DisplayPort cable GOOBAY RB75680 — DisplayPort to DisplayPort, 2 m, Black

The Goobay Plus DisplayPort cable in Sharkskin Grey is a 2 m DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort lead designed to connect DisplayPort-equipped PCs, laptops and monitors. It supports the DisplayPort 2.1 standard with ultra-high image resolution and high data throughput to deliver sharp images, improved HDR performance and deep colour depth for gaming and home entertainment setups.

Advantages

This cable supports up to 10K @ 60 Hz or Ultrawide 8K @ 120 Hz (uncompressed) and offers very high data rates via UHBR13.5 for better HDR and colour reproduction. It is built for high refresh rates to reduce judder, supports multi-monitor daisy-chaining and carries high-resolution audio formats. The metal-shelled connector and slim design provide a durable yet elegant connection between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop to a high-resolution monitor or projector
• High-refresh-rate gaming where low latency and smooth frames are required
• Multi-monitor setups using DisplayPort daisy-chaining
• High-definition streaming and virtual reality systems

When it may not be suitable

This cable requires DisplayPort 2.1-compatible source and display devices to achieve the maximum resolutions and refresh rates; with older DisplayPort versions the available bandwidth and features will be limited. It is not a video adapter for other connector types — a DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DVI converter is needed for non-DisplayPort displays.

Key specifications

• Connector: DisplayPort (male) to DisplayPort (male)
• Standard: DisplayPort 2.1
• Maximum resolution/refresh: up to 10K @ 60 Hz; Ultrawide 8K @ 120 Hz (4320p)
• Maximum data rate: up to 54 Gbit/s (UHBR13.5)
• Support for HDR, DSC (Display Stream Compression) and HDCP 2.2
• Supports FreeSync and G-Sync, Dynamic HDR and up to 32 audio channels
• Cable length: 2 m
• Colour: Black (Sharkskin Grey metal housing)

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the DisplayPort output of your computer or laptop and the other end to the DisplayPort input of your monitor or projector. Ensure both devices support the desired DisplayPort version and set the display resolution and refresh rate in your graphics driver or monitor menu. For multi-monitor daisy-chaining, enable Multi-Stream Transport (MST) on the source and compatible monitors and connect sequentially.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your source and display devices support DisplayPort 2.1 to use the highest resolutions and refresh rates.
• Check whether your setup requires a different connector type or an active adapter for non-DisplayPort displays.
• Confirm cable length (2 m) suits your setup and routing requirements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with DisplayPort 2.1-capable graphics cards and monitors, enable DSC where supported for higher-resolution multi-monitor configurations, and set refresh rates through your graphics driver to match monitor capabilities.
