Reliable bi-directional transmission and broad compatibility bring confidence when switching between laptops, tablets and monitors. Do you need an 8K-capable, high-bandwidth connection for current setups or for future-proofing?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Video Bandwidth: 32.4Gbps bandwidth, supports up to 8K@60Hz and high-refresh 4K modes
  • Best for: Users who need high-resolution, high-refresh external displays for work and gaming
  • Not ideal for: Setups that use Mini DisplayPort or HDMI-only monitors without adapters

Supports DisplayPort 1.4 signalling with a 32.4Gbps data path. Designed for high-resolution, high-refresh desktop and laptop display connections.


Ultra-high resolution and refresh rates – with 32.4Gbps DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth

DisplayPort 1.4 signalling over a 32.4Gbps link enables up to 8K at 60Hz and multiple 4K refresh-rate combinations, with HDR and HDCP 2.3 support for protected content. The large bandwidth also allows 1440p at up to 360Hz and 1080p at up to 240Hz.

High-resolution editing, large spreadsheets and smooth gaming visuals are achievable without a visible drop in fidelity. Future monitors with faster panels can be driven without swapping cabling.

Flexible bi-directional use – thanks to USB-C to DisplayPort design

Bi-directional transmission allows video and audio to travel from USB-C sources to DisplayPort monitors and from DisplayPort sources to USB-C displays. Compatibility examples listed include MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, iPad Pro and modern phones that support USB-C display output.

Easily connect laptops or tablets to external screens, or use a DisplayPort-equipped PC with a USB-C monitor, reducing the need for multiple specialised leads. One 2m cable covers most desk and living-room layouts.

Smooth gaming and immersive sound – with VRR, G-Sync and Dolby-capable audio

Support for variable refresh rate technologies such as AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync, plus ALLM, reduces tearing and latency at high refresh rates. Synchronous audio and video handling includes compatibility with Dolby Atmos and other multichannel formats via DisplayPort audio channels.

Competitive gaming benefits from tear-free, low-latency visuals at high refresh rates, while movies and streamed content gain fuller multichannel audio on compatible monitors or AV receivers. A single connection keeps audio and video in lockstep.
