DisplayPort 1.4 cable ACT AK4070 — 8K support, 0.5 m

ACT DisplayPort 1.4 cable AK4070 is a 0.5 m video interface cable engineered to support DisplayPort 1.4 features and up to 8K resolution. Its short length and DisplayPort connectors make it suitable for connecting desktops, laptops and compatible monitors or GPUs where a reliable, high-bandwidth link is required. The cable carries both video and audio signals and is intended for use in multi-monitor, gaming and professional graphics environments that require high-resolution, high-refresh-rate output.

Advantages

The cable supports DisplayPort 1.4 feature set, enabling transmission of high-resolution video up to 8K and wide color depths when paired with compatible devices. At 0.5 m length it minimizes signal loss and clutter for close-proximity connections. Its compact design is convenient for desktop setups, docking stations and GPU-to-monitor links where short, direct cabling reduces tension on connectors and improves cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop to a DisplayPort-equipped monitor at short distances
• GPU-to-monitor connections in gaming rigs requiring high bandwidth
• Professional graphics and video workflows that use high-resolution displays
• Desk setups and docking stations where a short cable reduces clutter

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m cable is not intended for long-distance runs; for displays positioned far from the source, a longer DisplayPort cable or an active cable with signal boosting may be required. It will deliver full capabilities only when used with devices that support DisplayPort 1.4 and the necessary display modes; older DisplayPort versions or incompatible hardware may limit resolution, refresh rate or color depth.

Key specifications

• Interface: DisplayPort 1.4 compatible connector
• Maximum supported resolution: up to 8K (when used with compatible source and display)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Signal types: digital video and audio
• Typical use: short-range, high-bandwidth video connections

How to use

Connect one end of the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort output on the computer or GPU and the other end to the DisplayPort input on the monitor. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use the DisplayPort input in the monitor menu and the operating system display settings. For maximum resolution and refresh rate, verify that the source device and monitor both support DisplayPort 1.4 and configure the display mode (resolution, refresh rate, color format) accordingly in graphics driver settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both source and display support DisplayPort 1.4 features required for 8K output
• Assess required cable length; 0.5 m is suitable for close-proximity connections only
• Check GPU and monitor ports to ensure DisplayPort compatibility

Usage recommendations

Use this short DisplayPort 1.4 cable for clean desktop routing between a GPU or laptop docking station and a nearby monitor to achieve high-resolution, low-latency video. For long-distance runs or installations requiring signal extension, select an appropriate longer or active DisplayPort cable.
