## Long description

This StarTech 2 m DisplayPort 2.1 cable is VESA DP40 certified and supports UHBR10 bandwidth up to 40 Gbps. It enables connection of an 8K or 4K UHD DisplayPort monitor to a host computer, GPU, MST hub, or docking station and supports high-bandwidth video and multi-channel audio for professional AV and content-creation workflows.
Advantages
The cable is VESA certified for DisplayPort 2.1 and is backward compatible with earlier DisplayPort versions, ensuring reliable signal delivery and broad device interoperability. It supports high refresh rates and resolutions (including 8K 60Hz with DSC and 4K up to 144Hz), HDR10, HDCP 2.2, DSC 1.2a, MST daisy-chaining and up to 32 channels of digital audio. The construction includes braided aluminum mylar shielding for reduced EMI, latching nickel-plated connectors rated for over 10,000 insertions, a flexible TPE jacket and robust strain reliefs for durable everyday use.
Suitable for
Connecting 8K or 4K UHD DisplayPort monitors to desktops, workstations or docking stations

How to use
Plug one DisplayPort male connector into the host device (GPU, docking station or MST hub) and the other into the DisplayPort input on the monitor. Ensure both source and display support the desired DP 2.1 features (such as UHBR10, DSC or HDR) and enable the corresponding settings in the display and GPU drivers if required. For multi-monitor daisy-chaining, connect the first monitor to the host and then chain subsequent displays using their DisplayPort outputs, configuring MST in the host OS or GPU control panel.
Usage recommendations
Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid prolonged tight bends near strain reliefs; ensure latching connectors are fully engaged to prevent accidental disconnection. Use compatible DP 2.1 hardware and update GPU/display firmware or drivers to achieve the advertised resolutions and refresh rates.
