Description

StarTech DP21V-5F-DP80-CABLE DisplayPort 2.1 Cable

Overview

The StarTech DP21V-5F-DP80-CABLE is a 5-foot DisplayPort 2.1 certified cable engineered to deliver the full bandwidth of UHBR20 (80Gbps) connections. This cable is essential for driving next-generation displays and devices that require maximum data throughput for ultra-high resolutions and refresh rates, such as high-density video walls, professional workstations, or advanced simulation environments. Its construction ensures signal integrity for demanding visual applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any DisplayPort 2.1 source device and display, including UHBR20-enabled graphics cards, monitors, and docking stations. It supports the full range of DisplayPort 2.1 features, including up to 10K resolution at 60Hz or 8K at 60Hz without compression, and significantly higher resolutions and refresh rates when using Display Stream Compression (DSC), such as 16K at 60Hz or 10K at 144Hz. It also supports 32 audio channels, ensuring full audio-visual synchronization.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from TPE material for flexibility and durability in typical office or workstation environments. The internal shielding, consisting of aluminum-mylar foil with a braid, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), with storage temperatures from -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). Humidity tolerance is 10% to 85% RH.
