Sumitomo Electric Achieves High-Precision Transmission at 80 Gbps over 3.0 m with DisplayPort 2.1 Support —DP80LL Cable Obtains Standard Certification

Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. announced on December 3, 2025, that it has obtained standard certification*1 for its DP80LL cable (3.0 m), which supports DisplayPort 2.1.

DisplayPort is a digital video and audio interface standard established by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).*2 The latest DisplayPort 2.1 standard maintains backward compatibility with previous versions while supporting high-resolution 8K and 16K video output and faster refresh rates. High-speed transmission cables are essential for the latest displays and PC peripherals to deliver their full performance.

Our DP80LL cable supports the fastest data transmission rate in the DisplayPort standard, 80 Gbps, and achieves high-precision data transmission even at a maximum length of 3.0 m thanks to its low attenuation characteristics. The DP80LL cable is significantly longer than conventional DP80 cables (1.0 m), enabling stable connections between devices installed at greater distances.
