Description

StarTech DP21V-2M-DP80-CABLE DP 2.1 Cable

Overview

The StarTech DP21V-2M-DP80-CABLE is a 2-meter (6.6 ft) DisplayPort 2.1 certified cable designed to deliver the full bandwidth of UHBR20 (Ultra High Bit Rate 20) enabled devices. This cable ensures you can leverage the maximum capabilities of next-generation displays and graphics cards, supporting resolutions up to 16K with DSC, making it ideal for high-density video walls, professional workstations, and demanding simulation environments where maximum visual fidelity and refresh rates are critical. The DP80 specification guarantees 80Gbps of throughput, essential for uncompressed 8K or high-refresh-rate 4K content.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for full compatibility with all DisplayPort 2.1 certified devices. This includes modern graphics cards from NVIDIA (GeForce RTX 40 Series and newer) and AMD (Radeon RX 7000 Series and newer), as well as UHBR20-enabled monitors and docking stations. It is backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.4 and earlier specifications, though it will operate at the lower bandwidth of the connected devices.

Installation Notes

The cable features straight connectors on both ends for straightforward plug-and-play installation. Its 8.2 mm (0.3 in) outer diameter and TPE jacket offer flexibility and durability. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). The cable is shielded with aluminum-Mylar foil and braid for robust signal integrity, minimizing electromagnetic interference in dense AV or IT rack environments.
