Description

StarTech 8K-AOC-40M-DP-CABLE 40m Hybrid AOC DisplayPort Cable

Overview

The StarTech 8K-AOC-40M-DP-CABLE is a 40-meter (131.2 ft) hybrid active optical DisplayPort 1.4 cable designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth video transmission. Its CMP plenum rating makes it suitable for in-wall installations within commercial buildings where fire safety codes require specific cable jacketing. This cable supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, making it ideal for connecting high-resolution displays, projectors, or video walls in conference rooms, digital signage, or command centers where signal integrity over extended distances is critical. The 32.4Gbps bandwidth ensures uncompressed video signals are delivered without degradation.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard DisplayPort 1.4 output and input, including professional workstations, high-end graphics cards, and 8K-capable monitors or projectors. It supports HDCP 2.3 content protection, ensuring compatibility with protected media streams. The 32-channel audio support allows for multi-channel surround sound transmission alongside video.

Installation Notes

The cable is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the DisplayPort source device, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. The maximum operating temperature is 40°C (104°F), so ensure proper ventilation in enclosed spaces. The cable OD is 4.8mm, allowing for installation in conduits or tight spaces. Connectors are straight-style with gold plating for reliable signal transfer.
