What this cable does

This SMUGDESK cable connects a USB-C source to a DisplayPort display at up to 8K 60 Hz or 4K 144 Hz. It carries 32.4 Gbps bandwidth with DSC 1.2 compression and supports HDR, HDCP 2.2 and Multi-Stream Transport for multi-monitor setups. The ten-foot length suits desk or meeting-room layouts.

Protocol and compatibility details

The cable requires the host USB-C port to support DisplayPort Alt Mode and works with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts. It is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.3, 1.2 and 1.1 displays. Supported hosts include MacBook Pro 2017-2021, Mac Studio, Mac Mini 2018 and 2020, iMac 2017-2018, iPad Pro 2018-2021, Dell XPS 13 and 15, Alienware m15 and m17, Surface Book 7, Yoga 920, Samsung Galaxy S20 and S21, plus Chromebook and Pixelbook models.

Who should buy and who should not

Creative professionals and gamers needing 8K 60 Hz or high-refresh 4K and 2K from a USB-C laptop will benefit. Users whose USB-C port lacks video Alt Mode, or who need longer runs than three metres, should look at active optical cables or a dock-based solution.

Questions about this item

How often should the 10FT USB-C to DisplayPort cable be replaced under normal use?

The cable has no moving parts or consumable components, so it does not require scheduled replacement. Inspect the connectors and jacket periodically; replace only if physical damage or signal issues appear.

What is the first limitation when running 8K at 60Hz continuously through the 32.4Gbps link?

The 32.4Gbps bandwidth ceiling and DSC 1.2 compression are the limiting factors; sustained 8K 60Hz 10-bit HDR operates at the edge of the HBR3 spec, so any additional overhead such as MST multi-stream may reduce available headroom.

Does the 10FT cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day 4K 144Hz gaming sessions?

The cable is passive and draws only the minimal bus power required for the DisplayPort AUX channel; it does not produce measurable heat during extended 4K 144Hz operation.
