Use this mini DisplayPort (DP) to mini DisplayPort cable from StarTech.com to render high-definition audiovisual content from enabled laptops or video cards to monitors. It's High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) compatible, which means it supports a bandwidth of up to 21.6 Gbps. This supports increased resolution, higher refresh rates and greater colour depth. It's also useful for multiscreen display, making it handy for screen-splicing applications.

Versatile useThis cable can be connected to Thunderbolt ports such as those in newer laptops. It's also backwards-compatible with DisplayPort 1.1 so can be used with older devices.

Is DisplayPort the same as HDMI?A DisplayPort is most often found on personal computers. It looks similar to HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) but has slightly different standards. While both enable high-definition video, a DisplayPort cable also lets you run multiple monitors from one connection rather than having to use multiple ports.

When Should I use a longer video cable vs. a video extender?
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necesary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
DisplayPort - 50 ft. (15.2m)
HDMI - 50 ft. (15.2m)
DVI - 50 ft. (15.2m)
VGA - 200 ft. (71m)
