  • HDR compatibility delivers high dynamic range visual quality
  • DSC support allows visually lossless compression at high resolutions
  • Three-foot length fits compact desktop or portable setups

What this cable connects

This VESA certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable links a DP 2.1 source to a compatible display. It supports the DP80 designation with UHBR20 bandwidth for high resolution and high refresh rate signals. The three foot length suits desktop setups where the source and monitor sit close together.

Upgrade path and when it matters

It replaces older DisplayPort cables that cannot carry UHBR20 traffic. The jump is worth it when both the graphics output and the monitor implement DisplayPort 2.1 and require the full 80 Gbit/s link rate. Systems limited to earlier DisplayPort versions will not benefit from the higher bandwidth this cable provides.

Practical limits of the DisplayPort 2.1 link

The cable is rated for the DP80 UHBR20 tier, so it handles the maximum link rate defined by the DisplayPort 2.1 standard. Actual resolution, refresh rate and HDR performance depend on the capabilities of the connected source and display. Cable length beyond this three foot model may reduce signal integrity at the highest rates.

Questions about this item

What DisplayPort version and certification does this 3 ft cable support?

The cable is VESA certified for DisplayPort 2.1 and meets the DP80 specification with UHBR20 bandwidth.

Which connector type does this cable use for installation?

It uses standard DisplayPort connectors on both ends; push each plug straight in until the latch clicks, as angled insertion can bend the pins.

When should I consider replacing this DisplayPort cable?

Replace it if the latch no longer holds, if you see flickering or signal loss at 8K or high refresh rates, or if the cable has been sharply bent or crushed.
