Key Specifications

Secure Locking Design for Reliable Connections

The Cables Direct 99DP-002LOCK features a locking mechanism on both connectors that secures the cable firmly in place. This design prevents accidental disconnection from cable strain or movement, making it ideal for installations where stability is critical, such as wall-mounted displays or desktop setups subject to vibration.

Gold-Flashed Connectors for Signal Integrity

Gold-flashed contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and maintain excellent conductivity over time. This ensures a stable, high-quality signal transmission between your DisplayPort source and display, reducing the risk of intermittent connection issues that can occur with standard connectors.

Fully Shielded 30 AWG Cable Construction

Constructed with fully shielded 30 AWG wiring, this cable minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can degrade signal quality. The shielding is particularly important in environments with multiple electronic devices or in longer cable runs where signal degradation is more likely.

Versatile Digital Connectivity

This DisplayPort cable supports both video and audio transmission where enabled by the source device. While primarily designed for digital display connections, it can also carry USB signals in compatible setups. The 20-pin DisplayPort standard offers a royalty-free alternative to HDMI, providing excellent compatibility with modern DisplayPort-enabled equipment.
