DisplayPort cable Lindy 36516 — DisplayPort to DisplayPort, 1 m, black, 7 mm diameter

Lindy 36516 is a 1 m DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable in black with a 7 mm cable diameter. Designed within Lindy’s Lines cable connectivity concept as part of the Black Line, this DisplayPort 2.1 cable provides a compact, fully featured solution for connecting monitors, displays and graphics sources over short distances in home and small office environments. The cable uses triple-shielded construction with 28AWG bare copper conductors, nickel connector housings and 24K gold plated contacts to preserve signal integrity and resist corrosion. It is supplied in a polybag and meets RoHS, REACH and UL compliance.

Advantages

The cable supports very high resolutions and refresh rates by leveraging DisplayPort 2.1 and Display Stream Compression (DSC), enabling UHD signals up to 15360 x 8640 (16K) at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and 10-bit color where DSC is used. It can carry multi-channel audio including 32-channel formats and Dolby TrueHD. The combination of triple shielding and 28AWG copper conductors reduces interference and maintains consistent performance, while nickel housings and gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and reliable mating with DisplayPort ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or graphics sources to high-resolution monitors and displays
• Short-distance video setups in home offices, small studios or meeting rooms
• High-resolution content playback and multi-channel audio transmission

How to use

Connect one DisplayPort connector to the DisplayPort output on your computer, graphics card or source device and the other connector to the DisplayPort input on the monitor or display. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the locking latch (if present on the display or source) engages. For optimal performance at very high resolutions and refresh rates, use compatible DisplayPort 2.1 source and display hardware and enable DSC in device settings if required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it alongside high-power electrical cables to minimise interference.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify that both the source and display support DisplayPort 2.1 and DSC to achieve maximum bandwidth and resolution. Keep cable length short (1 m) for optimal signal integrity in high-resolution setups, and inspect connectors periodically for damage or contamination. Store the cable in a cool, dry place and avoid excessive twisting or tensile stress on the connectors.
