Slim Technical Overview

4K Resolution at 60Hz Refresh Rate

This cable supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. It delivers a 60Hz refresh rate via DisplayPort 1.2. This provides smooth motion for video editing and general desktop use. However, input sources must support 4K output. Also, the monitor must accept DisplayPort 1.2 signals. In practice, this eliminates screen tearing during fast-paced tasks.

Universal USB-C Compatibility

The cable uses a USB Type-C connector with “Alternative Mode” support. This allows the USB port to transmit raw DisplayPort video signals directly. It is compatible with many modern laptops and tablets that feature USB-C video output. However, not all USB-C ports support video. So, you must verify your device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. This cable does not convert HDMI or VGA signals.

Durable Straight Connectors

Both connectors feature a straight form factor. This design reduces strain on the port when space is tight behind a monitor. The 2-metre black cable maintains a tidy aesthetic. It is suitable for fixed desktop installations. Also, the male-to-male connection ensures a secure fit. We recommend checking the port clearance on your specific device.

Reliable Data Transfer and Signal Integrity

The cable supports a data transfer rate of 5.4 Gbit/s. This bandwidth is sufficient for uncompressed 4K video at 60Hz. It also supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). This allows playback of protected content from streaming services. However, the cable does not carry USB data or power. It is a dedicated video link only.
