How many MS (or less than MS) of latency does a 10 foot DisplayPort cable add compared to a 6 foot?

[Michael Rahmani]

I just bought a 10 foot Displayport cable for my 144hz monitor and now I am worried about the latency it will add.

Why in first place you would get a 10foot cable?

The store didn't have any 6 feet cables left in stock and 3 feet was too small.

A tiny fraction of a millisecond. Completely negligible.

Where do you live?

Btw eBay could be the answer

well, depends on the velocity factor of the cable you're using. use that number to divide by the speed of light in a vacuum, and calculate how long it takes for the calibrated velocity of light through the cable to travel 2 feet.

 

Just so you understand, this will be a purely academic discussion as the facts will plainly be evident. it will be to the -n'th power in fractional seconds.

It will add latency that is only measurable with equipment that is at least 3000 times the price of that cable.

Yeah that's more like, would it take 200 or 250 kilometers of cable to add one millisecond of latency.

The data is being transferred at the speed of light (copper) and 70% of spped of light (fiber)

Summary: doesnt matter

Cable length doesn't affect latency.
