Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM cable adheres to the DisplayPort 1.2 standard, delivering digital audio/video signals across two independent DisplayPort channels. Each channel terminates in a male DisplayPort connector, providing the necessary interface for dual-monitor configurations from a single computer source. The integrated USB path utilizes a 9-pin USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) connection, with a standard Type-A male connector on the computer end and a Type-B male connector on the switch end for device control and data.
The cable construction prioritizes signal integrity and physical durability. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket offers flexibility and resistance to everyday wear, while the precise 6-foot (1.83-meter) length is calibrated for workstation ergonomics without excessive slack.
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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for desktop workstations, development rigs, or control stations where users need to switch between multiple computers while maintaining a dual-monitor display setup and USB peripheral access. It is particularly valuable in financial trading desks, video editing suites, software development environments, and multi-system IT admin stations.
The integrated design eliminates the need to manage separate DisplayPort and USB cables, speeding up deployment and reducing points of failure. It ensures that both video signals and USB data for keyboards, mice, or other peripherals are switched simultaneously and reliably through the KVM.
Financial or Trading Desk Setup
Enables traders to quickly switch between primary and backup systems without disrupting their dual-screen layout or input devices, maintaining workflow continuity.
Content Creation & Post-Production
Allows video editors or designers to alternate between a rendering workstation and a client review station using the same high-resolution monitors and peripherals.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek, all-black design with a flexible TPE jacket that resists kinking and lays flat for neat routing. Its 6-foot length is sufficient for most desk-mounted KVM switch installations, providing necessary reach without creating excess cable that requires management. The durable nickel-plated connectors ensure a secure, reliable connection with repeated insertions and removals.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 11.30 oz (320.35 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
