Overview
The StarTech DISPLPORT1L is a 1ft (30cm) DisplayPort 1.2 male-to-male cable designed for connecting DisplayPort-equipped computers, workstations, graphics cards, monitors, projectors, and other compatible displays. Its short length helps reduce cable clutter in compact workstation, desktop, and mobile setups.
DisplayPort Performance
The cable supports DisplayPort 1.2 signaling with up to 21.6Gbps HBR2 bandwidth and resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz. It also supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for compatible multi-monitor configurations and digital audio transmission.
Connector and Cable Design
Both ends use latching DisplayPort connectors to help prevent accidental disconnection. The cable uses 28 AWG copper conductors, a PVC jacket, and shielding consisting of aluminum-Mylar foil with copper braid. Gold-plated connector contacts and EMI shielding are specified for the cable design.
Compatibility
The DISPLPORT1L connects DisplayPort sources to DisplayPort displays and is suitable for compatible PCs, notebooks, workstations, graphics cards, monitors, and projectors. It is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.1.
