STARTECH DP216FDP40CABLE displayport cable 6ft DP 2.1 DP40

SKU CH-7TT0-3EQG4 MPN DP216FDP40CABLE

VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers 8K 60 Hz with DSC, 4K 120 Hz and 1440p 240 Hz via UHBR10, plus HDCP 2.2, HDR10 and 32 audio channels

  • Supports 8K 60 Hz with DSC using compatible source and display
  • UHBR10 enables 4K 120 Hz and 1440p 240 Hz high refresh rates
  • HDCP 2.2 provides secure content protection between source and display
  • HDR10 delivers higher contrast and vibrant picture quality
  • MST allows daisy-chaining multiple monitors from one output

StarTech DP 2.1 DP40 Cable

This StarTech cable is a VESA certified DisplayPort 2.1 link rated for DP40 bandwidth. It connects a compatible source to a display at up to 8K 60Hz with DSC. The six-foot length suits desktop setups needing a reliable high-speed video connection.

UHBR10 and DSC 1.2a

UHBR10 transport enables high refresh rates such as 4K 120Hz and 1440p 240Hz. DSC 1.2a compression allows maximum resolution output without losing visual quality. HDCP 2.2 secures protected content while HDR10 delivers higher contrast and vibrant colour.

MST Daisy-Chain Limits

Multi-Stream Transport supports daisy-chaining multiple monitors from one output. The practical limit depends on the host controller and total bandwidth available. Backward compatibility covers earlier DisplayPort versions, but maximum resolution and refresh rate require DP 2.1 hardware at both ends.

Questions about this item

Will the VESA-certified DP40 connectors or the 6 ft cable jacket need replacement after repeated plugging?

The VESA-certified DP40 connectors are rated for normal insertions and the 6 ft jacket is built for typical desktop routing; no scheduled replacement is required.

What bandwidth ceiling limits sustained 8K 60 Hz output on this DP 2.1 cable?

The UHBR10 link tops out at 40 Gbps, so 8K 60 Hz relies on DSC 1.2a compression to stay within that ceiling.

Does the cable or its connectors get warm during all-day 4K 120 Hz use?

Passive copper construction means negligible heat rise; the connectors stay at ambient temperature during continuous 4K 120 Hz operation.
