⚠️ Directional cable — do not reverse. The Source end connects to your PC, console, or set-top box. The Display end connects to your monitor, TV, or projector. Confirm direction before routing through walls or conduit.
DisplayPort 2.1 Fiber Optic Cable — 16K UHD, 54Gbps, Up to 30 Meters Without Signal Loss
Standard copper DisplayPort cables struggle beyond 3 meters — signal degrades, refresh rates drop, and long cable runs through walls become impractical. For PC gamers chasing 4K at 240Hz, AV integrators running cables through conduit, and home-theater enthusiasts connecting a PC to a distant 8K display, this DisplayPort 2.1 fiber optic cable delivers full 54Gbps bandwidth at lengths from 5m to 30m with no signal degradation.
Each set includes one DP 2.1 fiber optic cable with gold-plated aluminum alloy connectors on both ends. The connector head measures 20.3mm wide × 48.5mm tall × 10.7mm deep (≈0.8" × 1.9" × 0.4"), with a 4.8mm (≈0.19") cable diameter. The fiber optic core is thin and flexible for easy routing through conduit or tight spaces. Shielding consists of aluminum foil + aluminum-magnesium braid + ground wire for strong EMI resistance. Available in lengths from 5m (≈16.4’) to 30m (≈98.4’).
This cable is ideal for a high-refresh-rate gaming setup connecting a DP 2.1 GPU to a 4K/240Hz or 2K/240Hz gaming monitor, a home-theater or conference-room installation where the source PC is located in a rack or cabinet far from the display, or a multi-screen mosaic gaming rig where multiple monitors are spanned into a single ultra-wide view.
✅ Backward compatible with DP 2.0, DP 1.4, and DP 1.2 ports and devices. Compatible source devices include desktop PCs, laptops, PS3/PS4, and set-top boxes with DisplayPort output. Compatible displays include monitors, TVs, and projectors with DisplayPort input. This cable is directional — Source end to signal device, Display end to screen.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What length should I choose for my DisplayPort 2.1 fiber optic cable?
Measure the distance between your source device (PC, console, set-top box) and your display, then add a small allowance for routing around furniture or through conduit. This cable is available from 5m (≈16.4’) to 30m (≈98.4’). For desktop setups, 5m is typically sufficient. For in-wall or ceiling installations, 10m–30m lengths are commonly used.
Does this cable support 4K at 240Hz for gaming monitors?
Yes. This DP 2.1 fiber optic cable supports 4K×2K at 240Hz (with DSC) and 2K at 240Hz natively, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming monitors. It also supports 8K at 240Hz and 16K at 30Hz for professional display applications. Your GPU and monitor must also support DP 2.1 to achieve these rates.
Is this cable backward compatible with DP 1.4 and DP 1.2 ports?
Yes. This cable is backward compatible with DP 2.0, DP 1.4, and DP 1.2 interfaces. When connected to an older port, the cable operates at the maximum bandwidth that port supports. You will not damage your equipment by using a DP 2.1 cable on an older port.
Can this cable be used for in-wall or conduit installation?
Yes. The fiber optic core is thin (4.8mm / ≈0.19" diameter) and flexible, making it easy to route through conduit or wall cavities. Important: this cable is directional and does not support reverse-direction use. The Source end must connect to your signal-sending device and the Display end to your monitor or TV. Confirm the direction before embedding in walls.
What shielding does this cable use, and how does it handle interference?
The cable uses triple-layer shielding: aluminum foil + aluminum-magnesium braid + ground wire. This construction provides strong resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), keeping the signal clean even when routed alongside power cables or through electrically noisy environments such as server rooms or AV racks.
What display modes does this cable support?
This cable supports three display modes: Mirror Mode (duplicate the same image on two screens), Extend Mode (use two screens as one large workspace for multitasking), and Multi-Screen Mosaic Mode (span a single image or game view across multiple displays for an ultra-wide experience). Mode availability depends on your GPU and operating system settings.
Does this cable support Dynamic HDR?
Yes. This DP 2.1 fiber optic cable supports Dynamic HDR, which allows compatible displays to apply accurate HDR metadata on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. This results in more realistic contrast and color reproduction compared to static HDR. Both your source device and display must support Dynamic HDR to take advantage of this feature.
