Hama DP-Cable DP 2.1 UltraHD 8K 40 GBIT/s 2 M

Hama DP-Cable DP 2.1 UltraHD 8K 40 GBIT/s 2 M | A 2-metre DisplayPort cable for 8K setups

A cable that falls short can make an otherwise tidy display setup awkward. This 2-metre Hama DP cable gives you room to route a DisplayPort connection without having to place your equipment right beside the screen. It’s intended for setups calling for DP 2.1, UltraHD 8K and a data rate of 40 Gbit/s. That makes it a specific option for anyone putting together a high-resolution DisplayPort connection, rather than a cable chosen only by appearance. The useful thing here is that the key figures are right in the product name, so you can compare them with what your setup calls for. It’s black, too, for a low-key look alongside other cables. If you need a DisplayPort cable with these stated figures and a two-metre length, this Hama model is the straightforward one to consider.

A practical point before you choose

Think about the cable’s route, not just the straight-line distance between your equipment. A route around a desk, behind a screen or along a wall can use more length than you expect, and leaving a little slack can make the setup easier to arrange. Two metres gives you a defined length to plan around; it isn’t an invitation to coil spare cable wherever it happens to fit. Also make sure the connection you’re building is a DisplayPort one and that the figures you need are the ones named for this cable. Those details matter more than choosing by a broad label like “high speed”. For a neat setup, map the route first, then decide if two metres suits the space. That’s the simple way to avoid a cable that ends up stretched tight or unnecessarily long.
