Finally, a DisplayPort Coupler for all those cable extension, joining and gender changing requirements.
"So what's the big deal about a DisplayPort Coupler?" I hear you ask. Well apart from being hard to find, these ultra handy adapters let you change the gender of a Male DisplayPort (DP) cable as well as allow you join two standard DisplayPort Cables together.
Supporting the DisplayPort v1.4 spec, you can expect resoutions up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz when used with short 1 metre to 3 metre cables, and reliable extension of 4K60Hz signals when using longer cables.
Now, let's keep things real here... the DisplayPort standard has never been a star when it comes to operating over long distances (which is why you won't find many standard DisplayPort cables over 5 metres), however for all those times when you just need to tether two cables together for a meeting or presentation, this little friend can be a lifesaver.
So whether you're joining your existing DisplayPort cable to connect with the office projector, or installing a cable to hang from the back of your monitior with a female connection for easy 'plug 'n play', you can be sure Cable Chick has you covered with this DisplayPort 1.4 Coupler.
Maximum lengths when joining cables
We all know that there's some loss of signal strength when using adapters. And while digital signals will still deliver a perfect image, the overall distance you can run a signal is shortened when an adapter is introduced.
So when joining two DisplayPort cables, the maximum length will greatly depend on the required resolution. You can expect support for 7680x4320 (8K Ultra HD) @ 60Hz when the two v1.4cables combined measure under 3m and Ultra HD 4K@60Hz with joined v1.4 cables up to 5m-10m.
