Extended Product Information

FAQs

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

This cable supports resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 pixels (8K) at 60 Hz and can support up to 120 Hz at lower resolutions like 4K, provided both your source and display devices are compatible with these specifications.

Is this cable backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions (e.g., 1.2, 1.3). However, to utilize the full 8K resolution and high refresh rate capabilities, both your source and display devices must support DisplayPort 1.4.

Can this cable transmit audio?

Yes, the DisplayPort standard inherently supports digital audio transmission alongside video. This cable will transmit multi-channel audio.

What does HDCP and DPCP support mean for me?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) are copy protection technologies. Their support ensures you can view protected content, such as Blu-ray movies or streaming services, without playback issues.

How do I know if my devices are compatible with DisplayPort 1.4?

Refer to the specifications or user manual for your graphics card, laptop, monitor, or projector. Look for mentions of DisplayPort 1.4 support for resolution, refresh rate, and bandwidth capabilities.

Can I use this cable to connect a DisplayPort device to an HDMI port?

No, this cable is designed exclusively for DisplayPort to DisplayPort connections. You would need a separate DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable for such a conversion.

What is the purpose of the gold-plated contacts and double shielding?

Gold-plated contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a stable signal. Double shielding protects the cable's internal wires from electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain signal integrity and prevent performance issues.

Troubleshooting

No signal on display

Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the source and display. Verify that the display input is set to the correct DisplayPort source. Try a different DisplayPort cable to rule out cable failure. Confirm both devices support DisplayPort connectivity.

Low resolution or flickering display

Check that the connected devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the DisplayPort version (1.4 recommended) is supported by both devices. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your display settings. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are secure.

Audio not working

Verify that the DisplayPort output on your source device is configured to send audio. Check the audio output settings in your operating system and ensure the DisplayPort output is selected. Test with another audio source or display if possible.

Intermittent connection or signal loss

Inspect the cable for visible damage. Ensure connectors are clean and firmly seated. Try a shorter, known-good cable to test for signal degradation over the 3-meter length. Reduce cable length if possible or ensure it's not routed near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rates.
  • High data transfer rate (32.4 Gbit/s) suitable for demanding applications.
  • Includes HDCP and DPCP for secure content transmission.
  • Gold-plated connectors and double shielding ensure signal integrity.
  • Plug and Play functionality for easy setup.

Cons

  • Requires compatible DisplayPort 1.4 ports on both source and display devices for full functionality.
  • Primarily designed for digital audio and video signals; not compatible with other connection types like HDMI or DVI without an adapter.
  • The 3-meter length may be too long or too short depending on specific user setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., laptop, graphics card) and your display device (e.g., monitor, projector) have compatible DisplayPort outputs and inputs.
  2. Connect the male DisplayPort end of the cable firmly into the DisplayPort output port on your source device.
  3. Connect the other male DisplayPort end of the cable firmly into the DisplayPort input port on your display device.
  4. Power on your devices. The connection should be recognized automatically (Plug and Play).

Compatibility:

  • DisplayPort Version: Supports DisplayPort 1.4. Ensure your source and display devices support DisplayPort 1.4 for maximum bandwidth and features. It is backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions but may not support the highest resolutions or refresh rates.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with all major operating systems that support DisplayPort, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Audio and Video: Transmits both digital video and multi-channel audio signals.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply or coil it too tightly.
  • Keep the connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them if necessary.
  • When disconnecting, pull the cable by the connector, not by the cable itself, to avoid damaging the connections.
