VESA Certified DP 2.1 Cable

This StarTech DisplayPort 2.1 cable carries a VESA DP40 certification for UHBR10 bandwidth. It connects compatible graphics cards or laptops to monitors or projectors. The three-foot length suits desktop setups where the source sits close to the display. Buyers needing longer runs for conference rooms or wall-mounted screens should choose a different cable.

Installation and common issues

Plug the latching connectors into DisplayPort sockets on both devices; the lock releases with a squeeze. No drivers or software are required because the link negotiates automatically. Problems usually appear when either endpoint lacks DisplayPort 2.1 support or when a dock or KVM limits the link to an older standard. Using a non-compliant adapter can also break the high-speed handshake.

Practical limits of UHBR10

The UHBR10 interface delivers 40 Gbps of raw bandwidth, enabling 8K at 60 Hz with DSC 1.2a compression. Uncompressed 8K exceeds this pipe, so the source must implement DSC. High refresh rates such as 4K 120 Hz and 1440p 240 Hz fit within the same budget. HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 pass through without extra overhead, while Multi-Stream Transport allows daisy-chaining monitors within the total bandwidth limit.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the cable is delivering 8K 60Hz with DSC after connecting it?

Confirm the source and display both report 8K at 60 Hz in their on-screen settings and that HDR10 and HDCP 2.2 are active; the VESA-certified DP40 link supports DSC 1.2a for that mode.

What comes with the DP213FDP40CABLE and what must I provide separately?

The package includes the 3 ft DisplayPort 2.1 cable only; you must supply a compatible DP 2.1 source and display that support UHBR10 for full 8K 60Hz or 4K 120Hz operation.

Which version of this cable should I choose for 4K 120Hz gaming?

The DP213FDP40CABLE is the single model listed; its UHBR10 bandwidth handles 4K 120Hz and 1440p 240Hz, so no other capacity or version is offered.
