What this cable delivers
The SMUGDESK DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries 80 Gbps bandwidth and meets the VESA specification for 16K at 60 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz with DSC 1.2a, HDR10 and HDCP 2.2. It is built for gamers and creators who need lossless high-refresh video and adaptive-sync support on modern GPUs.
Check your hardware first
Verify that both your graphics card and monitor have DisplayPort 2.1 ports and that the GPU driver advertises the resolution and refresh rate you want. The cable is backward compatible with DP 2.0, 1.4 and 1.2, but the highest modes require native 2.1 support on both ends.
Where the upgrade matters
Moving from a DP 1.4 link to this 2.1 cable unlocks 4K at 240 Hz or 8K at 120 Hz without compression artefacts, which DP 1.4 cannot sustain at full colour depth. If your current setup runs 4K at 144 Hz or lower, the jump only pays off when you upgrade to a display and GPU that target 240 Hz or 8K workflows.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use the cable?
The package contains the 6.6 ft DisplayPort 2.1 cable with nylon braided jacket and gold-plated connectors. No extra adapters or power supplies are required; plug it directly between a DisplayPort source and a DisplayPort display.
The listing shows several resolution and refresh-rate combinations — which one should I pick for my monitor?
Choose the mode that matches your monitor’s native resolution and maximum refresh rate. The cable supports 16K@60 Hz, 8K@120 Hz, 4K@240/165/144 Hz and 2K@360/240/165/144 Hz, so select the highest combination your display and graphics card both allow.
What does the 80 Gbps bandwidth mean for everyday gaming at 4K@240 Hz?
The 80 Gbps link carries 4K@240 Hz with DSC 1.2a compression, HDR10 and HDCP 2.2, delivering full 4:4:4 colour without visible artefacts. Your graphics card and monitor must each support 4K@240 Hz and DSC for the mode to activate.
