Hi Leventelenior,

I doubt the MSTs are designed to be put in a KVM switch.

Which MST, KVM, Displays, input GPU do you use? (modelnumbers) Resolutions?

Hi Aaramirez,

I have no idea why a cable like this would cause these issues at all.  Have you spoken with MSI about this yet? Sounds like the “handshake” does not stay when the monitor goes asleep.

Also, why not just use the DP cable? The USB-C doesn’t bring anything extra in the resolutions afaik.

I think I misunderstood you or misread your question.

I was replying to the CAC-1332’s micro USB power input :).

USB-C always has USB 2.0 data transfer, but on the CAC-1332 it has no function. And if the adapter supports 4K60Hz don’t you agree it needs all 4 lanes of the USB-C?

Hi MichaellsMe,

I’m trying to understand this correctly.

You are trying to connecting a PC and a Notebook to the hub?

Hi Aaramirez,

Did you update the GTX1080s Firmware since you bought it? (not drivers)

The sound occurs because the screen loses power. See it as if you connect a phone and disconnect it again. Windows simply sees it as a USB device I think.

Does it also happens when you use a normal 1.4DP cable?

Hi Franzord,

That is a valid question. To answer it, it is USB Type A. so you need to connect it to a Type-A.

And it is backward compatible.

Depends what you want. The CAC-1010 is sold with HDCP on. If you want it OFF you need to purchase the CAC-1010 and mail [email protected] afaik

Maybe you can find that answer on HDMI it self.

Bare in mind that the adapter is an Active adapter and this might have influence on the signal over the length… But I think the 5 meter might work… but then again it might not. I don’t know hah just try it 🙂

[Baak]

Not anymore, changed to RX 5700 XT.

Simply put, I was able to select 4K 120Hz, no gsync, 12 bits. HDR I can not remember.

 

[Baak]

I would not try to go over the max 2 meters if they say.

I got it to work on my old 1060 6GB and LG C9. But I don’t know if you can get it to work as well.

They dont promote it on these older cards… but if you dont try you would not know.

[Baak]

It? the drivers or the CAC-1080? 🙂

[Baak]

It’s a 10 year old screen, out of curiosity why are you still using it?

Technically it should work.

[Baak]

I believe so yes, but you can request a firmware update from support to turn it either on or off.

Hi Kobss,

Can you try the following settings on your PC;

Chroma 420 10bit. This should enable you 8K 60Hz. The bandwidth of DP1.4 is lower than HDMI2.1. I geuss this is the issues. Assuming you are using a certified HDMI2.1 cable no longer than 2 meters with the adapter.

[Baak]

No problem Lensmann,

DP versions have very much to do with the cables. If you connect a DP1.2 version cable between DP1.4 input and output. You will only get DP1.2 Bandwith.

A DisplayPort cable is not just a DisplayPort cable.

Good luck with the DP8K cable, let me know the outcome 🙂
