Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star DisplayPort V1.2 cable is an essential accessory for PC users and professionals looking to achieve reliable 4K video output and high-quality audio transmission. It serves as a superior, modern alternative to legacy VGA or DVI standards, making it ideal for connecting desktop towers to high-resolution monitors. While it provides excellent signal stability and a secure physical connection, users should note that its 1-meter length limits connectivity to devices positioned in close proximity to one another.

FAQs
Does this cable support audio?

Can I use this with a VGA monitor using an adapter?
Yes, however, please ensure you are using an active DisplayPort to VGA adapter for proper signal conversion.
Is this cable compatible with G-Sync or FreeSync?
Yes, the DisplayPort 1.2 standard supports adaptive sync technologies provided your monitor and graphics card also support them.
What is the maximum refresh rate at 4K resolution?
This cable supports 4K resolution at a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz.
Is the cable shielded against interference?
Yes, it is fully shielded to minimize external electromagnetic interference.
Can I daisy chain monitors with this cable?
Yes, if your monitors support DisplayPort MST (Multi-Stream Transport), you can connect multiple displays in a sequence.
Troubleshooting
No signal on monitor
Ensure the cable is fully seated in both ports and check that the monitor input is set to the correct DisplayPort source.
Screen flickering or intermittent connection
Disconnect and reconnect the cable to ensure the pins are making full contact; check that the cable is not bent at an extreme angle.
Cannot remove the cable from the monitor
Verify that you are pressing the release buttons on the connector casing to disengage the latch before pulling the plug out.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure latching mechanism prevents cable pull-out
- Supports high-resolution 4K at 60Hz
- Gold-flashed contacts ensure reliable signal quality
- Effective shielding reduces background interference
- Simple plug-and-play installation
Cons
- Fixed 1-meter length restricts distance between devices
- Not suitable for cable runs through walls or large desks
- DisplayPort v1.2 lacks support for ultra-high refresh rates found in newer v1.4 standards
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your connection, ensure that both your graphics card and your monitor possess standard DisplayPort receptacles. Carefully insert the connector until you hear the latch click into place. To remove, depress the buttons on the sides of the connector housing before pulling gently; never pull the cable by the cord itself. To maintain the cable, store it without sharp bends or heavy items placed on top of it, as this can damage the internal shielding. Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe the connector pins if you notice debris, but avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
