Product Information

Full details

This Digitus DisplayPort Connection Cable is designed for users requiring a reliable link between their PC or notebook and a DisplayPort-enabled monitor. It offers a stable connection for high-definition audio and video, ideal for demanding visual tasks. A potential consideration is its DisplayPort 1.1a version, which might not support the very latest high-bandwidth features compared to newer standards. Key features include a 5-meter length, nickel-plated connectors, and support for Full HD 1080p resolutions.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?

This Digitus DisplayPort cable supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD 1080p) at 60Hz.

Does this cable support audio transmission?

Yes, it supports various audio formats including DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, and DTS-HD, provided both the source and display devices are capable of transmitting and receiving them.

What does 'w/interlock' mean on the connector?

'w/interlock' refers to a locking mechanism on the DisplayPort connector. This feature helps to secure the cable in place, preventing it from accidentally becoming disconnected.

Is this cable compatible with 4K monitors?

This cable uses the DisplayPort 1.1a standard and supports up to 1080p resolution. It is not designed for or guaranteed to work with 4K resolutions, which typically require newer DisplayPort standards (1.2 or higher).

Can I use this cable with a laptop that has an HDMI port?

No, this is a DisplayPort cable. If your laptop only has an HDMI port, you would need an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter or a different type of cable (like an HDMI cable) for connection to a DisplayPort monitor, or vice-versa.

What is the cable material?

The cable is constructed with AWG 28 copper wire for signal transmission.

How do I ensure a secure connection?

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the DisplayPort ports on both your computer and monitor. If the connector has a locking clip, gently press it to engage the clip into the corresponding slot on the port for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

No display signal detected

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the source device and the display. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Try a different DisplayPort cable to rule out a cable defect. Restart both the computer and the monitor.

Flickering or intermittent signal

Check the physical connection for looseness; engage the locking mechanism if present. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Test with a shorter or different cable to see if the length or condition of the current cable is the issue. Update graphics card drivers on your computer.

Audio not working

Confirm that both the source device and the display support audio over DisplayPort. Check the audio output settings in your operating system and ensure DisplayPort audio is selected as the default output. Make sure the cable is fully seated in both ports.

Lower than expected resolution or refresh rate

Verify that your graphics card and monitor both support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the display settings in your operating system are configured correctly. Note that this cable supports DisplayPort 1.1a and 1080p resolution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure connection with its interlocking DisplayPort connector.
  • Supports both high-definition video (1080p) and a variety of audio formats.
  • The 5-meter cable length offers flexibility in device placement.
  • Suitable for graphics-intensive applications like CAD and 3D modeling.

Cons

  • Uses DisplayPort 1.1a, which may limit support for very high refresh rates or resolutions found in newer standards.
  • Does not support resolutions beyond 1080p, potentially limiting use with 4K monitors.
  • Audio support is extensive but dependent on the source and display capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Digitus DisplayPort Connection Cable, ensure both your source device (PC, notebook) and your display (monitor, projector) have standard DisplayPort inputs. Connect one end of the cable to the DisplayPort output on your source device and the other end to the DisplayPort input on your display. If your DisplayPort connectors have a locking mechanism, gently press the release button on the connector before inserting or removing the cable to avoid damaging the port. Once connected, your system should automatically detect the display. You may need to select the correct input source on your monitor via its on-screen display (OSD) menu.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard DisplayPort output and input. It adheres to the DisplayPort 1.1a standard, ensuring compatibility with most PCs, notebooks, and monitors that support this version. It supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz and 3D video, along with various audio formats. It is not compatible with devices that only have HDMI or DVI ports unless an appropriate adapter is used (sold separately).

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the cable, avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling. Keep the connectors clean; if necessary, use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them. Ensure the cable is unplugged from both devices before cleaning or moving it. Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably coiled loosely to avoid stressing the internal wires.
