Product Features
Technical Overview
The DP4N1USB6 integrates four separate cable functions: a 20-pin DisplayPort digital audio/video channel, a USB 2.0 Type A to Type B data path, and two 3.5mm mini-phone connectors for stereo audio and microphone signals. All connectors are male gender with gold plating, supporting high-resolution DisplayPort video transmission alongside peripheral and audio connectivity.
The cable construction includes molded connectors with integrated strain relief, which reduces stress on termination points and extends cable life. The latching mechanism on DisplayPort connectors provides positive retention, while color-coded audio connectors simplify correct connection of stereo audio and microphone lines. The cable weighs approximately 10.90 oz (309.01 g) and complies with multiple environmental standards including EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives.
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.
