The MicroConnect MC-DP-MMG-200V2.1 is a DisplayPort 2.1 video cable engineered for high-bandwidth video transmission up to 80 Gbps. It is compatible with 16K displays and supports high refresh rates and advanced features such as HDR, HDCP 2.3, Display Stream Compression (DSC) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST). With gold-plated connectors and a locking plug, the cable is intended for reliable connections between PCs, laptops, graphics cards and modern monitors in professional and gaming environments.
Advantages
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers very high bandwidth (up to 80 Gbps) to enable 16K@60Hz, 8K@240Hz and high-refresh 4K resolutions while preserving color fidelity and dynamic range through HDR support and HDCP 2.3 compliance. Gold-plated connectors and a locking plug improve contact reliability and reduce connection-related signal loss. Support for DSC and MST makes the cable suitable for multi-display setups and bandwidth-efficient transmission.
Suitable for
- High-resolution workstations and professional color grading setups
- Gaming PCs and consoles that require high refresh rates and low latency
- Connecting modern monitors and future-proof displays (up to 16K)
- Multi-monitor configurations using MST
When it may not be suitable
This cable is intended for devices that implement DisplayPort 2.1 features. It may not provide benefits when used with older hardware limited to DisplayPort 1.4 or earlier, or with devices that do not support DSC, MST, or the higher HDCP version. For short-distance, basic 1080p or 4K@60Hz uses, a lower-specification cable may be adequate and more cost-effective.
Key specifications
- Maximum bandwidth: 80 Gbps
- Supported resolutions and refresh rates: up to 16K@60Hz, 8K@240Hz, 4K@540Hz (with device support)
- Connector features: locking plug and gold-plated contacts
- Supported protocols and technologies: HDR, HDCP 2.3, Display Stream Compression (DSC), Multi-Stream Transport (MST)
- Cable length: 2 m
How to use
Connect one end of the DisplayPort 2.1 cable to the DisplayPort output on your PC, laptop, or graphics card and the other end to the DisplayPort input on your monitor. Ensure the locking plug engages to prevent accidental disconnection. Configure display settings in the operating system or graphics driver to select the desired resolution and refresh rate; enable DSC or HDR in the display and GPU settings if required. For multi-monitor setups, use MST-aware devices and configure the arrangement from the host graphics control panel.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that both source and display support DisplayPort 2.1 features to use full 80 Gbps bandwidth and high resolutions
- Check that your GPU and monitor support DSC, HDR, and the specific resolution/refresh combinations you intend to use
- Confirm that a 2 m cable length meets your installation requirements
Usage recommendations
For best results, use this cable with devices that explicitly support DisplayPort 2.1 and DSC. When setting up high-resolution or high-refresh displays, update graphics drivers and monitor firmware where available, enable HDR and DSC in device settings, and ensure connectors are firmly seated with the locking mechanism engaged to maintain stable high-bandwidth transmission.
