Hi guys,

 

Just wanted to find out the maximum cable legnth for Displayport at 2560x1440 144hz I was looking at 3-4 metres but if not I will have to re-think my plans for monitor options.

 

Cheers guys :)

I think the max certified display port cable is 5 meters. Look for something like a boosted display port cable.

I didn't realize you can get boosted DP cables, I will have a look around for them I need a DP 1.2 version for Gsync support, Thanks

3 meters is the rated max length for a copper display port cable at full bandwidth transmission. 

 

But yeah for more business/industrial uses there are active DP cables that can go as far as 33m, and fibre DP cables too for 15m. But they do of course come with a very very heavy price.

 

Also there are no DP 1.2 version cables! All DP cables run all the standards :)
