BENFEI Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.8 Meter Cable, Mini DP(Thunderbolt Compatible) to DP Male to Male Cable Gold-Plated Cord, Supports 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz

Bought this having already tried a similar cable which wasn’t compatible and in retrospect had a vague description. This cable though had a very explicit description regards compatibility and it worked first time. The connection quality, quality of the cable, its packaging and its terminations are all good, so it was easy to set up and appears to be durable which is always good as it will last and have a good fit. I haven’t used it for sound but the display works well.

Likes: Cost; appearance of being sturdy and well made; genuine two-way comms traffic; fast delivery; works well. Smacks of quality.Dislikes: None. Just hoping it is as durable as it looks.

Works well

All seems good so far...good quality cableNeeded to connect my second pc to my monitor, which only had a mini display port available. Connected the display port to my pc and the mini display port to my monitor and all works perfect at 3840x1080 @ 144htzSo no complaints👍👍👍

My pc monitor was blinking every time someone switch the lights on or off. I thought it was the monitor initially, but seeing as I’d not had problems before I guessed it was the cable which was pretty thin so the cable insulation would have been very minimal.I bought this cable as a replacement and everything now works completely as it should : no blinking. The cable is a bit thicker than my older one but it’s by no means “very thick” and still has plenty of flexibility. Overall, great cable and good price.

I bought this hoping to squeeze a few more months / years (?) out of my older Mac Pro (Early 2009) and get 2K output to a recently replaced monitor. The monitor is equipped with HDMI, VGA and Display Ports, which I hadn't used before. After only getting 1080p through various HDMI adapters I had gathered over the years, I decided to try and find out what the Display Port could do and set out to find what cables were 2-4K compatible.It was a bit of a task sorting through cables that varied from 1080p to full 4K with various refresh rates. Then comparing compatibility with the Mac Pro (Early 2009) and also Mac OS capabilities of El Capitan 10.11.6 it was information overload.Anyway the important part is this cable instantly switched the output to 2K as soon as I plugged it into the monitor. The quality looks great although admittedly I don't know that much about various colour profiles etc.Anyway I hope this helps anyone who is trying to squeeze more time from their older Mac Pro and GPU (in this case an ATi Radeon HD 4870 512MB). I am not sure what the maximum resolution is as I only have 2K display port displays but I think if you have the right Mac OS settings I think it would be able to reach 4K.

I'd been getting frustrated by my late 2012 macmini only giving me 2560x1280 screen resolution on my 2K monitor via HDMI this meant that the aspect ratio especially of photographs was off :-(So, I did a lot of searching and discovered that was the best it could be but via the Thunderbolt it would give the full 2560x1440 resolution...Found this cable to do the job- just arrived and plugged it in to computer and monitor and WOW! it works and my computer experience is much improved :-)I'm so happy that an inexpensive cable has heked me so much :-)

I've had two of these. It seems the weak point is the cable near the plug. If you bend it even slightly too much (ie, but pushing your laptop towards the wall) you cable stops working altogether.If it's connected in a static way (eg: behind a tv or similar), you'll be happy with it. I plug my laptop into it daily, and unfortunately it's not good enough for me. It's a pity, as I liked the item and delivery time
