3 ft DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b active cable

This three‑foot active cable converts a DisplayPort 1.4 source to an HDMI 2.0b display. It supports 18 Gbps bandwidth for 4K 60 Hz HDR video with 4:4:4 RGB colour and 7.1‑channel audio. Latching DisplayPort and gripping HDMI connectors resist accidental disconnection in critical AV or security installations. Cage shielding suppresses EMI for a stable signal.

Replaces passive DP-to-HDMI dongles

Passive adapters often fail at 4K 60 Hz or lack HDCP 2.3 support for protected content. This active cable adds adaptive receiver equalisation and HBR3 signalling so the link stays reliable at full 18 Gbps. The upgrade is worth it when you need guaranteed 4K 60 Hz HDR, 8‑bit colour with dithering, and secure HDCP 1.4 or 2.3 handshakes on every boot.

Fits tight AV racks and security setups

The short three‑foot length reduces cable clutter inside rack enclosures or behind displays. Male‑to‑male terminals plug directly into a GPU or media player and a monitor or matrix switcher without extra couplers. Backward compatibility with 4K 30 Hz and 1080p lets the same cable serve mixed‑resolution deployments. No external power is required.
