What this cable is and who it is for

The StarTech DDU1226-KVM-CABLE is a 6 ft (1.8 m) combo cable that bundles two DisplayPort 1.2 links and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection into one assembly. It is built for administrators who connect a single workstation to a dual-monitor KVM switch running at 4K 60 Hz. The single-bundle design reduces cable count and eases routing in server rooms or multi-head trading desks.

What to check on your existing setup before ordering

Verify that your KVM switch presents female DisplayPort and USB 3.2 Type-B ports and that the host computer provides female DisplayPort and USB 3.2 Type-A ports. Both video links require DP 1.2 support to reach 4K at 60 Hz; older DP 1.1 ports will limit resolution or refresh rate. The cable carries 29 conductors, so ensure the switch and host connectors are not blocked by adjacent hardware.

How it behaves under sustained load

The integrated construction maintains the full 32.4 Gbit/s aggregate bandwidth across both DisplayPort channels during extended sessions, avoiding the signal degradation that can appear when separate cables are daisy-chained. USB 3.2 Gen 1 operates at its rated 5 Gbit/s for peripheral traffic such as keyboard, mouse and mass-storage devices without throttling. The male-to-male connectors lock securely, preventing intermittent disconnects in vibration-prone racks.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on each end of the DDU1226-KVM-CABLE and do I need any extra cables?

Each end carries two male DisplayPort plugs and one USB 3.2 plug — Type-A on one side, Type-B on the other — so a single cable carries both video and USB for a dual-monitor KVM switch; nothing else is required.

How do I decide between the 6 ft length and any other length that might exist?

This model is supplied only in a 6 ft (1.8 m) length; choose it when the computer sits within that distance of the KVM switch.

What does the 32.4 Gbps rating mean when the cable is plugged into a real dual-monitor KVM?

The 32.4 Gbps aggregate bandwidth supports DisplayPort 1.2 signalling, allowing each of the two DisplayPort links to drive a 4K display at 60 Hz while the USB 3.2 channel runs at 5 Gbps for peripherals.
