Description

StarTech DP14A-15M-DP-CABLE Active DisplayPort 1.4 Cable

Overview

The StarTech DP14A-15M-DP-CABLE is a 15.2-meter (50-foot) active DisplayPort 1.4 cable designed to deliver high-resolution video and audio signals over extended distances without signal degradation. This cable is essential for connecting DisplayPort sources to displays in large conference rooms, auditoriums, or digital signage installations where standard passive cables fall short. Its active chipset ensures signal integrity, supporting demanding resolutions and refresh rates for professional AV and surveillance applications. The DP14A-15M-DP-CABLE model utilizes a built-in chipset to boost the signal, enabling reliable transmission up to 8K resolution.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort output, including graphics cards, laptops, and media players, and any display with a DisplayPort input. It supports DisplayPort 1.4 and backward compatibility with DisplayPort 1.2. It is suitable for connecting to monitors, projectors, and video walls that support the required resolutions and refresh rates. The cable's active nature makes it ideal for extending connections beyond the typical 3-meter limit of passive DP cables, ensuring compatibility with systems requiring HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3) for maximum bandwidth.

Installation Notes

The cable features latching DisplayPort connectors to prevent accidental disconnection, ensuring a stable link. The TPE jacket material offers flexibility and durability for installation in various environments. The cable's operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The wire gauge is 24/28 AWG, and the cable OD is 7.5 mm. The integrated SPECTRA7 VR8300B0-C-R chipset requires no external power source, drawing power directly from the DisplayPort connection.
