What is the DisplayPort cable?

For digital displays, several standards are used. One of them is called DisplayPort. The standard was founded in 2006 by the VIDEO Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and was updated twice in 2007 and 2009. The DisplayPort cable is a connector that connects to a monitor or television to a computer. For this purpose, the DisplayPort itself is, and therefore the connector on the DisplayPort cable, both significantly smaller than connectors on VGA and DVI cables, which is two previous standards. The display connector is smaller in length and width. In addition, the DisplayPort cable is simply connected than to have screws that had some older connectors. Older displays that have DVI, VGA or HDMI connectors can be connected to a computer with a display using an adapter.

Further implementation of DisplayPort technology, Mini DisplayPort, which Apple announced in 2008, allows DisplayPort connectors, which are less than those on the DisplayPort cable. Since 2010 this is a miniaturized interfaceAvailable only on Apple® computers and several Toshiba® notebooks.

DisplayPort cable length is an important aspect of powering a very high resolution. While cables that are about 6.56 feet (2 meters) may be "certified DP", in which case they will support a display with an extended graphics field with an expansion of 2560 x 1600 (WZXGA), longer cables can also support it but are not guaranteed. Depending on the situation, the DisplayPort cables can run at a distance of up to 49.21 feet (15 meters) without the need for signal boosters and without significant signal degradation. The permeability is up to 10.8 Gbps of the bandwidth.

There are several other abilities that deal with DisplayPort and DP cables that VGA and DVI do not have. This includes a cable support 49.21 feet (15 meters), as well as renewing 120 Hz, supporting cable native fiber, sound support,> 10 bit colors and powered connectors. Another available lengthThe cable is 3.6 feet (1.09 meters), 6 feet (1.83 meters), 6.3 feet (1.92 meters), 9.9 feet (3.02 meters) and 15 feet (4.57 meters).
