Description

StarTech DP21-6F-DP40-CABLE 6ft DisplayPort 2.1 Cable

Overview

The StarTech DP21-6F-DP40-CABLE is a 6-foot DisplayPort 2.1 certified cable designed for high-bandwidth video and audio transmission. It supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz with DSC or 4K at 144Hz, making it suitable for demanding visual applications like multi-monitor setups in control rooms or high-fidelity displays for video editing workstations. The 40Gbps UHBR10 data rate ensures smooth, artifact-free video streams and rapid data transfer for graphics-intensive tasks. This cable is VESA certified, guaranteeing compliance with the DisplayPort 2.1 standard.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort 2.1 or earlier output and input. It is ideal for connecting DisplayPort 2.1 graphics cards to DisplayPort 2.1 monitors, or for connecting DisplayPort 1.4 devices to compatible displays. It supports HDCP 2.2 for protected content playback and HDR10 for enhanced color depth and contrast. The 32-channel audio support ensures full audio fidelity for surround sound systems.

Installation Notes

The cable features nickel-plated connectors for improved durability and signal integrity, rated for 10,000 insertion cycles. The TPE jacket material offers flexibility and resistance to wear, while the aluminum-Mylar foil and braid shielding minimize electromagnetic interference, crucial for maintaining signal quality in environments with multiple electronic devices. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
