2. Setup Instructions

The YOJOCK DisplayPort 1.4 cable is designed for simple plug-and-play functionality, requiring no additional drivers for most operating systems.

2.1 Connecting Your Devices

1. Identify Ports: Locate the DisplayPort output on your source device (e.g., laptop, PC, gaming console) and the DisplayPort input on your display device (e.g., monitor, TV).
2. Connect Cable: Insert one end of the YOJOCK DisplayPort cable into the DisplayPort output of your source device.
3. Connect to Display: Insert the other end of the cable into the DisplayPort input of your display device. Ensure both connections are secure.
4. Power On: Power on both your source device and your display. The display should automatically detect the signal.

If the display does not automatically detect the signal, you may need to manually select the DisplayPort input on your monitor or TV using its on-screen display (OSD) menu.

3. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the DisplayPort cable facilitates various display modes depending on your operating system and graphics card settings.

3.1 Display Modes

• Mirror Mode: Duplicates your primary display onto the secondary display. Useful for presentations or sharing content.
• Extended Mode: Extends your desktop across multiple displays, providing more screen real estate for multitasking.
• Spliced Mode: Combines multiple displays into a single, larger virtual display, often used for immersive gaming or professional applications.

You can configure these display modes through your operating system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Preferences).

Image 3.1: This image illustrates the three primary display modes supported: Mirror Mode, which duplicates the screen; Extended Mode, which expands the desktop across multiple screens; and Spliced Mode, which combines multiple displays into one large virtual screen for enhanced viewing or gaming.

  • Verify that your display is set to the correct DisplayPort input source.
  • Try connecting the cable to a different DisplayPort on your graphics card or monitor, if available.
  • Restart your computer and monitor.
• Flickering or Intermittent Signal:
  • Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors.
  • Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or under excessive tension.
  • Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.
  • Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your display settings to see if the issue persists.
• Resolution/Refresh Rate Not Detected:
  • Confirm that both your graphics card and monitor support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
  • Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
  • Access your display settings on your computer to manually configure the resolution and refresh rate.

6. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan and ensure optimal performance of your DisplayPort cable.

• Handle with Care: Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors. The braided design provides durability, but extreme stress can still cause damage.
• Clean Connectors: Periodically inspect the gold-plated connectors for dust or debris. If necessary, gently clean them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a clean, dry place, ideally coiled loosely to prevent kinks.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the cable to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect its material integrity.
