Product Information
Full details
The Lindy DisplayPort 1.4 Repeater is an active solution for IT professionals and AV installers needing to extend high-quality DisplayPort signals over significant distances without signal degradation. Its key benefit is enabling 8K resolutions up to 10m or 4K up to 20m, ensuring uncompromised visual fidelity. A potential caveat is the need for supplementary USB-C power for optimal performance in demanding setups. This repeater amplifies DisplayPort 1.4 signals, supports HDR10+, and offers Plug and Play installation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum distance the Lindy DisplayPort 1.4 Repeater can extend signals?
The repeater can extend DisplayPort 1.4 signals up to 10 meters for 8K@60Hz resolution and up to 20 meters for 4K@60Hz resolution. The maximum theoretical transfer distance mentioned in specifications (40m) refers to aggregated capabilities under certain conditions, but practical limits for 8K/4K are as stated.
Do I need to install any drivers for this repeater?
No, the Lindy DisplayPort 1.4 Repeater is a Plug and Play device. No drivers or software installation are required.
Does this repeater support HDR?
Yes, the repeater supports High Dynamic Range (HDR10+), providing enhanced contrast and color depth for compatible content and displays.
Can I use this repeater with older DisplayPort versions?
While it is designed for DisplayPort 1.4, it is generally backward compatible with older DisplayPort versions (like 1.2), but performance will be limited by the capabilities of the older standard.
How does the USB-C power input work?
The USB-C port allows you to connect an external power source (like a USB power adapter or a USB port on a computer) if the DisplayPort connection alone does not provide enough power for stable operation over extended distances or high resolutions. It ensures consistent signal amplification.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy DisplayPort 1.4 Repeater comes with a 2-year warranty.
What resolution and refresh rate can it support at 20 meters?
At a maximum transfer distance of 20 meters, the repeater supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 (4K) at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 12-bit color depth.
Troubleshooting
No signal or intermittent signal
Ensure the DisplayPort cables are securely connected at both ends. Try connecting the USB-C power cable to a reliable USB power source. Test with shorter, known-good DisplayPort cables. Verify source and display are configured for the correct resolution and refresh rate.
Lower than expected resolution or refresh rate
Confirm that both your source device and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the total cable length (source to repeater + repeater to display) does not exceed the specifications for the chosen resolution (e.g., 10m for 8K, 20m for 4K). Connect the USB-C power for maximum signal integrity.
Flickering or visual artifacts
This can be due to signal degradation over long cable runs. Connect the USB-C power to the repeater. Try using higher quality, certified DisplayPort cables. Reduce the cable length if possible or test with shorter segments.
Repeater not powering on (if applicable via USB-C)
Ensure the USB-C cable is correctly connected to both the repeater and a powered USB port or adapter. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends DisplayPort 1.4 signals up to 20 meters without signal loss.
- Supports high resolutions including 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 144Hz.
- HDR10+ support provides enhanced color depth and contrast.
- USB-C power input offers flexibility and ensures stable performance.
- Simple Plug and Play installation requires no additional drivers.
- Durable aluminum construction promotes longevity.
Cons
- Maximum transfer distance for 8K is 10m, not the full 20m capability for 4K.
- May require supplementary USB-C power for optimal performance, adding an extra cable.
- Limited to 1 DisplayPort input and 1 output.
- Bandwidth is capped at 32.4 Gbit/s, which is standard for DP 1.4 but may not support future higher bandwidth requirements.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect a standard DisplayPort cable from your source device (e.g., graphics card, laptop) to the DisplayPort input port on the repeater.
- Connect another DisplayPort cable from the DisplayPort output port on the repeater to your display device (e.g., monitor, projector).
- For optimal performance, especially with longer cables or high resolutions, connect the included USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable from the repeater's USB-C port to a USB power source.
Compatibility:
- Source Devices: Compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort output, including graphics cards and laptops supporting DisplayPort 1.4.
- Display Devices: Compatible with any display featuring a DisplayPort input.
- Operating Systems: No specific OS drivers are required; functions as a transparent signal extender.
- Cables: Requires standard DisplayPort cables for source-to-repeater and repeater-to-display connections. The included cable is USB Type-A to USB Type-C for power.
Care:
- Keep the repeater in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
- Clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure but not overly stressed.
- Store within the recommended operating temperature range of 5°C to 50°C.
