ACT 5 m DisplayPort Cable Plug – Plug, Pin 20 Not Connected

The ACT DisplayPort cable male - male 5 metre provides a reliable wired connection for transmitting high-definition video and multichannel audio between DisplayPort-enabled devices. Designed with male DisplayPort connectors on both ends and wired so that pin 20 (power) is not connected, this 5 m cable supports common DisplayPort display setups while minimizing compatibility issues with devices that require power isolation.

Advantages

This 5 metre DisplayPort cable delivers stable signal transfer across longer distances without the need for adapters. The cable construction prioritizes signal integrity for high-resolution video and audio. Compliance with RoHS ensures reduced hazardous substances, and the cable’s design follows ACT quality guidelines for consistent performance in desktop and professional AV environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to DisplayPort monitors
• Linking graphics cards to external displays in home or office setups
• Connecting projectors or docking stations that use DisplayPort input
• AV installations requiring a 5 metre DisplayPort cable without pin 20 power connection

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: DisplayPort male to DisplayPort male
• Power pin configuration: pin 20 not connected
• Audio/video support: high-definition video and multichannel audio transmission
• Standards compliance: RoHS
• Typical use environment: desktop, office, professional AV setups

How to use

Ensure both source and display devices have DisplayPort ports and are powered off before connecting. Firmly insert one male DisplayPort connector into the source device (such as a PC graphics card or laptop) and the other into the display device (monitor, projector, or docking station). Power on the devices and select the appropriate input on the display if necessary. Because pin 20 is not connected, the cable is suitable for systems that do not rely on the power pin for accessory detection.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. If using long runs near other cables, route separately to reduce interference. Verify display resolution and refresh rate settings on your source device to match the monitor’s supported capabilities.
