6-Foot Shielded DisplayPort 1.2 Cable with 4K 60Hz Support, 10.8Gbps Bandwidth, and 12-Bit Color Depth for Monitors and Displays
The C2G 24904 is a 6-foot DisplayPort 1.2 male-to-male cable that delivers 4K resolution at 60Hz with 10.8Gbps of bandwidth, 12-bit per component (36-bit per pixel) color depth, and shielded construction for reliable signal integrity between computers, graphics cards, docking stations, and DisplayPort monitors.
DisplayPort 1.2 provides significantly more bandwidth than earlier standards, supporting 4K at 60Hz with full color depth for sharp, detailed visuals on modern monitors and displays. The 10.8Gbps throughput handles demanding workflows including multi-monitor daisy-chaining on compatible displays, high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions, and professional content creation where accurate color reproduction matters. The shielded cable construction minimizes electromagnetic interference for clean signal delivery across the full 6-foot run.
Where the C2G 24904 DisplayPort Cable Fits
- Workstation and office setups connecting desktops or laptops to 4K monitors where DisplayPort 1.2 delivers the full 4K 60Hz experience with 12-bit color depth that DVI and older HDMI versions cannot match at this resolution and refresh rate
- Multi-monitor configurations using DisplayPort daisy-chaining where DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport (MST) allows a single cable from the computer to drive multiple displays in series on compatible monitors, reducing cable clutter at the workstation
- AV installations and conference rooms requiring reliable 4K display connections where the shielded construction and 10.8Gbps bandwidth deliver clean, interference-free video and audio over the 6-foot distance with a lifetime warranty
What the C2G 24904 DisplayPort Cable Delivers
- DisplayPort 1.2, 4K at 60Hz: Full 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate with 10.8Gbps of bandwidth for sharp, smooth visuals on modern 4K monitors and displays.
- 12-Bit Color Depth (36 bpp): Supports 12 bits per color component for over 68 billion colors, providing accurate gradients and professional-grade color reproduction for design, photography, and video work.
- Shielded Construction: Built-in shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for reliable signal integrity across the full 6-foot cable length in dense cable environments and AV racks.
- Male-to-Male Connectivity: Standard DisplayPort male connectors on both ends for direct connection between any DisplayPort-equipped source and display without adapters.
- Lifetime Warranty at 0.35 lb: Lightweight 6-foot cable backed by C2G's lifetime limited warranty for long-term reliability in permanent and temporary installations.
Is DisplayPort Better Than HDMI?
DisplayPort and HDMI serve different strengths depending on the use case. DisplayPort 1.2, as found in this cable, delivers 10.8Gbps of bandwidth and supports features like Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for daisy-chaining multiple monitors from a single port, which HDMI does not offer. For desktop monitors, workstations, and multi-display setups, DisplayPort is generally the preferred connection because it was designed specifically for computer-to-monitor links with higher bandwidth allocation for resolution and refresh rate. HDMI remains the standard for TVs, projectors, and home theater equipment where features like ARC (Audio Return Channel) and CEC device control matter more than multi-monitor support. For 4K at 60Hz on a desktop monitor, DisplayPort 1.2 provides a reliable, widely compatible connection with bandwidth to spare.
