VESA-Certified DP 2.1 Cable

This VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers 80 Gbps bandwidth over a 6 ft length. It connects graphics cards and monitors that support the UHBR20 standard. The male-to-male connectors suit desktop workstations and high-refresh gaming displays.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The cable carries VESA certification for DisplayPort 2.1 compliance at DP80 speed. Locking connectors resist accidental disconnection during routine adjustments. The 1.83 m reach fits typical desk-to-monitor distances without excess slack.

Practical Limits of the Interface

Uncompressed signals reach 10K at 60 Hz, 8K at 60 Hz, or 4K at 240 Hz. With DSC 1.2a compression the link supports 16K at 60 Hz, 10K at 144 Hz, or 8K at 240 Hz. Builders needing longer runs or higher uncompressed bandwidth must consider active or fibre alternatives.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the DisplayPort 2.1 cable deliver and what resolutions does it cap at?

The DP80 cable provides 80 Gbps (UHBR20), supporting uncompressed 10K 60 Hz, 8K 60 Hz, 4K 240 Hz and DSC 1.2a compressed 16K 60 Hz, 10K 144 Hz, 8K 240 Hz.

What connectors and length does the 6 ft cable use for mounting?

Two DisplayPort 2.1 male plugs on a 6 ft (1.83 m) cable; standard DP shape fits any DP 2.1 or earlier port without adapters or special brackets.

How is the VESA-certified cable installed and what step is often missed?

Plug each male end firmly until the latch clicks; the step users miss is pressing the release button before pulling the connector out, which prevents port damage.
