This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your IVANKY 8K DisplayPort Cable 1.4. This VESA-certified cable is designed to deliver high-resolution video and audio performance for compatible devices.

Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. Setup Instructions

The IVANKY 8K DisplayPort Cable 1.4 is designed for direct connection between devices equipped with DisplayPort interfaces. Ensure both your source device (e.g., desktop, laptop, graphics card) and display device (e.g., monitor, TV) have DisplayPort ports.

2.1 Connecting the Cable

1. Identify the DisplayPort output on your source device and the DisplayPort input on your display device.
2. Gently insert one end of the IVANKY DisplayPort cable into the DisplayPort output of your source device.
3. Insert the other end of the cable into the DisplayPort input of your display device.
4. Ensure both connections are secure. The latch-free design allows for easy and safe disconnection without damaging ports.

Important Notes:

• This cable is a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and is not compatible with HDMI or Mini DisplayPort without appropriate adapters, which may reduce performance.
• Avoid using extensions or additional adapters as they can degrade signal quality and performance.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your IVANKY DisplayPort cable, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

5.1 No Signal or Intermittent Signal

• Check Connections: Ensure both ends of the DisplayPort cable are securely plugged into the respective ports on your source and display devices.
• Verify Input Source: On your monitor or TV, confirm that the correct DisplayPort input source is selected.
• Test with Another Cable/Port: If possible, try a different DisplayPort cable or connect to another DisplayPort on your devices to rule out port or cable defects.
• Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date.

5.2 Flickering or Distorted Image

• Reduce Resolution/Refresh Rate: Temporarily lower the display resolution or refresh rate in your operating system settings to see if the issue persists.
• Cable Length: For very high resolutions and refresh rates, longer cables can sometimes be more susceptible to interference. Ensure the cable length is appropriate for your setup.
• Interference: Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.
