FAQs

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

This DisplayPort 1.4 cable supports resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 @ 60Hz (8-bit, 4:2:2) and 4096 x 2160 @ 144Hz (10-bit, 4:2:2). The actual performance depends on your connected devices.

Is this cable compatible with older DisplayPort versions?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions (1.3, 1.2, etc.). However, the data transfer rate and supported features will be limited by the lowest version supported by your connected devices.

Why is the cable described as 'slim'?

The 'slim' designation refers to the cable's smaller diameter and the compact, low-profile design of its connectors, making it easier to install in tight spaces where standard connectors might not fit well.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Lindy typically offers a 10-year warranty on this product line.

Can I use this cable for both video and audio?

Yes, DisplayPort cables transmit both high-definition video and multi-channel audio signals.

What does '30AWG' refer to in the cable specifications?

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker conductor, which generally results in better signal transmission. 30AWG is a standard gauge for DisplayPort cables, suitable for the specified resolutions and lengths.

How do I care for the gold-plated connectors?

To maintain optimal conductivity and prevent corrosion, periodically clean the gold-plated connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid touching the pins directly with your fingers.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent signal

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the source and display ports. Try a different DisplayPort on your devices. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your display. Test with a different DisplayPort cable if available.

Lower resolution or refresh rate than expected

Confirm that both your graphics card/source device and your monitor support the desired resolution and refresh rate via DisplayPort 1.4. Check your graphics card drivers are up to date. Ensure the DisplayPort cable settings on your monitor are configured correctly.

Flickering or visual artifacts

This can indicate a weak signal. Ensure the cable is fully seated. Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. If possible, test with a shorter or higher-quality shielded cable to rule out cable issues. Ensure the source device is not overheating.

Audio dropouts or no audio

Verify that DisplayPort audio is enabled in your operating system's sound settings. Ensure the cable is securely connected, as audio is transmitted over the same cable. Restart your computer and display.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., graphics card, laptop) and display device (e.g., monitor, TV) have DisplayPort 1.4 or compatible ports.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the DisplayPort output on your source device.
  3. Connect the other end to the DisplayPort input on your display device.
  4. The cable is plug-and-play; no additional drivers are typically required.

Compatibility:

  • DisplayPort Versions: Backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.3, 1.2, and earlier versions, though performance will be limited to the capabilities of the lowest version in the chain.
  • Resolutions & Refresh Rates: Supports up to 7680 x 4320 @ 60Hz (8-bit color, 4:2:2 subsampling) and 4096 x 2160 @ 144Hz (10-bit color, 4:2:2 subsampling). Check your specific source and display device specifications for maximum supported configurations.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems that support DisplayPort output.

Care:

  • Cleaning Connectors: Gently clean the gold-plated connector pins with a dry, lint-free cloth if dust or debris is present. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
  • Cable Management: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable to prevent internal damage. Use cable ties or organizers for neatness.
  • Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Environmental: Designed for operation between 10°C and 80°C.
