This USB-C to DP 2.1 cable is ideal for high-refresh gaming, content creation, and pro workflows with smooth motion and sharp detail. - DP 2.1 DP54 (UHBR13.5) 54Gbps Bandwidth: Built for DisplayPort 2.1 DP54 / UHBR13.5 performance with up to 54Gbps video bandwidth for demanding 8K and high-refresh 4K displays. Backward compatible with DP40, DisplayPort 1.4, and DisplayPort 1.2 GPUs and monitors. - Unidirectional USB-C to DP Connection: This Thunderbolt 5 to DisplayPort cable is unidirectional—connect from a USB-C/USB4/Thunderbolt 5/4 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode to a DisplayPort monitor (not for USB-C monitor input or portable USB-C monitors). Supports MST for compatible daisy-chain setups and audio including 7.1 surround (when supported). - Host & Display Requirements: To reach 8K@165Hz or 4K@480Hz, the host must output DP 2.1 over USB-C (or DP 1.4 HBR3 + DSC), and the DisplayPort monitor must support the same mode. Actual resolution/refresh depends on GPU/DP link rate, DSC, OS limits, cable length, and display specs. - Durable, Secure Fit: Reinforced build for daily use with a locking DisplayPort latch for a stable connection. Press the release button before unplugging to protect your port and ensure a secure fit for workstations, docks, and desktop monitor setups. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0G7X31GWJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,130 in USB Cables | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Brand Name | Cable Matters | | Cable Type | USB-C to DisplayPort | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connector Type | USB Type C | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 131 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 54 gigabits_per_second | | Frequency | 54000000000 hertz | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters Premium USB-C to DisplayPort 2.1 Cable - 6ft / 1.8m | | Model | 201456-BLK-6 | | Number of Pins | 24 | | Other Special Features of the Product | DP2.1 | | Part Number | 201456-BLK-6 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Gaming, Content Creation, Pro Workflows | | Special Feature | DP2.1 | | UPC | 682017357003 | | Unit Count | 6 Feet | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Cable Type:** USB-C to DisplayPort - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connector Type:** USB Type C - **Special Feature:** DP2.1 ## Images ![- Cable Matters 54Gbps USB C to DisplayPort 2.1 Cable, DP54, 6ft / 1.8m - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NSpE-lUpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with any USB-C port?** A: Only with USB-C/USB4/Thunderbolt 5/4 ports that support DisplayPort Alt Mode (video output). Charging-only or data-only USB-C ports will not output video. **Q: Will it work in reverse (DisplayPort source to USB-C monitor), or with a portable USB-C monitor?** A: No. This cable is unidirectional (USB-C source → DisplayPort display only) and is not for USB-C monitor input or portable USB-C monitors. **Q: Why can’t I get 8K@165Hz or 4K@480Hz?** A: These modes require both a host that outputs DP 2.1 over USB-C (DP54/UHBR13.5) and a DisplayPort monitor that supports the same mode. Otherwise it will fall back to a lower mode (often via DSC). **Q: I’m getting “No Signal” or flickering—what should I check first?** A: Set the monitor to the correct DisplayPort input, update GPU drivers/firmware, reseat both ends, and avoid adapters/docks that may not support the required DP bandwidth. **Q: My DisplayPort connector won’t unplug easily—is something wrong?** A: This cable has a locking DisplayPort latch. Press the release button before unplugging to protect the port. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent picture quality and reliable connection *by J***L on July 23, 2026* This cable feels well made and delivers a strong, stable signal without flickering or random disconnects.
