Certified UHBR10 Bandwidth for 8K Workflows
This cable supports the full DP40 data rate. In practice, this enables 8K 60Hz with DSC or 4K 144Hz without compression. Because it uses UHBR10, it handles high-refresh gaming and media editing. So, your signal remains stable over the full 3-metre run.
Robust Build for UK Setups
The jacket uses thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for flexibility. It routes easily around desk edges and tight corners. Also, latching nickel-plated connectors prevent accidental disconnection. Because the cable diameter is 8.2 mm, it stays manageable without bulk.
Advanced DisplayPort 2.1 Features
This cable supports key DP 2.1 protocols for modern displays. It handles HDCP 2.2 for secure content playback. It also supports HDR10 for vibrant colour contrast. Furthermore, DSC 1.2a maximises resolution output without visual loss. Multi-Stream Transport (MST) allows daisy-chaining monitors.
Reliable Shielding and Audio
The cable uses aluminium mylar foil shielding to minimise EMI. This ensures clear audio and video over the full length. Because it supports 32 uncompressed digital audio channels, it suits AV production. So, your setup maintains signal integrity.
