This is better but I think there is still room for improvement. Is there a material change between DP40 and DP80 cables? I am guessing most people will want DP80 to avoid any issues and prevent rebuying cables due to future upgrades. Maybe there is length restrictions that DP40 exceeds compared to DP80 thus we have two cables instead of one.

If the cable is too long to be certified DP80, it won't be marked DP80.

I am thrilled Display Port folks are trying to help us when we buy cables. The HDMI guys don't care. They are actually helping the manufacturers Con Us by saying "It is HDMI 2.1".. but it is not 48mbps, because 2.1 no longer means that, (but then again.. it might...who knows). This just sells more stuff because you might not be buying what you need because they are no longer Marked with the actual specs.

What confusion is there with HDMI 2.1 cables? The issue is with the devices (and which features they support), not the cables.

Agree there is always room for improvement
