8K DisplayPort 2.0 Cable – 15ft – DP 2.0 Cable with Special A.I.S. Shielding for Gaming PCs/Gaming laptops and high Resolution 4K / 8K or Super Fast 144Hz, 240Hz or 360Hz by CableDirect

So I went on a quest to try to find a VESA certified Displayport 2.0 cable, which didn't exist, and then I went looking for merely a Displayport cable that is 2.0 and doesn't have the dreaded 20th pin that fries GPUs. The only reason you could ever need or want a DP 2.0 cable is because you have a fancy-pants GPU capable of using the 2.0 bandwidth, and if you're wondering why there's only one cable out there in June of 2023 that is both 1. Long and 2. Will not fry your GPU, your guess is as good as mine! But if you just got a fancy 4090 and want to stop looking, skip the reading below, order this, and don't look back! Some education about cables: Contrary to what a lot of the advertisements online suggest, and what most of the staff at Best Buy tell you, a high end video cable isn't about picture quality. It's about framerate and movement quality. This is also known as the "refresh rate" in your display settings, and it usually runs anywhere between 60 and 144 Hz for monitors. If you were watching a film on a 1080p projector, a ten year old HDMI cable that costs a couple bucks from Home Depot will look amazing (because it's data: it either arrives, or it doesn't). The frame rate in film is 24 frames per second, so not a lot of data, and absolutely no reason to buy an expensive gold plated one for $50-100 for that purpose. If you are gaming, however, and want 90-200fps, then the bandwidth of your cable becomes a huge problem. Although it's technically possible for a GPU to lower the quality to accommodate, what will actually happen is glitches and stutters where the picture blacks out and reappears because there isn't enough bandwidth in the cable. The exact same problem arises if you a creative professional, or otherwise have need for multiple 4k or 5k monitors--use the latest DP cable, or you could have blackouts, depending on how high you like your refresh rate. For video editing or animating, that's how often the image on screen refreshes, and a higher refresh rate is in fact quite nice, as you don't want film-level FPS while scrubbing through footage or keyframes or whatever. At least, I don't. I unfortunately haven't been able to test this with a double 4k monitor, as I am a gamer, but I did get rid of the blackouts I was having by switching from an HDMI to this cable when gaming at a 144mhz refresh rate with 100+ fps. The only problem people are complaining about in the reviews seems to be that the cable end itself is a bit bulkier than normal, which unfortunately, tends to be the reality for the longer (and higher bandwidth) cables because they need a lot more insulation to avoid signal quality degradation. If you're used to running cables 15-20 feet between a computer and a projector then you are used to these cable thicknesses already, but if you are not, you need to make sure you have some clearance around your port to plug in a bulky cable. If you are doomed to working in a tight space (this happened to me once with a projector) you have to pay a few more bucks to buy a more flexible 1 foot extension cable (which also has to be the same speed), or possibly break it while bending it. But if you are building high end workstations or theater setups, you should ideally be building in room for the bulkier cables. With this particular cable, you need about 2.5 inches of clearance from the port before the cable becomes bendable. That's about an inch more than you may be used to. I read that something like 2/3 of cables don't actually have the bandwidth they market online, and I don't have the tools to measure cable bandwidth. That said, as of this writing, there were no other cables with advertising that wasn't obviously misleading about the purpose of the 2.0 standard, and this was the only cable to reference that it was correctly structured to have 19 pins and not 20, so... yeah. Even if it was one star it would be your only choice. (Also I did look at it, and there is only 19 pins.) But I've run a lot of cables and this definitely has the feel of a quality, well insulated one. It is bulky for the same reason that the gigantic workstation you're running it from is bulky. For now they have the market cornered on long 2.0 DP cables. So love it or hate it, this one is it.

Have been using this with a 4k monitor connected directly to GPU in my PC for over a year without any kind of problems. Works as expected and seems like good quality construction and materials.

Nice cable. Well built. Works great.

Nice quality. This one has locks. HDMI being so heavy likes to fall out for my video card. This one has locks.

New, functions great

I was hesitant about purchasing these to use. I purchased two monitors of the same brand for my gaming and streaming setup. There were a few reviews about the cables causing issues as time went on. I have not experienced that (yet). There really isn't much to say about these. They are what we need for DP. I purchased them for the quality build and rigid design, along with the clips that hold the cables in place.

I have gone through about 5 different cables and then found these, They have latches and don't come loose anymore NO screen flicker, also it's 10 feet so is good for Standing Desk and Cable Management in the Monitor Arm. I will always return to this vendor for all my Cable requirements. Great Quality, very happy and would recommend this product.

Great high quality cable. Does what it promises and is one of the few manufacturers that even gives you peace of mind by stating the 20th pin is disconnected. With other brands you take a risk of damaging you GPU if this is not the case. Highly recommended. I use this with an AMD 7900XTX, which has DP 2.1 ports. Kinda pointless with a Nvidia 4 series GPU since it is limited to DP1.4a.

Been using it for some months, works perfectly and is one of the few true DP 2.0 (UHBR10) cables out there.. most people won't need it except for very high refresh rate 4k monitors and such, but overdoing it just to have the latest technology doesn't hurt, it's futureproof.

excelente producto y de muy buena calidad, se sujete firmemente a la tarjeta de video, no tiene ningun retrazo en la imagen. recomendado 100

Correspond a la description et plus aucun soucis de micro coupures au niveau de l'écran. Parfait.

Bardzo dobry kabel. Posiada zabezpieczenie przed wypadnięciem z gniazda - taki wysuwany bolec? Przed wyciągnięciem należy nacisnąć przycisk. U mnie działa idealnie z monitorem 4K 144 Hz i HDR.
