Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 7.5m Active DisplayPort 1.4 Cable is designed for users needing to extend DisplayPort connections over longer distances than standard passive cables allow. Its key benefit is providing reliable, high-resolution video transmission up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz without signal degradation, ideal for digital signage or large display setups. A potential caveat is that its active nature means it relies on the DisplayPort source for power, though this is standard for active cables.

FAQs

What is an 'Active' DisplayPort cable?

An active DisplayPort cable contains a chipset within the connector that amplifies the DisplayPort signal. This allows the signal to travel further and maintain its integrity over longer distances compared to standard passive cables.

Does this cable require external power?

No, the active chipset is powered directly by the DisplayPort connection from the source device. Ensure your source device provides adequate power.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

This DisplayPort 1.4 cable supports resolutions up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz, with a maximum data transfer rate of 32.4 Gbit/s.

Can I use this cable with older DisplayPort versions?

Yes, this cable is backward compatible with previous DisplayPort versions, although you will be limited by the capabilities of the older standard.

Is the cable suitable for routing through walls?

Yes, the high-quality, flexible PVC jacket and active signal boosting make it suitable for installations behind walls or through conduits for a discreet setup.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

The cable comes with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer.

How does HDR support benefit my viewing experience?

HDR support enhances your viewing experience by providing greater brightness, a wider range of colors, and improved contrast ratios, resulting in more lifelike and dynamic images.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent signal

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify that the source device's DisplayPort output supports sufficient power for active cables. Try connecting directly between the source and display without passing through any switch or extender. Test with a different DisplayPort source or display if possible.

Incorrect resolution or refresh rate displayed

Check that your graphics card and display both support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the DisplayPort version on your source device is compatible with the cable's 1.4 capabilities. Update your graphics drivers to the latest version.

Flickering or visual artifacts

This can indicate a weak signal. Confirm the cable is not damaged and is fully seated. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to sources of electromagnetic interference. Try a shorter active cable if the distance is borderline for signal integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables DisplayPort connections over significantly longer distances than passive cables.
  • Supports high resolutions (up to 8K@60Hz) and refresh rates (up to 4K@144Hz) with excellent clarity.
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR) support provides a superior visual experience with better color and contrast.
  • Integrated active chipset eliminates the need for separate signal boosters or extenders.
  • Flexible cable and stylish connector design facilitate clean and discreet installations.

Cons

  • Requires a DisplayPort source that provides sufficient power to the active chipset.
  • May be more expensive than standard passive DisplayPort cables.
  • Active cables can sometimes be less tolerant of extreme temperature fluctuations compared to passive ones.
  • Limited to DisplayPort connections; not compatible with HDMI or other video standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the male DisplayPort connector from the source device (e.g., PC, laptop) to the female DisplayPort input on the display device (e.g., monitor, projector). Ensure both devices are powered on. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional drivers or software.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort output and input. It supports DisplayPort version 1.4, but is also backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions. Ensure your source device outputs enough power via the DisplayPort connection to support active cable functionality. It is ideal for connecting PCs to commercial displays and monitors.

Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Operating temperature is -10°C to 80°C, and storage temperature is -20°C to 85°C.
