50 cm DisplayPort 2.1 cable

This VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable measures 50 cm and carries a 54 Gbps bandwidth rating. It connects two DisplayPort 2.1 male connectors for short-run desktop or workstation links. Buyers needing longer reach for wall-mounted displays or multi-monitor spans should choose a different length.

Simple plug-in connection

The cable installs by seating each male connector into a matching DisplayPort 2.1 port until the latches click. The 50 cm length reduces slack but can strain ports if routed around tight corners or heavy GPU backplates. Forcing the latch release instead of squeezing it is the most common cause of damaged connectors.

Bandwidth ceiling at 54 Gbps

The DP54 rating supports uncompressed 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz, and with DSC 1.2a it reaches 4K 240 Hz, 10K 60 Hz or 16K 30 Hz. Resolutions or refresh rates beyond these limits will not transmit reliably over this cable. Builders targeting higher uncompressed bandwidth must wait for future UHBR20-certified cables.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 54 Gbps bandwidth after connecting it?

Check your GPU control panel or monitor OSD to verify the link reports UHBR13.5 and the expected 8K 60Hz or 4K 240Hz mode with DSC 1.2a active.

What comes in the box and is anything else required to use the cable?

The package contains only the 50 cm DisplayPort 2.1 male-to-male cable; no adapters or drivers are needed if both devices have native DisplayPort 2.1 ports.

Which version or capacity should I choose for 4K 240Hz gaming with G-Sync or FreeSync?

This DP54-certified 50 cm model supports 4K 240Hz via DSC 1.2a and is compatible with G-Sync and FreeSync, so it meets that requirement.
