DisplayPort 2.1 AOC cable EATON, UHBR, DisplayPort–DisplayPort, 10 m, black

The EATON DisplayPort 2.1 AOC cable is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) with DisplayPort connectors on both ends, designed to transmit high-bandwidth video and audio signals over extended distances with minimal signal loss. Using UHBR signaling and DisplayPort 2.1 compliance, this black hybrid cable combines optical fibres and copper conductors to balance range and performance, enabling high-resolution output for professional workstations, monitors and graphics cards without additional drivers or complex configuration.

Advantages

The cable supports the DisplayPort 2.1 standard and maximum data rates up to 54 Gbit/s (UHBR 13.5), allowing transmission of high-resolution video formats including 10K @ 60 Hz with DSC, 8K @ 60 Hz (4:4:4 8-bit) and 4K @ 144 Hz. As an active optical cable, it reduces electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation over longer runs compared with pure copper solutions. The construction includes aramid reinforcement, TPU sheathing, metal housings and gold-plated contacts for enhanced durability and reliable connector contact. Plug & play installation streamlines integration in professional AV and IT setups.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

The cable is an active optical solution designed for long runs and UHBR bandwidth; for short desktop connections under a few metres a passive copper DisplayPort cable may be a simpler and lower-cost option. Some legacy devices or adapters that do not fully support DisplayPort 2.1 features or UHBR signalling might restrict maximum resolution or refresh rate, so the achievable display performance depends on both source and sink capabilities.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by connecting the DisplayPort plug at one end to the source device (for example a PC or graphics card) and the DisplayPort plug at the other end to the display or monitor. The cable is plug & play and does not require driver installation. Ensure both source and display support the desired DisplayPort version and resolution settings; adjust the output resolution and refresh rate in the operating system or graphics driver settings if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the aramid reinforcement and TPU jacket improve durability but standard cable handling precautions should be observed.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best results, use the EATON DisplayPort 2.1 AOC with devices that explicitly support high-bandwidth DisplayPort features; set resolution and refresh rates in the graphics driver to match the display’s capabilities and avoid tight bends or crushing forces during installation to preserve cable longevity.
