Mini DisplayPort 1.2 cable for 4K displays

This 1.5 ft cable connects a Mini DisplayPort 1.2 source to a standard DisplayPort 1.2 display. It supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 and 3D video at HBR2 bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps. The male-to-male connectors feature latching mechanisms for a secure fit. It is suited for users linking laptops or small-form-factor PCs to monitors or projectors.

Check your ports and version before ordering

Verify that your source device has a Mini DisplayPort output and your display accepts a full-size DisplayPort input. Both ends must support at least DisplayPort 1.2 to achieve 4K at 21.6 Gbps; the cable is backwards compatible with 1.1 but will run at the lower spec. Ensure the 1.50 ft length spans the gap between your devices without tension. No external power or drivers are required for operation.

Fits tight desk setups and frees longer runs

The short 1.5 ft length reduces cable clutter on compact desks or in docking stations where excess slack is unwanted. Latching connectors prevent accidental disconnects when equipment is moved or adjusted. Because it carries both uncompressed audio and deep colour video, a separate audio cable is not needed. It leaves longer DisplayPort cables available for runs that actually require the reach.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to connect a Mini DisplayPort source to a full-size DisplayPort display?

The box contains the 1.5 ft cable with a male Mini DisplayPort connector on one end and a male full-size DisplayPort connector on the other; no adapter or extra cable is required for a direct link.

How do I decide between this 1.5 ft length and a longer version for my desk setup?

Choose the 1.5 ft cable when the source and display sit close together — such as a laptop docked beside a monitor — to avoid slack; pick a longer cable only if the devices are farther apart.

What does the 21.6 Gbps bandwidth mean for the resolution and refresh rate I will actually see?

The 21.6 Gbps (HBR2) bandwidth carries uncompressed 4K at 3840x2160 and supports 3D video, so a DisplayPort 1.2 source and monitor can run at their native 4K capability without compression.
