InLine DisplayPort active cable, black, gold-plated contacts, 20m

The InLine DisplayPort active cable 17120A is a 20 m DisplayPort cable designed for transmitting video and audio signals over long distances. It features gold-plated contacts and an active signal booster to maintain signal integrity at extended length, supporting high-resolution displays up to 4K. The cable is black and intended for connecting monitors, computers, notebooks and for use in conference rooms or monitoring centres.

Advantages

The active design preserves video and audio quality over 20 m by compensating for signal attenuation. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. Standard DisplayPort connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with DisplayPort-equipped monitors and graphics outputs. The 20 m length enables flexible device placement in professional and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting monitors to desktop PCs and notebooks
• Conference room AV setups
• Monitoring centres and control rooms
• Home theater or long-reach display installations

How to use

Connect one DisplayPort end to the source device (PC, notebook or video output) and the other end to the target display. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Configure the display settings on the source device to the desired resolution and refresh rate; the active cable will maintain signal quality at long distances. If multiple displays are used, set the output mode (duplicate/extend) in the operating system or graphics driver.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and other heavy power cables. Verify that connected devices support the target resolution and refresh rate; if signal issues occur, check connector seating and try swapping input ports or cables for troubleshooting.
