## Long description

The StarTech.com DisplayPort Cable DP21-2M-DP40 (2 m) is a VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable designed to connect DisplayPort-enabled hosts, MST hubs or monitors for high-bandwidth video and multi-channel audio. It supports UHBR10 for higher refresh rates and enables up to 8K at 60Hz (with DSC) or 4K at 144Hz when used with compatible DP 2.1 sources and displays. The cable includes braided aluminum mylar shielding, a flexible TPE jacket and latching nickel-plated DisplayPort connectors rated for more than 10,000 insertions.
Advantages
This DP 2.1 cable is VESA Certified for DP 2.1 and is backward compatible with DP 2.0/1.4/1.2, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of devices. UHBR10 bandwidth enables high refresh rates such as 4K 120Hz and 1440p 240Hz and supports features including HDR10, HDCP 2.2, Display Stream Compression (DSC) 1.2a, Multi-Stream Transport (MST) and up to 32 uncompressed digital audio channels. Its durable construction — flexible TPE outer jacket, robust strain reliefs and latching connectors — minimizes EMI and resists repeated bending for reliable long-term use.
Suitable for
 8K and 4K UHD monitors requiring DP 2.1 connectivity
 High-performance GPUs and gaming setups with VRR (G-Sync / FreeSync)
 Workstations for media production, content creation and professional AV
 MST daisy-chain configurations with compatible monitors and hubs

How to use
Connect one DisplayPort end of the cable to a DisplayPort 2.1-enabled source (GPU, laptop docking station or MST hub) and the other end to a compatible DisplayPort monitor. Ensure both source and display firmware/drivers support DP 2.1 features (such as UHBR10, DSC and HDR) for maximum resolution and refresh rate. Use the cable’s latching connectors to secure the connection and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or pinching. For multi-monitor setups, connect through an MST hub or compatible monitor that supports daisy-chaining.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, verify that both the host GPU and display support DP 2.1 UHBR10 and DSC if you require 8K 60Hz. Keep firmware and graphics drivers up to date, and avoid tight bends near the connectors to preserve signal integrity and cable lifespan.
