Display Port Active Optical Armored 4K Cable - 328ft

Ideal Use Cases

The Kramer CRS-PLUGNVIEW-DP-328 is a 328-foot active optical armored DisplayPort cable specified for 4K video. It is intended for AV routes where the source and display are separated by a substantial distance, including planned links between equipment locations and display positions. This model is most relevant when the installation specifically requires DisplayPort connectivity, 4K capability, armored cable construction, and the full 328-foot length. Before purchase, confirm that the source and destination use the required DisplayPort connection and that the cable length is appropriate for the planned route.

Why Choose This Model

This cable brings four clearly defined requirements together in one model: DisplayPort connectivity, active optical signal transport, armored construction, and a stated length of 328 feet. That combination gives system designers and installers a precise option when a short conventional cable will not fit the project layout. The CRS-PLUGNVIEW-DP-328 model identifier also makes it easier to document the selected cable in equipment schedules, installation plans, and purchasing records. Its stated 4K capability provides a clear starting point for matching it to the intended video system.

Installation and Integration

Plan the complete cable route before installation, including the distance between endpoints, access points, pathway dimensions, and the space available around the connected equipment. The 328-foot length should be checked against the actual routed distance rather than the straight-line distance between devices. Because this is an active optical cable, installers should follow all endpoint markings and installation instructions supplied with the product. Connector configuration, bend-radius limits, power requirements, and directional requirements are not provided in the available data and should be verified before the cable is pulled through a finished pathway. Armored construction does not remove the need to handle the cable and its terminations carefully. Testing the source, cable, and display together before final placement can help confirm system compatibility.

Performance Highlights

The stated video capability is 4K over DisplayPort, delivered through an active optical cable design across a 328-foot assembly. These are the central performance details available for this model. Exact bandwidth, supported refresh rates, color formats, HDR compatibility, audio support, HDCP compatibility, and supported resolution-and-refresh combinations are not specified in the supplied product information. Buyers qualifying the cable for a particular signal format should confirm those requirements against the connected source and display. This is especially important when the installation depends on capabilities beyond the basic stated combination of DisplayPort and 4K video.

What Makes It Different

The defining distinction is the combination of active optical construction and an armored cable format at a fixed 328-foot length. It is not presented as a general-purpose short DisplayPort patch cable; its specifications identify it as a purpose-selected cable for substantial connection distances. The armored construction is another explicit selection point for projects that call for that cable format. By combining the signal interface, construction type, video capability, and length in a single SKU, the CRS-PLUGNVIEW-DP-328 can be evaluated directly against an installation plan without relying on unrelated projector or display specifications.

Final Assessment

The Kramer CRS-PLUGNVIEW-DP-328 is a focused choice for a project requiring a 328-foot active optical armored DisplayPort cable with stated 4K capability. Its value lies in that exact combination rather than in unverified secondary features. It should be selected when the planned route, interface, construction requirement, and video target all match the information provided. Final system approval should include confirmation of connector type, endpoint orientation, refresh-rate needs, content-protection requirements, and any installation limitations, since those details are not included in the available source data. For correctly matched applications, this model provides a clearly identified long-distance DisplayPort cable option.
