VESA Announces DP8K Certified DisplayPort Cables
 

Along with the announcement that work has begun on a new DisplayPort standard, the VESA this week is also announcing that they have launched a new certification program for cables, which they are dubbing DP8K. As indirectly hinted at by the name, DP8K cables guaranteed to support DisplayPort's HBR3 signaling mode, which in turn is required to support 8K monitors under the current DisplayPort 1.4 standard. With the new certification program, the association is looking to lay the groundwork for wider DisplayPort 1.4 adoption, as 8K displays and high refresh rate 4K displays that use the standard are expected to begin shipping this year.
