Choose for the actual job

Carry DisplayPort video/audio over a 30m route while retaining the requested compression and timing conditions.

ConstructionDocumented

Hybrid AOC with optical video cores, shielded copper control conductors, aramid reinforcement and latching connectors.

Evidence: C983A

Fallback / lower modesConditional

Lower DP modes must be supported by both endpoints; a version label alone does not establish an arbitrary mode, adapter chain or DP++ conversion.

Evidence: C983A

Environment and handlingConditional

The manufacturer states CMP plenum jacket. A qualified installer must still check the actual route, country, building requirements and product documentation.

Evidence: C983A

Worked selection example

A documented DSC-capable source and display requesting 8K60 require DSC end to end for this published example. If DSC support is missing, do not reuse that example as an uncompressed promise.

Common confusion: The 32.4Gbps cable headline does not mean every 8K60 color-depth combination is uncompressed.

Next check: Confirm exact DSC support, timing/color depth and input version at both devices, then check orientation and retained connector clearance.

Source-documented example; no hardware test

Capability ledger

Six questions kept separate

DataDocumented

EDID and HDCP control use copper in the hybrid construction; general USB peripheral data is not established.

Evidence: C983A

Power / chargingDocumented

Manufacturer documentation says no external power is required. The display still needs its own supply.

Evidence: C983A

VideoConditional

DP1.4/HBR3, 32.4Gbps stated. The page separates uncompressed 4K120 4:4:4 8-bit from DSC-compressed 8K60/4K240 4:4:4 8-bit examples; endpoint DSC support remains required.

Evidence: C983A

ConversionActive

Hybrid AOC with optical video cores, shielded copper control conductors, aramid reinforcement and latching connectors.

Evidence: C983A

Length / reachDocumented

30m exact product. No universal passive DisplayPort cutoff is asserted.

Evidence: C983A

Markings / certificationConditional

Source/Display labels establish direction; etched DP1.4 identification states the manufacturer's cable specification, not installed-path capability.

Evidence: C983A

Explicit unknowns

No physical sample, electrical/optical measurement or hardware interoperability test was performed.
Confirm exact DSC support, timing/color depth and input version at both devices, then check orientation and retained connector clearance.
