Overview
The StarTech DISPLPORT3L is a 3ft DisplayPort 1.2 male-to-male cable designed to connect DisplayPort-equipped computers, graphics cards, workstations, monitors, projectors, and other compatible displays. The cable uses latching DisplayPort connectors to help prevent accidental disconnection in desktop and professional AV installations.
DisplayPort Performance
The DISPLPORT3L supports DisplayPort 1.2 signaling with HBR2 bandwidth up to 21.6Gbps and resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz. It also supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for compatible multi-monitor configurations and digital audio transmission.
Connectivity and Construction
Both ends feature 20-pin latching DisplayPort male connectors. The cable uses 28 AWG conductors, a PVC jacket, and aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding. Nickel-plated connectors and molded strain relief are used for the cable assembly.
Compatibility
The cable is designed for DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort connections between compatible PCs, notebooks, graphics cards, monitors, projectors, and workstations. HDCP and DPCP support enables compatibility with protected digital content.
