DELOCK Active Optical Cable DisplayPort 2.1 8K 60 Hz 40 Gbps 10 m

DELOCK Active Optical Cable DisplayPort 2.1 8K 60 Hz 40 Gbps 10 m is a 10-metre optical video and audio cable that implements the DisplayPort 2.1 standard for long-distance connections between compatible graphics cards and monitors or projectors. The cable supports a maximum resolution of up to 8K at 60 Hz and provides an aggregate bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps, allowing high-resolution video and multi-channel audio to be transmitted with preserved signal integrity over extended distances. The product is intended for scenarios where copper cables cannot reliably maintain the required bandwidth or signal quality across longer runs.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference compared to long copper cables, enabling stable 8K 60 Hz transmission at a 10 m length. With support for DisplayPort 2.1 features and a 40 Gbps bandwidth, the cable accommodates high-resolution video and complex multi-channel audio streams while maintaining compatibility with devices that implement the DisplayPort standard. The single-cable solution simplifies routing and reduces the need for intermediate signal extenders.

Suitable for

• Long-distance connections between a DisplayPort 2.1 capable graphics card and a monitor or projector
• Professional workstations and content creation setups requiring high-resolution monitoring
• Gaming rigs and home theatre systems that benefit from 8K at 60 Hz over extended cable runs
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and preserved signal integrity are important

Key specifications

• Standard: DisplayPort 2.1
• Maximum resolution: up to 8K at 60 Hz
• Maximum data bandwidth: 40 Gbps
• Length: 10 metres (active optical cable)
• Signal type: digital video and audio over optical transmission

How to use

Connect one DisplayPort connector to the source device (for example a graphics card) and the other connector to the display device. Ensure both source and display support the desired DisplayPort 2.1 features and the target resolution/refresh rate. Use the full 10 m length as required for placement of devices; no additional external power is normally needed beyond what the DisplayPort interface provides, but confirm device compatibility and power allowances in case of non-standard implementations. After connection, configure output resolution and refresh rate in the source device’s display settings to match the monitor’s capabilities.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable 8K 60 Hz operation, verify that both the graphics card and the display explicitly support DisplayPort 2.1 at the desired resolution and refresh rate. Route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible and avoid extreme bending at the connector ends to preserve optical performance. For multi-monitor or advanced color-depth configurations, check the total bandwidth requirements and adjust resolution or refresh rate if necessary.
