Hz, 165 Hz and 240 Hz monitors as well as HDR10 workflows. It is not for buyers whose source or display only offers HDMI or legacy DisplayPort 1.2 ports.

Deciding specification

The cable delivers 80 Gbps bandwidth and meets the VESA DisplayPort 2.1 standard with DSC 1.2a, HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 support. That single bandwidth figure determines whether your GPU and monitor can reach 16K 60 Hz, 8K 120 Hz or 4K 240 Hz without compression artefacts. If your hardware caps at DisplayPort 1.4 rates, the extra headroom will not be used.

Installation and pitfalls

The ten-foot double nylon-braided jacket plugs straight into any DisplayPort, DP++ or DisplayPort++ socket on desktops, laptops or consoles such as PS4 and PS5. Ensure both the graphics card and the monitor explicitly support the target resolution and refresh rate; a 3090 or 4090 class GPU is typical for the highest modes. The only common issue is selecting a resolution the display cannot drive, which results in a blank screen until a lower mode is chosen.
