Overview

The Monoprice 41279 DisplayPort 1.2a Cable 10-Pack provides ten three-foot cables designed for connecting DisplayPort-equipped computers to monitors, projectors, and other displays at resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160p). Each cable supports data transfer speeds up to 21.6Gbps through the High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) standard, carrying both uncompressed video and audio over a single connection. The locking connector design ensures each cable clicks securely into place, preventing the loose connections that can cause signal dropouts in busy work environments.

Compliance with the DisplayPort 1.2a specification means these cables also support 3D video content, deep color depth, and content protection via both DPCP and HDCP. Full backward compatibility with DisplayPort 1.1 and 1.1a makes them a versatile choice even in mixed-equipment environments. The 10-pack format is particularly well-suited for IT departments, production studios, or anyone standardizing cable infrastructure across multiple workstations, offering Monoprice's characteristic value without sacrificing signal quality or build reliability.
