What this cable does

This Amazon Basics cable carries audio and video from a Mini DisplayPort source to a full-size DisplayPort display. It supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 and uncompressed 7.1, 5.1 or 2-channel digital audio. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding are built for durable signal integrity. The 6-foot length suits typical desk setups.

When to choose this link

Use this cable when a laptop, tablet or graphics card has a Mini DisplayPort output and the monitor or projector only accepts a standard DisplayPort input. It is compliant with version 1.2 specifications and works with DP, DP++ and DisplayPort++ ports. The connection is unidirectional from Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort and does not support Thunderbolt or USB-C sources.

Who this suits and who it does not

This suits owners of Mini DisplayPort-equipped PCs or older Macs who need a reliable 4K link to a DisplayPort screen. Buyers with USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports on MacBook Pro 2016 or later, MacBook Air 2018 or later, iMac 2017 or later, iMac Pro, Mac Mini 2018 or later, Mac Pro 2019 or later, iPads or iPhones cannot use this cable. Users needing a bi-directional or USB-C to DisplayPort adapter should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the low-profile connector need next to other ports?

The low-profile design keeps the connector clear of adjacent computer ports so no extra spacing is required.

Which end plugs in first to avoid a no-signal mistake?

Connect the Mini DisplayPort end to the source device and the DisplayPort end to the monitor; the cable only carries signal in that direction.

When should the cable be replaced if the gold-plated contacts wear?

Replace it if corrosion appears on the gold-plated connectors or if foil-and-braid shielding damage causes intermittent 4K 3840x2160 video or 7.1 audio loss.
