UGREEN 80724 DisplayPort 1.4 Cable 5 m, 8K 60 Hz, 4K 144 Hz, MST, Braided

Overview

The UGREEN 80724 is a 5 m DisplayPort 1.4 cable with gold-plated connectors in zinc alloy shells and a braided jacket. Its length suits a PC and display that are well apart: a computer in a cabinet feeding a wall display, a control room console, or a desk with the tower under a separate table. It carries 32.4 Gbps for 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz, and supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for chaining monitors.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a monitor 5 m from the computer, such as a wall display in a reception or meeting room fed from a cabinet.
• Suits running several displays from one DisplayPort output using MST, when the monitors or a hub support it.
• Both the graphics card and the monitor must support the resolution and refresh rate you want. The cable does not add a mode.
• If a shorter run is possible, a shorter cable is usually more forgiving at the highest modes.
• Both ends are full-size DisplayPort. A Mini DisplayPort or USB-C source, or an HDMI screen, needs a different cable.

Key features

• 5 m long with full-size DisplayPort male plugs at both ends.
• DisplayPort 1.4 at up to 32.4 Gbps, for up to 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz with 10-bit HDR, or 4K at 144 Hz.
• VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) 1.2 with up to 3:1 compression without visible loss.
• Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for running several displays from one port.
• Dynamic HDR and HDCP 2.2, with 7.1, 5.1 and 2 channel audio.
• Backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.2.
• Gold-plated contacts in zinc alloy shells, with a braided jacket.

What else you need

Full-size DisplayPort ports at both ends: on a graphics card, laptop or dock and on the monitor. For MST daisy-chaining, the monitors or a hub must support MST. No power or software is needed.

Before you buy

• MST needs monitors or a hub that support it. The cable alone does not create extra displays.
• At 5 m, test the highest mode you need with your own equipment. A shorter cable is usually more forgiving at the top modes.
