Product Features
Technical Overview
This active cable incorporates adaptive receiver equalization to optimize the input signal and amplify the output signal, ensuring broad display compatibility. The DisplayPort 1.4 input supports HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3) at 18Gbps, while the HDMI 2.0b output drives up to 4K 60Hz with HDR10. Backward compatibility extends to 4K 30Hz, 1080p, and lower resolutions.
The cable includes cage shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintain signal integrity over the 4-meter length. The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and ensure reliable contact. The latching DisplayPort connector secures the connection to the host device, preventing accidental disconnection.
Key Product Advantages
The StarTech active adapter cable simplifies connectivity by combining a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and a high-quality cable into one integrated unit. This reduces clutter, potential failure points, and signal loss at the connection interface. The active electronics ensure that even long runs (4m) maintain full bandwidth and resolution support.
No Drivers Required
Works with all operating systems and hardware platforms without additional software. Supports integrated and dedicated GPUs from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA.
Universal Compatibility
Use with desktop computers from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others. The latching DisplayPort connector ensures a secure fit.
