Description

StarTech DP21-3F-DP40-CABLE 3ft DisplayPort 2.1 Cable

Overview

This 3-foot StarTech DP21-3F-DP40-CABLE is a VESA Certified DP40 cable engineered for high-resolution, high-refresh-rate video transmission. It supports the latest DisplayPort 2.1 standard, delivering up to 40Gbps bandwidth via UHBR10, making it suitable for demanding workstation setups, multi-monitor configurations, or connecting high-performance displays to security recorders or workstations. The cable features a durable TPE jacket and robust aluminum-mylar foil with braid shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity for 8K 60Hz video with DSC or 4K 144Hz refresh rates.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any host device and display featuring DisplayPort 2.1 or earlier ports. It supports MST (Multi-Stream Transport) for daisy-chaining multiple monitors and HDCP 2.2 for protected content playback. It is suitable for connecting to DisplayPort outputs on graphics cards, laptops, or NVR/DVR systems to DisplayPort inputs on monitors, projectors, or KVM switches.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) and requires 10% to 85% RH humidity. The 30 AWG wire gauge ensures reliable signal transmission over its 3-foot length. Nickel-plated connectors provide durable, corrosion-resistant connections.
