Description

StarTech DPEXT6L DisplayPort Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech DPEXT6L is a 6-foot male-to-female DisplayPort extension cable designed to overcome the distance limitations of standard DisplayPort cables. This cable is essential for connecting monitors, projectors, or other DisplayPort-enabled devices in scenarios where the source device is positioned further away, such as in conference rooms, digital signage deployments, or complex workstation setups. Its construction supports high resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring signal integrity for demanding visual applications. The DPEXT6L model is built to provide a reliable extension for your DisplayPort signal path.

Compatibility

This extension cable is compatible with any standard DisplayPort source device (e.g., graphics cards, laptops) and DisplayPort display (e.g., monitors, projectors). It supports DisplayPort 1.2 specifications, enabling resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate. It also supports 8-channel audio, allowing for integrated audio transmission over the same cable. The 21.6 Gbps bandwidth capacity ensures that high-definition video and audio signals are transmitted without degradation.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CMG (CM) fire rating, suitable for in-wall installations where permitted by local building codes. It utilizes 28 AWG wire construction for reliable signal transmission. The connector plating is gold, which helps prevent corrosion and ensures consistent electrical contact. The cable jacket is made of durable PVC, and the internal shielding consists of an aluminum-mylar foil with a braid to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal loss. Operating temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C.
