StarTech DP21-6F-DP40-CABLE VESA-CERTIFIED DISPLAYPORT 2.1 CABLE 6FT
Connect an 8K/4K UHD DisplayPort monitor to a host computer or MST hub, using this VESA-Certified DisplayPort 2.1 DP40 Cable. This cable facilitates high bandwidth video and multi-channel audio and is ideal for 8K workstations, high performance GPUs, and dedicated AV applications including media production and content creation.
This DP 2.1 Cable is constructed with braided aluminum mylar shielding to minimize EMI for clear, consistent audio/video output and long-term reliable performance.
Seamless Compatibility
For seamless operation between DisplayPort-enabled devices, the DisplayPort 2.1 Cable is VESA Certified for guaranteed DP 2.1 and backward compatibility (DP 2.0/1.4/1.2). It supports G-Sync and FreeSync, enhancing Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) performance for optimal picture quality between high-capacity GPUs and supported displays.
Durable Design
This DisplayPort cable features a flexible TPE outer jacket that is tested to withstand 600 bending cycles at -/+60 degrees, and routes easily around corners and desk edges. Robust strain reliefs enable convenient positioning of the cable, and latching nickel-plated DP connectors attach securely to prevent accidental disconnection. The connectors are rated to operate beyond 10,000 insertions.
- Resolutions up to 8K 60Hz w/DSC, using a compatible DP source and display
- UHBR10 supports high refresh rates including 4K 144Hz and 1440p 240Hz
- High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.2 for a secure connection between source and display
- High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR10) for higher contrast ratio and vibrant picture quality
- Display Stream Compression (DSC) 1.2a for maximum resolution output
- Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for daisy-chaining multiple monitors
- 32 Uncompressed Digital Audio Channels
- Backward compatible with previous DP versions
