StarTech 3 ft DisplayPort 2.1 Cable 54 Gbps

This VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 54 Gbps of bandwidth over a 3 ft length. It connects two DisplayPort 2.1 male ends and supports uncompressed 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz. DSC 1.2a compression enables 4K at 240 Hz, 10K at 60 Hz or 16K at 30 Hz. The cable also handles HDR10, MST daisy-chaining, HDCP 2.3, G-Sync and FreeSync.

Suited for 8K 60 Hz or high-refresh 4K with DSC

Displays and GPUs with DisplayPort 2.1 ports that need the 54 Gbps UHBR13.5 link rate will use this cable at its rated speeds. Builders who require the higher UHBR20 bandwidth tier or runs longer than 3 ft should consider other options. The fixed 0.91 m length limits placement flexibility in larger workstations.

54 Gbps UHBR13.5 bandwidth rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 54 Gbps (DP54, UHBR13.5) certification. It determines whether your source and sink can negotiate the resolutions and refresh rates listed above without link errors. Verify that both endpoints support UHBR13.5 before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a desktop monitor setup?

The 3 ft (0.91 m) cable suits short runs between a GPU and a nearby display; longer lengths are not offered for this model.

What does the 54 Gbps rating deliver on my 8K or 4K screen?

54 Gbps (UHBR13.5) carries uncompressed 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz, and with DSC 1.2a reaches 4K 240 Hz, 10K 60 Hz or 16K 30 Hz.

Is the DisplayPort 2.1 interface limited by the cable or the port?

The VESA-certified DP 2.1 cable supports the full 54 Gbps bandwidth; actual throughput caps at the lower of the source and sink port capabilities.
