What this cable is

The SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable measures 3.3 ft and delivers 40 Gbps bandwidth under the HBR10 specification. It carries 8K resolution at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz or 144 Hz, and 2K at 165 Hz or 240 Hz. The cable is VESA certified and backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.0 through 2.0.

Who it suits and who it does not

Gamers and creators driving high-refresh 4K or 8K monitors will use the full 40 Gbps link with DSC 1.2a and HDR metadata transport. Builders needing runs longer than 3.3 ft or installations requiring latching connectors should look at alternative cable lengths or locking designs not offered here.

What the design details change

A latch-free plug with a grooved grip eases removal in tight rear-I/O spaces. The construction supports 7.1, 5.1 and 2.0 uncompressed audio pass-through plus HDCP 2.2 for protected content. MST multi-stream transport allows daisy-chained monitors from a single output.

Questions about this item

Do I need a graphics card and monitor that both have DisplayPort 2.1 ports to use this cable?

Yes, to reach the 40 Gbps bandwidth and 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz modes both ends must support DisplayPort 2.1.

Will this cable work with my current DisplayPort 1.4 monitor?

The cable is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0 so it will function at the lower standard's limits.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 40 Gbps after I connect it?

Check your GPU control panel or monitor OSD to confirm the link is running at 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz or 2K@240Hz with HDR and DSC active.
