Vention DisplayPort Cable 1.5M Black (HACBG)

The Vention HACBG is a 1.5-meter DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable designed to connect computers, laptops, and graphics cards directly to DisplayPort monitors with high-bandwidth video transmission. This cable serves students building multi-monitor study setups and business professionals requiring reliable connections for graphics-intensive work or high-refresh-rate displays.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Bandwidth Capacity: Supports DisplayPort 1.2 standard with sufficient bandwidth for 4K video at 60Hz, delivering smooth visuals for video editing, gaming, or detailed spreadsheet work without lag or stuttering.
• Bi-Directional Design: Works in either direction between two DisplayPort devices, offering flexibility for various connection scenarios unlike unidirectional adapter cables.
• 1.5-Meter Optimal Length: Provides 4.9 feet of reach—long enough for desktop tower-to-monitor connections while minimizing excess cable that creates desk clutter in compact workspaces.
• Locking Connector Mechanism: Features secure latching clips on both ends that prevent accidental disconnection during movement, particularly valuable in shared office hot-desking environments or busy student workstations.
• Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Ready: Supports daisy-chaining multiple monitors from a single DisplayPort output when used with MST-compatible displays, simplifying cable management for multi-screen productivity setups.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students: The Vention HACBG cable connects laptops to external DisplayPort monitors for extended screen real estate during research projects or coding assignments. The 60Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution ensures smooth scrolling through lengthy documents and clear rendering of detailed diagrams or CAD models for engineering students.

For Business Professionals: This cable supports professional workflows requiring color accuracy and high resolution, including graphic design, financial modeling with multiple spreadsheets, and video conferencing setups with crisp display quality. The locking connectors prevent embarrassing disconnections during important presentations or client calls.

Gaming and Creative Work: For students with gaming setups or creative professionals, this DisplayPort cable handles high-refresh-rate displays at lower resolutions—supporting 144Hz at 1440p for competitive gaming or smooth timeline scrubbing in video editing software like Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.

Multi-Monitor Configurations: When connected to MST-enabled monitors, you can daisy-chain additional displays from the first monitor’s DisplayPort output. This creates cleaner desk setups with fewer cables running back to your computer, though total resolution depends on your graphics card’s capabilities.

Important Notes: Ensure both your graphics card and monitor support DisplayPort 1.2 or higher to utilize the full 4K@60Hz capability. Older DisplayPort 1.1 devices will still work but may be limited to lower resolutions or refresh rates. The cable transmits both video and audio signals simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate audio cables when your monitor has built-in speakers.
