SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable 3.3 ft

SKU CH-5SQ5-DK1EY

VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz over 3.3 ft

  • 8K video at 60 Hz with VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth
  • 4K gaming at 144 Hz or 120 Hz supported by 40 Gbps throughput
  • 2K high-refresh play up to 240 Hz for competitive titles
  • 1080p ultra-fast 360 Hz motion clarity on compatible monitors
  • 3 ft copper link carries HDR10, FreeSync and G-Sync without signal loss

What the cable does and who needs it

This DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 8K at 60 Hz, 4K up to 144 Hz and 1080p up to 360 Hz. It suits gamers and creators who want high refresh rates and HDR10 on a certified link. The 3.3 ft length fits typical desk runs between a GPU and a monitor. Buyers who need longer reach or multiple cables should look elsewhere.

How it fits into a build

The cable plugs directly into any DisplayPort output on a desktop, laptop or high-refresh gaming monitor. No external power or adapters are required. It supports FreeSync and G-Sync variable refresh, so the GPU can drive the panel without tearing. The 40 Gbps bandwidth leaves headroom for 8K 60 Hz or 4K 144 Hz signals. Builds that need longer runs or in-wall routing need a different length.

What the certification and features change

VESA certification means the cable meets the DisplayPort 2.1 specification for 40 Gbps throughput. That bandwidth enables 8K 60 Hz, 4K 144 Hz and 1080p 360 Hz without compression. HDR10 metadata passes through for wider colour and contrast. FreeSync and G-Sync support keeps motion smooth at any supported refresh rate. The copper construction delivers the certified performance at this length.

Questions about this item

Will the 40 Gbps bandwidth handle 8K at 60 Hz without signal loss during long sessions?

The cable is VESA certified for DisplayPort 2.1 and rated at 40 Gbps, supporting 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz with no missing signal.

Does the copper construction run hot or add noise when driving 4K at 144 Hz all day?

The passive copper design has no active electronics, so it produces no fan noise and generates no measurable heat during continuous use.

My monitor and GPU both have DisplayPort 2.1 ports — is anything else required to enable 8K 60 Hz or 4K 240 Hz?

Connect the DisplayPort plugs directly to a DisplayPort 2.1 source and a DisplayPort 2.1 sink; no adapters, power bricks or driver dongles are needed.
