Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported by this cable?

This DisplayPort 1.2 cable supports a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels (4K UHD) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Does this cable support audio transmission?

Yes, DisplayPort cables, including this one, transmit both digital video and audio signals.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the connector contacts are gold-plated to ensure optimal signal conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

What does 'latching connectors' mean?

Latching connectors have small clips that physically secure the plug into the port, preventing accidental disconnections. You need to press the clip to release the connector.

Is this cable compatible with DisplayPort++ (DP++) sources?

Yes, DisplayPort 1.2 cables are generally compatible with DP++ sources, allowing them to output signals for DVI or HDMI using an adapter, though this functionality depends on the source device.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 5 meters.

Is this cable suitable for HDR content?

While this cable supports 4K@60Hz, DisplayPort 1.2 does not have specific native support for HDR metadata transport as newer versions like DisplayPort 1.4 do. For HDR, it is recommended to use a DisplayPort 1.4 or higher cable, or an HDMI 2.0a/b connection if supported by your devices.

What is the jacket material?

The jacket material of this cable is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Troubleshooting

No signal detected or flickering screen.

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the source and display devices. Check that the correct input source is selected on your display. Try reseating the cable by unplugging and replugging both ends. Verify that both devices support DisplayPort 1.2 and the desired resolution/refresh rate.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected.

Confirm that your source device and display are configured to output and accept the desired resolution and refresh rate. Check the DisplayPort version supported by both devices; this cable is V1.2. Ensure no other software or settings are limiting the output.

Cable does not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct DisplayPort connector. The latching mechanism requires the connector to be fully inserted before it clicks into place. Press the latches to ensure they are not obstructing the connection, then firmly push the connector in until it seats properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high 4K resolution at 60Hz for sharp visuals.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure superior signal quality and longevity.
  • Shielding protects against interference for a stable connection.
  • Latching mechanism provides a secure and reliable physical connection.
  • Durable build with strain relief for everyday use.
  • Plug and play functionality simplifies setup.

Cons

  • Limited to DisplayPort 1.2 specifications; may not support newer features found in higher versions.
  • The 5m length might be insufficient for very large setups.
  • While the cable is black, the connectors are gold, which may not match all aesthetics.
  • Requires compatible DisplayPort 1.2 ports on both connected devices for full functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., computer, laptop) and your display device (e.g., monitor, TV, projector) have available DisplayPort ports.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the DisplayPort output on your source device.
  3. Connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort input on your display device.
  4. The cable features latching connectors. Gently press the tabs on the connectors to release them before unplugging.
  5. Once connected, your display should automatically detect the input. You may need to select the correct input source on your display device via its on-screen menu.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compliant with the DisplayPort 1.2 standard.
  • It is compatible with any device featuring a standard DisplayPort output and input.
  • For resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz, ensure both the source device and the display support DisplayPort 1.2 or higher.
  • It supports multi-stream transport (MST) and 3D capabilities, provided the connected devices also support these features.

Care:

  • Keep the connectors clean. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe them if necessary.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal wiring.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive heat or moisture.
  • When disconnecting, always press the latches firmly to avoid damaging the connectors or ports.
