ACT 2 meters DisplayPort cable male - DisplayPort male, power pin 20 not connected

The ACT 2 meters DisplayPort cable male-to-male is designed to connect devices equipped with DisplayPort interfaces for high-definition video and audio transfer. With a 2 m length and black finish, the cable provides a straightforward wired connection between monitors, projectors, docking stations and computers. The cable does not connect pin 20 (power), and it complies with RoHS and the manufacturer's AK3983 specification to meet safety and environmental requirements. It supports resolutions up to 4K for reliable image and sound transmission in home, office and professional setups.

Advantages

This DisplayPort cable offers a simple, durable connection with standard male DisplayPort connectors on both ends. Its 2 m length balances reach and cable management for typical desktop and workstation arrangements. Compliance with RoHS indicates reduced hazardous substances, while adherence to the product specification ensures consistent performance. The cable's black jacket provides a neutral appearance that fits most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to external monitors
• Linking projectors for presentations and meetings
• Connecting docking stations or KVM switches to displays
• Home entertainment setups requiring high-definition video and audio

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m

• Colour: Black
• Supports up to 4K resolution
• Pin 20 (power) not connected
• Standards compliance: RoHS

How to use

Insert each DisplayPort male connector securely into the DisplayPort receptacles of the source device and the display. Ensure the connectors are fully seated until they click or feel snug. If a display supports multiple inputs, select DisplayPort input in the display's input/source menu. Power on the connected devices and configure display settings on the source device to set resolution, refresh rate and audio output as required. Because pin 20 is not connected, avoid relying on this cable for power delivery to adapters or active converters.

Recommendations

For best results, route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference, avoid sharp bends or kinks, and maintain a modest slack to reduce stress on connectors. When using 4K resolutions, verify that both the source and the display support the chosen resolution and refresh rate; update graphics drivers if necessary. Use appropriate adapters only if they are passive and compatible with DisplayPort signal characteristics, and do not expect power delivery through this cable.
