Eaton P580-003 - DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable 3 ft 4K 60 Hz

Overview :

The Eaton P580-003 is a DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable designed to transmit digital video and audio between DisplayPort-equipped sources and displays. IT engineers, AV integrators, and workstation teams deploy it to connect computing devices (workstations, GPUs, docking stations) to monitors, KVM systems, or projectors with a direct DisplayPort interface. It provides a reliable physical link for high-resolution content without requiring active converters or adapters.

From a technical deployment viewpoint, the cable supports DisplayPort 1.2 signaling with a maximum bandwidth of approximately 10.8 Gb/s, enabling video resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz (4K UHD) along with embedded audio channels. The male-to-male connectors include latching mechanisms to secure the connection in vibration-prone or high-movement environments. Shielding and molded strain relief support signal integrity and connector durability in cabling infrastructure.

This cable fits edge and rack-adjacent deployments such as deskside workstations, test benches, AV control rooms, conference room systems, and data center staging areas. Its 0.91 m (3 ft) length aligns with typical endpoint connectivity requirements and keeps cable runs short to minimize signal attenuation in structured cabling zones. It is not intended for long horizontal pathways or ceiling/floor raceways without intermediate support or routing.

Integration is plug-and-play with DisplayPort 1.2 compliance across host and display devices. It supports HDCP content protection, ensuring compatibility with protected video sources and professional displays. The latching DisplayPort connectors ensure secure physical engagement and reduce accidental disconnections in production environments.

In a practical deployment scenario, the cable is used to connect a GPU output on a workstation or rack mount thin client directly to a 4K capable monitor in an operations center. The secure latching connectors limit unintended unplugging when field technicians or users interact with the hardware.

This device should not be used where DisplayPort 1.4/2.0 bandwidth, higher refresh rate 4K (e.g., 120 Hz+), or long cable runs (beyond ~3 m) are required, nor in structured cabling backbones where active cabling solutions or repeaters would be more appropriate.
