VESA-Certified DP 2.1 Cable
This VESA-certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers 54 Gbps bandwidth over a 10 ft length. It connects monitors or projectors to graphics cards and docking stations that support the DP 2.1 standard. The cable handles uncompressed 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz. It also supports DSC 1.2a for 4K at 240 Hz, 10K at 60 Hz and 16K at 30 Hz.
Check Your Port Version Before Ordering
Verify that both your source and display have DisplayPort 2.1 ports rated for UHBR13.5 to use the full 54 Gbps link. Older DP 1.4 or 1.2 ports will fall back to their lower bandwidth limits. Ensure your GPU and monitor firmware support DSC 1.2a if you target 4K 240 Hz or higher compressed modes. The cable is not for buyers who need a shorter run or a different connector type.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The certified construction maintains the 54 Gbps signal across the full 3.05 m without bit errors during long sessions. HDR10, MST daisy-chaining, HDCP 2.3 and variable-refresh protocols such as G-Sync and FreeSync remain stable under continuous throughput. The cable does not throttle or drop link rate when driving 8K 60 Hz or 4K 240 Hz DSC streams for extended periods.

Questions about this item
Does the 10 ft cable arrive ready to use or do I need extra adapters?
The cable has DisplayPort 2.1 male connectors on both ends and is VESA certified DP54, so it works straight from the box with no extra adapters.
Which bandwidth tier should I pick for 4K 240 Hz gaming?
The DP54 rating delivers 54 Gbps (UHBR13.5) and supports 4K 240 Hz with DSC 1.2a, matching the cable’s headline capability.
What does the 54 Gbps rating mean for my 8K monitor at 60 Hz?
It provides enough bandwidth for uncompressed 8K 60 Hz or 4K 144 Hz, and enables 10K 60 Hz or 16K 30 Hz when DSC 1.2a compression is used.
