Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable complies with DisplayPort 1.2 specifications, supporting a data transfer rate of 21.6 Gbps through High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) signaling. It enables Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for daisy-chaining multiple displays from a single output, enhancing workspace efficiency. The cable also supports 8-channel audio with GTC (Global Time Code) for precise audio synchronization, ensuring immersive audio-visual experiences.
Backwards compatibility with DisplayPort 1.1 devices ensures broad usability across older hardware. The 20-pin connectors on both ends maintain full digital audio/video transmission without compression, preserving original content quality. EMI shielding with Al-Mylar foil and copper braid reduces electromagnetic interference, resulting in cleaner signals and reduced artifacts on connected displays.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
