DisplayPort 2.1 cable MicroConnect MC-DP-MMG-300V2.1 54 Gbps, for 16K video transmission

MicroConnect MC-DP-MMG-300V2.1 is a DisplayPort 2.1 cable engineered for high-resolution digital video and audio transmission. With support for up to 54 Gbps bandwidth, this 3 m cable is designed to connect compatible PCs, graphics cards, monitors and professional displays, enabling video modes up to 16K and high refresh rates for demanding multimedia, content creation and gaming setups.

Advantages

The cable supports high bandwidth and modern display features such as HDR and HDCP 2.3 while offering DSC and MST compatibility for flexible multi-display configurations. Gold-plated connectors and a locking plug help maintain a stable connection and consistent signal quality. At 3 metres length it provides extended reach without compromising performance, suitable for desktop and studio environments.

Suitable for

• High-resolution video workstations (up to 16K@30Hz)
• High-refresh-rate gaming and esports setups (for example 4K@240Hz or 8K@120Hz when supported)
• Multi-monitor configurations using MST and compatible graphics cards
• Professional displays and content-creation workflows requiring HDR and HDCP 2.3

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for use with devices that support DisplayPort 2.1 features and higher bandwidths. It may not provide any benefit with older devices that only support earlier DisplayPort versions or lower maximum resolutions and refresh rates. For very short runs within compact systems where cable length or locking plugs are unnecessary, a shorter, simpler cable could be more convenient.

Key specifications

• Interface: DisplayPort 2.1
• Maximum bandwidth: 54 Gbps
• Supported resolutions and refresh rates: up to 16K@30Hz, 8K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz (depending on source and display capabilities)
• Color and content protection: HDR support, HDCP 2.3 compatibility
• Additional features: Display Stream Compression (DSC) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) support
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 3 m
• Physical connector: locking plug for secure connection

How to use

Connect one end of the MicroConnect DisplayPort 2.1 cable to the DisplayPort output on your PC or graphics card and the other end to the DisplayPort input on your monitor or display. Ensure both devices support the desired resolution and refresh rate, and enable any required features such as HDR or DSC in the device settings. Tighten the locking plug if necessary to secure the connection and avoid accidental disconnection. For multi-monitor setups using MST, configure displays through the graphics driver or operating system display settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your source device and display support DisplayPort 2.1 and the intended resolution/refresh rate.
• Check whether HDR, HDCP 2.3, DSC or MST support is required for your workflow.
• Ensure a 3 m cable length fits your installation needs and routing constraints.
• Verify connector type and locking mechanism compatibility with your equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this cable with DisplayPort 2.1-capable graphics cards and monitors, enable DSC when necessary to achieve higher resolution/refresh combinations, and secure the locking plug to prevent accidental disconnection during prolonged sessions.
