DisplayPort 2.1 Cable MicroConnect MC-DP-MMG-100V2.1 80Gbps 16K Compatible

MicroConnect MC-DP-MMG-100V2.1 is a DisplayPort 2.1 cable engineered for high-bandwidth video and multi-monitor configurations. With support for up to 80 Gbps throughput and compatibility with 16K displays, the cable is intended for systems that require next-generation resolution, high refresh rates and reliable digital transmission between PCs, graphics cards and monitors. The 1 m length and secure plug design make it suitable for short-run desktop and workstation setups where signal integrity and stable connections are required.

Advantages

The cable supports very high resolutions and refresh rates, including 16K@60Hz, 8K@240Hz and 4K@540Hz, enabled by DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth of up to 80 Gbps. Gold-plated connectors improve contact quality, while the plug-with-lock design reduces accidental disconnection. Built-in support for HDR, HDCP 2.3, Display Stream Compression (DSC) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) ensures compatibility with protected content, compressed high-resolution streams and multi-monitor daisy-chaining. Robust shielding and quality materials contribute to consistent signal transmission and reduced interference.

Suitable for

• High-resolution desktop workstations and professional monitors
• Gaming PCs and graphics cards requiring high refresh rates
• Multi-monitor setups using MST or daisy-chaining
• Video editing, color grading and CAD workflows that demand precise image quality
• Home theater or media playback systems needing HDR and content protection support

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for short-reach connections (1 m) and may not be suitable where longer cable runs are required; signal integrity over longer distances may need active cables or repeaters. Devices that do not implement DisplayPort 2.1 features will fall back to the highest mutually supported mode, so some advertised refresh rates or resolutions may not be achievable with older graphics cards or displays.

Key specifications

• Interface: DisplayPort 2.1
• Maximum bandwidth: 80 Gbps
• Supported resolutions/refresh rates: 16K@60Hz, 8K@240Hz, 4K@540Hz
• HDR support and HDCP 2.3 compatibility
• Compression and multi-stream: DSC and MST support
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Connector retention: plug-with-lock mechanism
• Cable length: 1 m
• Shielding: multi-layer shielding for interference reduction

How to use

Connect one end of the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort output on your graphics card or source device and the other end to the DisplayPort input on your monitor. Ensure the plug-with-lock engages to secure the connection. Configure display settings in your operating system or GPU control panel to select the desired resolution, refresh rate and HDR options. If using multiple monitors with MST, connect the monitors in the intended daisy-chain order and enable multi-stream transport in the source device if required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both source and display support DisplayPort 2.1 or the required features (DSC, HDCP 2.3, HDR) to achieve advertised performance.
• Verify 1 m cable length is sufficient for your setup; longer runs may require active cables or signal extenders.
• Check your graphics card and monitor firmware/drivers to ensure compatibility with high refresh rates and resolutions.
• Consider whether MST (daisy-chaining) is supported by your monitors if you plan multi-monitor setups.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this DisplayPort 2.1 cable for direct connections between a DisplayPort 2.1-capable GPU and a compatible monitor at short distances (around 1 m). Keep connectors and ports free of dust, and secure the plug to avoid accidental disconnection. When aiming for the highest resolutions or refresh rates, ensure device firmware and GPU drivers are up to date and enable DSC or HDR features as necessary in display settings.
