Connect Mini DP laptops to 8K monitors

This cable links laptops and desktops with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 port to external displays that use a full-size DisplayPort connector. It carries video up to 8K at 60 Hz and supports bi-directional transmission so either end can act as the source. The 3.3 ft length suits typical desk setups.

Bandwidth and resolution limits

Rated at 32.4 Gbps HBR3, the cable handles 8K at 60 Hz, 5K at 60 Hz, 4K at 144 Hz or 120 Hz, and 2K at 240 Hz. It is backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0, so older monitors still work at their native capabilities.

Suits high-refresh gaming and MacBook users

Gamers needing 4K at 144 Hz or 2K at 240 Hz with G-Sync, FreeSync, VRR and DSC 1.2 will benefit. MacBook owners with Mini DP or Thunderbolt 2 ports can drive 8K or high-refresh external screens. Buyers whose devices only have USB-C without DisplayPort alt-mode or who need longer runs should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

What does 8K at 60 Hz actually deliver when I plug this cable into my laptop and monitor?

You get a 7680 x 4320 image refreshed 60 times per second, provided both the source and the display support that mode.

How does the DisplayPort 1.4 link limit what resolutions and refresh rates I can run?

The 32.4 Gbps HBR3 bandwidth caps you at 8K 60 Hz, 5K 60 Hz, 4K 144 Hz or 2K 240 Hz; higher combinations need compression or a newer standard.

What physical space do the Mini DisplayPort and full-size DisplayPort plugs need behind my devices?

One end uses the compact Mini DP connector found on many laptops and MacBooks, the other uses the standard DP plug; both are straight, low-profile mouldings that sit flush to the port.
