FAQ
What makes this an 'active' DisplayPort cable and why is that important?
This cable incorporates an integrated signal booster that actively regenerates the DisplayPort signal along the 10-meter length. This is crucial because passive DisplayPort cables experience signal degradation over distances beyond approximately 2-3 meters at high resolutions. The active design maintains full 25.9 Gbit/s bandwidth and supports 8K 60Hz, 4K 120Hz, and other high-performance modes at the full 10-meter length where passive cables would fail.
What resolutions and refresh rates does this cable support at its full 10-meter length?
At the full 10-meter (33-foot) length, this cable supports 8K resolution at 60Hz, 4K resolution at 120Hz, and 1440p resolution at 240Hz when using Display Stream Compression. These performance levels are maintained across the entire cable length thanks to the integrated signal booster that prevents the signal degradation that occurs with passive cables at these distances.
Does this cable require external power for the active signal booster?
No, the integrated signal booster is self-powered through the DisplayPort connection itself. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters or external booster boxes, simplifying installation while maintaining clean cable management. The booster draws minimal power directly from the DisplayPort source device's output.
What DisplayPort 1.4 features does this cable support?
This cable fully implements the DisplayPort 1.4 specification including HBR3 bandwidth (32.4 Gbps), HDR10 for enhanced color and contrast with 10-bit color depth, Multi-Stream Transport for daisy-chaining multiple displays, Display Stream Compression 1.2 for higher refresh rates at high resolutions, and HDCP 2.2 for protected content playback. It also maintains backward compatibility with DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.2 standards.
What types of devices and installations is this cable designed for?
This cable is engineered for professional video applications including digital signage installations with remote media players, video walls requiring long cable runs, professional AV workstations connecting to reference monitors, high-performance gaming setups, and any installation where displays must be positioned significant distances from source devices while maintaining maximum resolution and refresh rate performance.
What construction features ensure durability and reliable performance?
The cable features gold-plated 20-pin connectors with a latching mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection, robust strain relief at connection points, a flexible 7.5mm diameter TPE jacket rated VW-1 for flame resistance, comprehensive aluminum mylar foil shielding for EMI protection, and halogen-free, RoHS/WEEE compliant materials. These construction elements ensure reliable performance in professional environments.
What resolution or display format is specified?
It features a display specification of 7680 x 4320, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
