DisplayPort Cables is a digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers. It was standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association.

DisplayPort Cables is the first display interface to rely on packetized data transmission. This is a form of digital communication found in technologies such as Ethernet, USB, and PCI Express.

It permits the use of internal and external display connections, and unlike legacy standards that transmit a clock signal with each output.

The protocol is based on small data packets known as micro packets, which can embed the clock signal within the data stream. Which means it allows for higher resolution using fewer pins.

The use of data packets also makes DisplayPort extensible. Meaning additional features can be added over time without significant changes to the physical interface.

DisplayPort Cables can be used to transmit audio and video simultaneously. Although each is optional and can be transmitted without the other. The video signal path range from six to sixteen bits per color channel. And the audio path can have up to eight channels of 24-bit, 192 kHz PCM audio that is uncompressed.

A bi-directional, half-duplex auxiliary channel carries device management and device control data for the Main Link. Such as VESA EDID, MCCS, and DPMS standards. In addition, the interface is capable of carrying bi-directional USB signals.

DisplayPort Cables was designed to replace VGA, FPD-Link, and Digital Visual Interface. It is backward compatible with other interfaces, such as HDMI and DVI, through the use of either active or passive adapters.
