DisplayPort cables are the choice for professional gamers using advanced monitors. They offer high bandwidth and features such as Adaptive Sync, which translates into smoother gameplay.

The USB cables in our range are used to charge controllers, connect external drives and various gaming accessories. From classic USB-A to modern USB-C, we have everything you need. Power cables provide reliable power to your console, which is the foundation of the safety of your entire gaming station.

Which type of console cable to choose – matching your equipment

Choosing the right cable for your console is key to unlocking the full potential of your equipment. You no longer need to waste time waiting and wondering which cable will be suitable – here are some specific tips.

• The PlayStation 5 requires an HDMI 2.1 cable to take full advantage of 4K at 120Hz. You need USB-C for the DualSense controller, and the whole thing is powered by a suitable power cable with an IEC plug.

• The Xbox Series X/S also works best with HDMI 2.1, which supports VRR and ALLM for optimal image quality. Controllers and accessories can be connected via USB, and the console requires a standard power cable.

• The Nintendo Switch in stationary mode uses HDMI via a docking station. You need USB-C to charge the console itself. It is a compact set that you can easily take with you on a journey.

• The PlayStation 4 works great with a High Speed HDMI cable, which provides 1080p or 4K images for the Pro version. DualShock 4 controllers are charged via micro USB.

• Older consoles and retro gaming are the domain of VGA and DVI cables. If you are connecting classic devices to older monitors, these cables will ensure compatibility.

• A gaming PC offers the greatest flexibility – you can choose between DisplayPort and HDMI depending on your monitor. DisplayPort works better at high refresh rates.

The quality of Akyga® cables – what to look for

As a manufacturer, Akyga® focuses on quality, which directly translates into your gaming experience. You are not someone who settles for just anything, are you? Our cables will meet your expectations.

• Gold-plated connectors are not a luxury, but a practical solution. Gold does not oxidise, which guarantees a stable signal for years of use. This reduces the risk of image loss by approximately 50% compared to unprotected connectors.

• Cable shielding eliminates electromagnetic interference that can cause screen artefacts or signal interruptions. This is particularly important in setups with multiple electronic devices.

• The durable braid protects against mechanical damage. Frequent connecting and disconnecting of the cable? No problem – the Akyga® design can withstand intensive use.

• Certificates and standards guarantee compatibility. Our HDMI cables meet HDMI standards, and our USB cables comply with official specifications, eliminating connection issues.

• The cables offered by Akyga are usually 1-3 metres long – the optimal range for most configurations. For HDMI 2.1, we recommend cables up to 5 metres long to avoid signal degradation.

How to correctly connect cables to your console – a practical guide

Correct cable connection is essential for trouble-free gaming. A few simple rules will help you avoid frustration and enjoy uninterrupted gaming.

• Start connecting the HDMI cable with the console switched off. Insert the plug into the HDMI OUT port on the console and the other end into the HDMI input on the television. Select the port marked "Game Mode" or HDMI 2.1, if your television has it - this will ensure the lowest latency.

• The power cable configuration requires attention to safety. First connect the cable to the console, then to the power socket. Avoid low-quality extension cords and splitters – a stable power supply protects against power surges.

• USB connections for controllers and accessories are straightforward—simply match the plug to the port. Keep in mind that the USB ports on the front of the console are often used for charging, while the rear ports offer full data throughput.

• Cable organisation affects the aesthetics and functionality of your workstation. Use cable ties or ducts to prevent cables from becoming tangled.

• Troubleshooting - no picture? Check that the cable is properly connected to both sockets. Interference may indicate damage to the cable or that the cable is too long.

• Maintenance of connections involves periodically cleaning the plugs with a dry cloth and checking the condition of the cables for kinks or abrasions.
