Key Technical Metrics

Securing 8K Visual Fidelity

This cable supports High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) bandwidths. It delivers 32.4 Gbps for uncompressed video signals. Because it is VESA certified, it meets strict DP 1.4 specifications. This ensures stable performance at 8K 60Hz. The die-cast aluminium shielding prevents signal degradation. It protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Future-Proofing Display Infrastructure

The cable supports resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 pixels. It is backward compatible with 4K and 5K displays. So, it suits digital signage and commercial installations. It allows you to upgrade hardware without replacing cabling. The 5-metre length offers flexibility in desk and rack layouts. It connects desktops or laptops to large monitors or projectors.

Enhancing Visual Dynamics

High Dynamic Range (HDR10) is supported. This provides higher contrast ratios and vivid colours. The cable also supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST). This enables daisy-chaining multiple monitors from a single port. Forward Error Correction manages data transmission errors. It maintains signal stability over the full 5-metre run.

Ensuring Physical Durability

The cable features a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket. This material is flexible and strain-resistant. It is also non-toxic and halogen-free. The connectors are gold-plated to resist corrosion. They are tested to withstand 5,000+ insertions. Latching connectors secure the connection to prevent accidental disconnection.
