Technical Overview
This KVM combo cable implements DisplayPort 1.2 specifications, supporting resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate with full DisplayPort audio transmission. The integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface maintains 5 Gbit/s data transfer rates, equivalent to USB 3.0 performance standards.
The cable features male DisplayPort connectors on both ends, along with USB Type-A (host) to Type-B (device) connectors in a unified design. This configuration ensures compatibility with KVM switches that require separate DisplayPort and USB connections for computer control and peripheral management.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Connector Gender on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
