STARTECH DP2MDPMF6IN 6in DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort Cable Adapter M/F

Connect Mini DisplayPort monitors to full-size

This six-inch adapter links a standard DisplayPort output to a Mini DisplayPort display, letting Apple Cinema Displays and similar panels work with full-size ports. The male DisplayPort plug and female Mini DisplayPort jack provide a direct connection without an extra cable. Molded latching connectors hold the link firmly against accidental pulls. The short length keeps desks tidy in tight workspaces.

DisplayPort 1.2 caps resolution and refresh rate

Built to the DisplayPort 1.2 specification, the adapter passes video signals up to that standard's maximum bandwidth. It does not add features or bandwidth beyond what the 1.2 link provides. Longer runs or higher-performance displays may need an active converter or a different cable type. The passive design means signal quality depends on the source and display electronics.

PVC jacket and nickel-plated contacts for daily use

The 0.2-inch outside diameter cable uses a PVC jacket and 32 AWG conductors inside a 19-conductor layout. Nickel-plated terminals resist corrosion through repeated mating cycles. The 0.8-inch maximum connector envelope fits beside other ports on crowded I/O panels. Strain-relief moulding protects the solder joints where the cable meets each connector. Weighing 0.90 oz, it adds negligible mass to the link.
