Cable Matters 4K Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 6ft, Supports 4K@60Hz / 2K@144Hz, Mini DP to DP Cable, Black

Good quality

Great fast shipping, item packaged well and no damage found. Amazon listed this product with the highest ratings and it looks to be that good. This was a great upgrade from the 6 ft cable I have been using and stretching the cable too far to reach the computer. This one works great and fits so much better. Other reviewers stated they did not like the click shut button on the display port. I like it because it locks it into place so your monitor cable can't accidently become unplugged from the monitor. Fortunately, my monitor design lets me easily connect and disconnect the ports really easily. I tested it out on some games to see if it might flicker, but it came back good unlike some other display port cables I've tried. It also runs 2K videos just fine too.

I bought these to extend the distance of my linkbox for my Vive Pro VR Headset. It has worked great so im not as limited to how far i need to be away from my PC while in VR.

Connected a Laptop's DP port to the HDMI port on a 2560x1600 monitor. Has been working fine for many months now. Cable quality is good.

Does what is needed, bought some before couldn't find them needed some quick, so got these as they were in the middle on price and what I needed, normally I make sure they are certified as I spent 100's on display port cables the 1st time due to them being shotty and hard to make apparently in 2012/13 and found that only a few company's were certified cables and that was a known issue with the exact system and dock model plus configuration I was using and it only took months to find this out and then look for cables with the certification that weren't 100$ each. Those weren't even Thunderbolt not sure if these are like the one's I got the year before were TB3 I think these say 2, but for the price I'd be suppressed if they are certified w both DP and TB

Updated Review : I originally reviewed this as 1 star as the cable stopped working with about 4months of use. I contacted Cable Matters and with very little information they quickly shipped me out a new cable within no more than a week. The new cable resolved the issue which does prove the first cable did go bad. I can understand all sorts of items can have defective units and what really matters at that point is what the company does with it. I am glad they quickly resolved the issue and even checked in to see if it resolved my issue. Great customer service. If this new replacement fails I will update my review and contact them again. Lets hope this works a long time. THANK YOU CABLE MATTERS!!Original Review : Lasted about 4months. I thought my monitor or MacBook Pro might be the issue and I was able to test the display port both out of the Macbook and the Display Port into the monitor and they work with other cables and devices so I know this is the cable. I currently am using the same mini DP output out of my Macbook but with a old mini DP to HDMI adapter and that is working fine. To make sure it wasn't a defective DP port on the monitor I plugged it in via DP to DP to a PC so I know the DP on the monitor is functional. Bad cable at only 4months old, i will try to contact the company and see what I can get replaced. I usually don't see cables go bad so this was a shocker for me.

Work gave me an HP Z G7 Elitebook that is really picky with what HDMI cables work, some work for a few minutes then the signal disconnects and goes dark others don't work at all. I use this machine mostly closed and hook to my main screen only, gave up with HDMI and decided to test it's mini display port have not had a problem with the display signal since the change.Might be the cable might the computer, I'll give the credit to the former on this one.

After receiving some replies to my question on whether this cable can be used to connect a PC with DisplayPort to an iMac with mini DisplayPort (mid 2010 model which does this functionality) I went ahead and purchased this cable.It was with great dismay that I found out that the cable cannot be used for this function. Reading the iMac page in a bit more detail, it states that you can connect a device with a mini DisplayPort to a mini DisplayPort. While I thought that the signal type would be the same between DisplayPort and mini DisplayPort this apparently is not the case. In addition, there is a version of the GTX 680 specifically made for use with an iMAC ( model number 02G-P4-3682-KR which is sold by Amazon) which might explain why my non-iMac GTX 680 did not work.An important lesson learned is that you should be cautious when questions are answered by the Amazon community even if the people answering have bought the product (amazon sends a note to people who have purchased the product to see if they can reply to it). While the cable was only $10 and I'm not upset having bought it, for higher priced items I'll be more leery about the information given.That said, the cable itself seemed really nice. I have purchased other Cable Matters products in the past (which worked great) so I don't believe that the problem is with the cable itself.
