StarTech.com 6ft Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - M/M - mDP to DP 1.2 Adapter Cable - Thunderbolt to DP w/ HBR2 Support (MDP2DPMM6), Black

Not much to say about the cable, other than it works very nicely! Currently got it plugged into my custom laptop rig to my 1440p monitor. It feels high quality and it fits in my cable draw. It's nice to have backups of cables in case the one you're using currently breaks or malfunctions. I've always used StarTech for its liableness and none of their products I've owned have been faulty. Highly recommend if you like quality cables!

The cable arrived quickly and I was soon eager to try linking my PC Tower to my 27inch Imac (No Thunderbolt). It worked like a charm, I have no issues at all with the product and I'm taking full advantage of a PC Gaming Rig alongside a beautiful Apple 27inch Display.The cable runs smoothly in my experience and I am playing games in full Resolution.The only downside is that the wire can be seen as a little short (It's 2ftish..) so anyone with a big desk like me or who puts their PC tower under their desk may need to re adjust things.It's a shame the Mac has to run in the background, but it is also an advantage in that you can quickly flick between the 2 using keypad shortcuts.All in all an excellent cost effective solution to buying a new monitor!

I researched this a fair bit as I was getting frustrated with some other 'cheap' DisplayPort cables I've purchased in the past. And the good news is that this cable works perfectly with my MacBook Pro 15 (Early 2014) and my 4K monitors (even running them all at the same time):BenQ BL3201PTSamsung U24E590DSamsung U28E590DIt supports full 4K UHD at 60hz over DisplayPort 1.2 with no issues.I have also tested it under a 'stressed' environment of running all three monitors as well as the MacBook's retina display - and all fine (part from the MacBook's GPU getting a bit warm!).I'm very happy with the build quality and I have not had the sort of issues that I've experienced with other cheap/generic displayport cables (such as temporary signal loss, flickering etc..)Also tested on a MacBook Air 11 (2015) and works great too.Recommended!

Connected: Gainforce GTX970 (mini-display port) to an ultra wide (full DisplayPort) Asus monitor (2560 x 1080)Does it work near a mobile phone?--------------------------------------------------I've suffered no interference on my monitor from my mobile which lives on the desk next to it.How it works for me?-----------------------------Flawlessly.Concerns over cable quality:---------------------------------------------Collective negative reviews paint a picture of a thin, weedy cable that's badly manufactured. I'm not sure how they decide if it's a "quality" cable or not. Like me, no doubt the only basis some "Mr B Hornet-Face from Wolverhampton" has as a basis for comparison on any electrical lead is an average each of our brains has made over all the years of all (or lack of) cables we've handled. Before a review can be written or the physical item be bought in a shop we must have an internal purchasing conversation to decide that. For me and a cable (and 99.5% of all reviewers no doubt) it generally goes:Q: Is it a bit thicker than usual?A. Yes. Its just shy of a thin-ish worm.Q. Have you read the product specification to ensure it will complete the job you want to use it for?A. No, that's what asking a question is for.Q. Are you sure the bits on each end are the correct ones you need to connect your items? (If not, see the Questions footnote).A. Yes.Q. Are the ends gold with a fully-complete black wire connecting them? Gold must be seen or at least mentioned somewhere.A. Yes everything looks visually complete. I see gold.Q: When you bend it can you feel the internal wires folding and bursting in an attempt to get out? (refer to cheap eBay ethernet cable purchase for practical example)A. No. I can't feel the wires inside at all even if I make quite a tight turn. It also has the necessary resistance to force ratio I like to have when making such a bend.Q. Inspect the cable where the bend just was. Are there any visual marks it was ever bent?A. No, looks new still. I'm happy with it's overall bendiness.Q. Does it feel more rubbery than it does plastic-y?A. Yes. Yes it does. My fingers like it.Q. Is it lighter than you expected?A. Oooh no, there's definitely some grammage there.Q. As per the "standard cable budget" does it cost less than £8.99 (please note for most cables at the top end of that bracket should be at least 3m in length but ideally 5m)A. Yes, it's only 1.8m in length but as it's on sale it's now firmly back in the "good value" category.Q. Do you have any technical knowledge of cable manufacturing techniques or processes, anything to do with any part of the internal componentry used within this cable or indeed have any idea what's in the black wire at all let alone having the merest inkling of how it magically connects and works those twos items on each end of it?A. No, none whatsoever.Result: Good enough. Get it in the basket.Further notes on questions (like resolution capabilities):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------If I'm not sure, instead of googling my Product Model and checking the resolution under a heading likely called "Resolution" I'd rather get someone else to answer it for me. I'll just post the 318th question about what resolution it can handle rather than reading the supplied product description of the cable which clearly states anything up to and including 4k @ 60hz over DIsplayPort 1.2 and gives the maximum pixel rate for 4k if you aren't sure what that maximum actually is. (So "Yes", either your PC/Macs gpu or monitor/screen combination will be the bottleneck not the cable). As a question-asker I may or may not even return the topic at a later date. If I do get the right answer that is found to be correct I also won't vote it up as a solution/helpful answer. I'm also aware when asking a question this could get me the correct answer but will also attract the Guessers, the Ill-Informed (it is possible to become a member of both with a single answer) and my favourite group, the Clueless who provide such (real and actually posted) answers of:"I don't know, I don't own one. Sorry".To respond to a question on a product you have zero knowledge on and don't even own is also beyond me let alone why you think your input is in any way helpful to that person or any of the subsequent 100s of people who will read it for all eternity who do like to read the Questions section to find the answer themselves before they also post the same or at best slight variation of the question over and over.Like many others after me, I thank you for making our lives shorter.

I bought this so I could use my IBM laptop T410 with my 2010 27" Imac, in Target Mode.I had bought many cables previous to this, for my old IBM laptop, that did not work. You need to check carefully if the video card on the computer you are plugging into the IMac supports the IMac screen.The thing to understand is that the Mini Display Port on a Mac is proprietary, and native only to the Mac, though Apple allow others to use it Royalty free. Mini Display Port is just a smaller version of "Display Port".As I had a Display Port on my IBM 410, all I needed was this lead. It works very well.Using an Imac in Target Mode, is filled with minefields. Do your research first. There isn't a lot of information out there currently.What I have discovered subsequently is: If the Laptop you are plugging into only has a serial port for screen output, you are unlikely to be able use an Imac as an extra screen for your Laptop. I've tried all types of adapters at over inflated prices. Finally I got a new Laptop, and found this lead - I got lucky.
