Eaton P580‑006‑V4 – DisplayPort 1.4 Cable 8K 6 ft

Overview

The Eaton P580‑006‑V4 is a passive DisplayPort 1.4 cable with male‑to‑male connectors engineered for high‑definition video and audio transmission between compatible devices. It is deployed by systems, AV integrators, and IT engineers to connect DisplayPort‑equipped sources (like workstations, laptops, or media players) to displays or projectors without loss of signal integrity. The cable addresses the need for stable, high‑bandwidth video links in professional AV setups, digital signage, and high‑resolution workflows.

This cable supports the DisplayPort 1.4 specification with bandwidth sufficient for resolutions up to 8K (7680 × 4320) at 30 Hz using 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. It also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR), 36‑bit color depth, and HDCP 2.2 content protection, ensuring compatibility with modern UHD sources and displays. Connector plating and shielding are designed to maintain signal quality by reducing EMI/RFI interference.

At 6 ft (≈ 1.8 m) length, it is suitable for rack‑mount AV racks, conference rooms, and workstation setups where moderate cable runs are required without compromising performance. The passive design requires no external power or signal boosters, making it plug‑and‑play for compliant DisplayPort sources and sinks.

The latching DisplayPort connectors provide secure mechanical retention, preventing unintended disconnection during equipment moves or when accessed in dense rack or furniture installations. This design benefit enhances stability in AV deployments where movement or vibration could otherwise compromise the link.

In typical deployment, the P580‑006‑V4 connects a DisplayPort output on a PC, workstation, media player, or digital signage controller to a DisplayPort‑equipped monitor, projector, or AV receiver. It accommodates HDR workflows and UHD previews where high resolution and color fidelity are required.

This cable is not suitable for active signal conditioning; it cannot extend beyond the standard passive length without repeaters or active extenders, and it does not include configurations for multi‑stream transport (MST hubs) beyond the source and sink connection.
