DisplayPort extension cable
This six-foot cable extends an existing DisplayPort link by adding a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other. Both ends use 20-pin DisplayPort interfaces and the male side includes a latching mechanism for a secure fit. The 28 AWG conductors are wrapped in aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding and a PVC jacket. Gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity over the added length.
Suits setups needing extra reach
Works well when a monitor, projector or docking station sits just beyond the stock cable length. The extension preserves the DPCP and HDCP content-protection handshake used by protected media streams. Builders who need a longer single cable, a different connector type or support for a newer DisplayPort revision should look at alternative products.
Male-to-female 20-pin layout
The male-to-female gender arrangement is the deciding specification; it determines whether this cable plugs into your source and accepts your existing DisplayPort lead. Verify that both your host and display cables use standard 20-pin DisplayPort connectors before ordering.
