StarTech.com DisplayPort 1.2 Cable — 1 m, VESA Certified, 4K 60 Hz, 21.6 Gbps, Latching
VESA Certified DP 1.221.6 Gbps HBR2Latching connectorsLifetime warranty
The StarTech.com DisplayPort 1.2 Cable, product ID DISPL1M, is a 1 m (3.3 ft) black DP-to-DP monitor cable that is VESA Certified — tested and licensed against the DisplayPort specification rather than merely built to look like it. It carries 21.6 Gbps with HBR2 signalling, which supports 4K x 2K at 60 Hz (3840 x 2400), 3D stereo at 2560 x 1600 120 Hz, 8-channel audio, Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for daisy-chaining or splitting to multiple displays, and GTC for precise audio channel timing. The connectors are latching, so they cannot be pulled out accidentally, with ABS shells over a metal sub-structure for EMI shielding and flexible PVC strain relief. The cable is 28 AWG with aluminium-mylar foil and copper braid shielding in a CMG-rated PVC jacket. StarTech.com backs it with a lifetime warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is DisplayPort 1.2 at 21.6 Gbps (HBR2), and it is backwards compatible with DP 1.1. What that covers is 4K at 60 Hz, high-refresh output at lower resolutions, and MST for multiple monitors from one port. What it does not cover is the higher tiers: DisplayPort 1.4 features such as DSC, HDR metadata and 8K, and DP 2.0/2.1 UHBR rates, are outside its specification, so for 4K at 144 Hz or 8K you need a DP 1.4 or DP 2.1 certified cable. Note the latching connectors: they lock into the port and need the release catch pressed before removal — pulling a latching DP cable out by force is a well-known way to damage a socket. One published discrepancy worth flagging: StarTech.com’s marketing describes gold-plated connectors while its specification table lists the plating as nickel, so we are not stating a plating figure here.
Key Features
VESA Certified, not merely DP-shaped
Certification means the cable was tested against the DisplayPort specification by the standards body rather than self-declared. Uncertified DP cables are a common cause of link training failures at 4K — a screen that flickers, blanks on wake or drops to a lower resolution without explanation.
21.6 Gbps HBR2 for 4K 60 Hz
Enough bandwidth for a 4K x 2K display at 60 Hz with 8-channel audio, which is the specification the vast majority of 4K office and workstation monitors actually run at over DisplayPort.
Multi-Stream Transport (MST)
MST lets a single DisplayPort output feed more than one monitor — either daisy-chained through DP-out ports on the displays, or split with an MST hub. That is a DisplayPort capability HDMI does not have, and it needs a cable that supports it.
Latching connectors
DisplayPort has a proper mechanical latch, and this cable uses it. A monitor cable that cannot fall out of the back of a display when the desk is moved is worth more than it sounds — and it is a feature HDMI simply lacks.
ABS shell over a metal sub-structure with foil and copper braid
The metal sub-structure inside the connector shell continues the shield right up to the port, and the foil-plus-braid cable shield handles the run. At 21.6 Gbps that matters: the failure mode is not a dead cable but a marginal one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
DisplayPort is the interface to use between a computer and a monitor, and the two things worth paying for are certification and the latch. VESA Certification matters more on DP than on most interfaces because the failure mode of an out-of-specification DP cable is not a dead screen — it is link training that fails intermittently, so the monitor blanks on wake, drops resolution or flickers under load, and the graphics card gets blamed for weeks. The latch is the other half: a monitor cable that physically cannot fall out is a small, permanent improvement over HDMI in a desk that gets moved. The specification to check is the version: DP 1.2 at 21.6 Gbps is right for 4K 60 Hz and MST multi-monitor setups, and wrong if you want 4K at 144 Hz or 8K. Browse our PC monitors range for the displays this connects, and see our graphics cards section for the DisplayPort outputs it plugs into.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You are connecting a computer to a 4K 60 Hz monitor over a short run, or building an MST multi-monitor chain, and you want a VESA-certified cable that latches.
Skip it if
You need 4K at 120/144 Hz, 8K or HDR over DisplayPort — that requires a DP 1.4 or DP 2.1 certified cable, not DP 1.2.
Also consider
DisplayPort 1.4 cables for high-refresh 4K and 8K, Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables for older laptops and Macs, or DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cables for displays with no DP input.
