Product Information
Full details
This Lindy Black Line DisplayPort 2.1 cable is designed for users in home and small office environments seeking reliable, high-resolution video and audio connectivity. Its key benefit is enabling support for ultra-high resolutions up to 16K, future-proofing your setup for advanced visual demands. A potential caveat is that achieving the maximum 16K resolution at 60Hz requires Display Stream Compression (DSC), which is handled by the source and display devices.

FAQs
What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?
This Lindy Black Line DisplayPort 2.1 cable supports Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolutions up to 16K (15360x8640) at 60Hz, provided that Display Stream Compression (DSC) is utilized and supported by both the source and display devices.
Is this cable compatible with older DisplayPort versions?
Yes, this cable is backward compatible with previous DisplayPort versions such as 2.0, 1.4, and 1.2. However, you will only be able to achieve the features supported by the lowest version present in your setup (cable, source, and display).
Do I need special drivers for this cable?
No, this cable is a passive connection device and does not require specific drivers. However, ensure your graphics card and display drivers are up-to-date for optimal compatibility and performance.
What is Display Stream Compression (DSC)?
DSC is a visually lossless compression technology that reduces the bandwidth required to transmit high-resolution video signals. It is essential for achieving resolutions like 16K at 60Hz over standard DisplayPort connections.
Can this cable transmit audio?
Yes, the cable supports the transmission of 32-channel audio, including high-fidelity formats like Dolby True HD.
What does '54G' refer to in the product name?
'54G' refers to the cable's bandwidth capability, which is 54 Gigabits per second, aligning with the UHBR 20 standard of DisplayPort 2.1.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to Lindy's official website or the product packaging for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
No display signal detected
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the source and display devices. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the display. Try a different DisplayPort cable to rule out cable failure. Confirm that the source device is outputting a compatible resolution and refresh rate.
Flickering or intermittent signal
Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the display and source devices are powered adequately. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists. This could indicate interference; try rerouting the cable away from power sources or other electronics.
Low resolution or refresh rate limitations
Verify that both your source and display devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate via DisplayPort 2.1. If aiming for 16K@60Hz, confirm that both devices support DSC. Check your graphics card drivers and operating system display settings for correct configuration.
Audio not working
Ensure that audio output is enabled and set to the DisplayPort connection in your operating system's sound settings. Check that the display device is configured to output audio. Confirm that the cable is fully seated in both ports.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports extremely high resolutions (up to 16K) for future-proof compatibility.
- Includes support for advanced audio formats.
- Robust build with triple shielding for signal stability.
- Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable, long-lasting connections.
- Entry-level solution for high-resolution DisplayPort needs.
Cons
- Achieving 16K resolution requires DSC support on connected devices.
- Best suited for home and small office, may not meet extreme professional demands.
- Limited to 5 meters in available lengths, which might be restrictive for some setups.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both your source device (e.g., graphics card, laptop) and your display device (e.g., monitor, TV) have DisplayPort 2.1 or compatible ports.
- Connect one end of the Lindy Black Line DisplayPort cable to the output port on your source device.
- Connect the other end to the input port on your display device.
- Power on your devices. The display should automatically detect the signal.
- If needed, configure display settings in your operating system or graphics card control panel to select the desired resolution and refresh rate.
Compatibility:
- This cable is compatible with all devices featuring DisplayPort 2.1 ports.
- It is backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions (1.4, 1.2, etc.), though features like 16K resolution will only be available when both devices and the cable support the required DisplayPort version.
- Support for 16K resolution at 60Hz requires Display Stream Compression (DSC) to be supported and enabled on both the source and display devices.
Care:
- Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal damage.
- Keep the cable and connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
- Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
