Desk setups in Kenya rarely place the tower right next to the screen. Accountants running dual monitors in Upper Hill, software developers at Westlands startups, and video editors working from Kilimani studios all hit the same wall: the 1.5-metre cable in the monitor box will not reach a floor-mounted PC or a wall-hung display. The UGREEN DP102 solves that with 3 metres of shielded cable that still holds a clean 4K 60Hz signal. Architects running CAD on 1440p panels, university students at Strathmore and JKUAT building study rigs, and cyber cafe operators wiring multiple stations get the same reach without stepping down to a lower refresh rate.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded display cables with no printed specification at all, Mascom International sells the UGREEN DP102 with its published conductor gauge, bandwidth figure, and version number stated plainly. Users consistently report that flicker, black-screen handshakes, and dropped refresh rates trace back to thin, poorly shielded cable rather than the graphics card. Walk into our Kimathi Street store Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM to test the DP102 on your own monitor, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.

The DP102 handles 4K at 3840x2160 and 60Hz, or 2560x1440 at 144Hz, over its full 3-metre length. Total bandwidth is 21.6Gbps under the DisplayPort 1.2 standard, which also covers 1920x1080 at 240Hz and 3D signal formats. Your graphics card and monitor must both support the resolution and refresh rate you want; the cable will not create capability that the hardware lacks. Check your monitor's specification sheet before assuming a 144Hz ceiling.

Yes, at 2560x1440 and below. DisplayPort 1.2 has the bandwidth headroom for 1440p at 144Hz, which covers most gaming panels sold in Kenya, including the common 24-inch and 27-inch 1080p and 1440p models. DisplayPort also carries adaptive sync, so AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync work through this cable where the monitor and card support them. For 4K gaming above 60Hz you need a DisplayPort 1.4 cable instead.

No. UGREEN rates the DP102 for 4K 60Hz at lengths up to 3 metres, and this cable sits exactly at that limit by design. The 28AWG conductor gauge and multiple internal shielding layers keep signal loss inside tolerance across the full run. Thinner 30AWG or 32AWG cable at the same length is where sparkles, flicker, and handshake failures usually begin. Anything beyond 3 metres in 4K generally needs an active or fibre-optic cable.

Yes. DisplayPort moves audio and video together over one cable, so a monitor with built-in speakers or a 3.5mm headphone output receives sound directly from the graphics card. No separate audio lead is needed. Select the monitor as your playback device in Windows sound settings, or in System Settings on Linux, and audio routes automatically. This matters for anyone running Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls through a desktop tower and monitor combination.

Yes, in two ways. Plug a separate DP102 into each DisplayPort output on your graphics card, which is how most Kenyan trading desks and design studios run dual or triple screens. Alternatively, DisplayPort 1.2 supports Multi-Stream Transport, letting compatible monitors daisy-chain from one card output. AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround also let you treat several panels as one continuous workspace for spreadsheets, timelines, and CCTV viewing walls.

Any device with a full-size DisplayPort socket at both ends: desktop graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD, business towers like the HP Pro Tower 400 G9 and Dell OptiPlex 7010, docking stations, and most 24-inch and larger monitors from Dell, HP, LG, Samsung, and ASUS. Laptops with only USB-C or Mini DisplayPort need an adapter, which Mascom International stocks separately. HDMI-only televisions are not compatible with this cable.

DisplayPort 1.2 carries 21.6Gbps against HDMI 1.4's 10.2Gbps, which is why 1440p at 144Hz works here and often fails over older HDMI cable. DisplayPort also handles adaptive sync more reliably on PC graphics cards and supports daisy-chaining that HDMI does not offer. The locking latch stops accidental disconnection when a tower is nudged under a desk. For televisions and consoles, HDMI remains the correct choice.

At KSh 2,000 the DP102 costs more than a KSh 600 market-stall cable, and the difference shows in three measurable places: a stated 28AWG conductor gauge, multiple shielding layers, and a published 21.6Gbps rating. Unbranded cable rarely lists any of these. A failed cable that black-screens mid-presentation at KICC or drops a client Zoom call costs far more than the price gap. UGREEN also backs its cables through a registered regional channel.

The UGREEN DP102 DisplayPort Cable 3m carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled directly at our Nairobi CBD service desk, with no courier return to a distant centre required. Physical damage from crushing, cutting, or forcing the locking latch falls outside coverage.

Order through any of the following:

Every unit is covered by the 6-month warranty stated above, with claims coordinated at our Nairobi CBD service desk. Buyers across Kenya rely on Mascom International for accurate specifications, current Kenyan market pricing, and direct after-sales backing on every display cable, adapter, and accessory we stock.
