Silkland 80Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 cable 2m
Product description
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable from Silkland delivers the higher bandwidth needed for ultrahigh-resolution gaming and professional displays, with support for up to 80 Gbps and VESA certification for reliable signalling. It is designed to connect modern graphics cards and monitors for smooth high-frame-rate play and crisp HDR content, while maintaining backwards compatibility with older DisplayPort versions.
Key Points
The cable supports high resolutions and refresh rates according to the manufacturer, including 8K at 120 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz without compression, and higher modes such as 8K at 240 Hz or 16K at 60 Hz when DSC is enabled. It also provides Dynamic HDR, HDCP 2.3 compatibility and lossless multichannel audio pass-through for immersive audiovisual setups. The design includes 24K gold-plated connectors and a braided nylon jacket for improved durability and corrosion resistance. 🕹️🎯

Advantages
The cable focuses on stable, high-speed data transfer with features aimed at reducing artefacts and latency, such as VRR, FEC and ALLM, which are useful when pairing with FreeSync or G-Sync capable displays. MST support allows multi-monitor configurations for expanded desktop or immersive setups. Its robust shielding and conductor choice are intended to minimise interference and signal loss during long gaming sessions or content creation work. ⚡
Usage Recommendations
Use this DP 2.1 cable to connect modern GPUs and high-refresh-rate monitors when seeking higher uncompressed frame rates and HDR compatibility. Consider enabling DSC on devices that support it to unlock the highest resolution and refresh-rate combinations. Note that some extreme modes depend on both the source and display supporting the same features, according to the manufacturer, so double-check device capabilities if you plan to use resolutions like 16K@60Hz or 8K@240Hz.
