1.8m VESA-Certified DisplayPort 2.1 DP40 Cable

Connect DisplayPort equipment with a 1.8m VESA-certified DP40 cable delivering UHBR10 bandwidth up to 40Gbps for 8K and high-refresh-rate displays.

DisplayPort 2.1 DP40

Four UHBR10 lanes provide an aggregate link bandwidth of up to 40Gbps.

8K and high refresh

Supports up to 8K 60Hz with DSC, 4K 144Hz and 1440p 240Hz with compatible equipment.

Durability tested

TPE cable construction is tested for 600 bend cycles, while connectors are tested for more than 10,000 insertions.

What to know

Both endpoints require full-size DisplayPort. Maximum resolution and refresh rate depend on the source, display, graphics hardware and the use of DSC. The cable is backward compatible with DisplayPort 2.0, 1.4 and 1.2, but operates only at the capabilities of the connected equipment.

Australian supply and warranty: Supplied by DeviceDeal as an Australian-market product with the official Lifetime StarTech.com manufacturer warranty in Australia. Keep your DeviceDeal tax invoice; terms, eligibility and product assessment apply.
