DisplayPort cable ShiverPeaks 77495-1 — 5 m, gold-plated contacts

DisplayPort cable ShiverPeaks 77495-1 — 5 m, gold-plated contacts is a 5‑metre digital video and audio connection cable designed to link a DisplayPort output to a compatible display device. The cable supports standard DisplayPort signalling over an extended length, providing flexible placement of desktop monitors, projectors and docking stations while aiming to maintain signal integrity through corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts and a durable outer jacket.

Advantages

The gold-plated contacts increase resistance to oxidation and improve long-term contact reliability. A 5 m length allows greater physical separation between source and display without needing signal extenders. The cable is designed to carry both video and audio signals over a single connector type, reducing cable clutter and simplifying multi-device setups. Build quality focuses on stable electrical connections and protection against everyday wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops with DisplayPort output to external monitors
• Linking a DisplayPort source to projectors in meeting or classroom environments
• Integrating docking stations and all-in-one workstations where a longer reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: DisplayPort on both ends
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Signal carried: digital video and audio
• Construction: insulated multi-conductor cable with protective outer sheath

How to use

Connect one end of the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort output on your computer, laptop or docking station and the other end to the DisplayPort input on your monitor or projector. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch (if present) clicks into place. After connecting, power on source and display devices and select the appropriate input on the display. Configure resolution and refresh rate in the operating system or display settings to match the capabilities of your monitor and graphics output.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends or sharp kinks near the connectors, keep the cable away from large power cables to reduce potential interference, and check connector seating if you experience signal dropouts. Use appropriate display settings to match cable length and device capabilities; for extended distances, verify the desired resolution and refresh rate are supported without additional signal boosters.
