How to use

Connect one DisplayPort male end to the DisplayPort output on the source device and the other end to the DisplayPort input on the display or projector. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until they click or feel secure. When using devices with DisplayPort power pin support, the pin 20 connection will maintain proper signal and power negotiation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the ACT AK3982 with DisplayPort-compatible devices and make sure firmware and graphics drivers on source devices are up to date. Avoid tight loops or sharp kinks in the 5 m cable and secure excess length with cable ties or management clips to minimize stress on the connectors.
