Silkland 80Gbps DisplayPort Cable 1.5m
Product description
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable from Silkland delivers a high-bandwidth connection aimed at gamers and professionals who need fast, reliable video and audio transmission. With VESA certification and an 80 Gbps rated throughput, it supports very high resolutions and refresh rates for demanding monitors and modern graphics cards, making it suitable for competitive gaming and multi-monitor setups.
Key Points
The cable supports uncompressed 16K content according to the manufacturer and enables 8K at 240 Hz and 4K at extremely high refresh rates when used with DSC. It is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 2.0, 1.4 and 1.2 and carries HDR and HDCP standards for protected and dynamic content. The design emphasises gaming features such as variable refresh rate technologies and low-latency signalling to reduce tearing and stutter, which is useful for fast-paced titles and AAA games. Note that some very high refresh-rate modes require DSC to be enabled and compatible hardware on both ends.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Silkland 80Gbps DisplayPort Cable 2.1 1.5M
- Bandwidth: 80 Gbps
- Length: 1.5 m
- Supported resolutions/refresh rates: up to 16K@60 Hz, 8K@240 Hz, 4K@960 Hz with DSC enabled

- Construction: 28 AWG tinned copper conductors, triple shielding, 24K gold-plated connectors
Advantages
The cable’s construction aims to reduce interference and maintain signal integrity over its 1.5 metre length. Gold-plated connectors and triple shielding contribute to corrosion resistance and lower loss, while the nylon braided jacket improves flexibility and abrasion resistance. Audio support includes uncompressed multichannel formats, which keeps spatial sound and bit depth intact for immersive gameplay or media playback. The inclusion of MST compatibility means the cable can be part of extended desktop or stretched display arrangements.
Practical Tips
For peak performance enable Display Stream Compression on devices and confirm that both your monitor and graphics card announce support for the required UHBR modes. When pairing the cable with high-end GPUs such as recent RTX or AMD Radeon models, check the monitor’s firmware and input configuration to unlock the highest refresh-rate profiles. Consider cable routing that avoids strong electromagnetic sources and tight bends to preserve the shielding benefits. According to the manufacturer, the product carries a 24-month warranty and technical support is available within the stated response window.
Note that ultra-high refresh rates at maximum resolution depend on the capabilities of the connected hardware. Some legacy monitors or older graphics cards will be limited to lower modes despite using this high-bandwidth cable.
