DisplayPort cable SAVIO CL-204 v1.4 1 m, DP 1.4 compatibility

SAVIO CL-204 is a 1-metre DisplayPort cable that complies with the DP v1.4 standard and provides a digital video and audio connection between compatible PCs, laptops, monitors and graphics cards. The cable is designed to support high-resolution displays and multi-monitor setups where DP 1.4 features such as higher bandwidth and improved color depth are required. With DisplayPort connectors on both ends and a black outer sheath, the CL-204 is intended for straightforward device-to-device connections with a 1 m length for close-range use.

Advantages

The CL-204 supports the DisplayPort 1.4 specification and a maximum effective bandwidth that enables high-resolution and high-refresh-rate video modes. The cable construction with AWG 30 conductors and an outer diameter of approximately 5.3 mm is intended to provide durability and flexibility for standard routing and cable management. Support for DSC (Display Stream Compression) allows transmission of very high resolutions such as 8K at 60 Hz while maintaining visually lossless image quality. The double-sided DisplayPort connectors ensure a stable digital connection for both video and audio.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop with a DisplayPort output to a DisplayPort-equipped monitor
• High-resolution workflows that require 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz modes (with DSC where applicable)
• Gaming setups that benefit from high refresh rates such as 4K@144Hz or Full HD@240Hz
• Multi-monitor configurations where DP 1.4 compatibility is required

When it may not be suitable

The 1 m length is intended for short-range connections; it may not be suitable if a longer cable run is required between devices. The cable supports DisplayPort 1.4 features but will not add functionality to devices that only support earlier DisplayPort versions or different connector types without appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type: DisplayPort (male) on both ends
• DisplayPort version: 1.4
• Maximum data throughput: up to 32.4 Gbps (DP 1.4 effective bandwidth)
• Supported resolutions and refresh rates: up to 8K at 60 Hz (with DSC), 4K at 144 Hz, Full HD at 240 Hz
• Display Stream Compression (DSC) support: yes
• Cable conductor gauge: AWG 30
• Outer diameter: approx. 5.3 mm
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one DisplayPort connector to the DisplayPort output on your computer or graphics card and the other connector to the DisplayPort input on your monitor or display. Ensure both devices are powered on and select the DisplayPort input on the monitor if necessary. Configure resolution and refresh rate in your operating system or graphics driver settings to match the capabilities of the monitor and the cable (for example, enabling DSC if required for certain 8K or high-refresh modes).

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both source and display devices support DisplayPort 1.4 or the specific resolution/refresh rate you need.
• Confirm that a 1 m cable length is sufficient for your setup and routing requirements.
• Check whether your display or graphics card requires DSC or specific settings to achieve the highest resolutions or refresh rates.
• Ensure you have the appropriate ports (DisplayPort) on both devices or plan for a compatible adapter if needed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for direct connections between a graphics card and a monitor without additional passive splitters. When using high-resolution or high-refresh modes (for example 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz), confirm driver settings and enable DSC if your display requires it. Avoid sharp bends at the connectors and maintain gentle cable routing to preserve signal integrity over time.
