Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 2.1a Cable
This VESA certified cable connects laptops with Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2/1 to standard DisplayPort monitors, televisions or projectors. It supports bi-directional transmission so a DisplayPort source can also drive a Mini DisplayPort display. The cord is built to the DisplayPort 2.1a specification with HBR3 bandwidth of 80 Gbps. It is suited for professionals and gamers who need high resolutions on external screens.
Plug-and-play installation
No drivers are required; simply connect the Mini DisplayPort end to the source or display and the full-size DisplayPort end to the counterpart. The bi-directional design works both from Mini DisplayPort laptops to DisplayPort screens and from DisplayPort computers to Mini DisplayPort displays. Ensure the Mini DisplayPort port on your laptop supports DP Alternate Mode for video output. A loose connection on either end can cause signal dropouts at the highest refresh rates.
Verify port types and resolution needs before
Confirm your source device has a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2/1 port and your display has a full-size DisplayPort input, or vice versa for the reverse direction. Check that your graphics hardware and monitor support the target resolution and refresh rate such as 16K at 60 Hz, 8K at 120 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz. The cable is backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0 but maximum performance requires 2.1a capable hardware on both ends.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the cable is delivering 16K at 60 Hz after connecting it?
Check your display settings to confirm 15360×8640 resolution at 60 Hz, ensure HDR10 or Dolby Vision is active, and test with a high-motion game to validate G-Sync or FreeSync operation.
What comes in the box and do I need any adapters for Thunderbolt 2 or 1 ports?
The package contains the 2 m bi-directional Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 2.1a cable only; no separate adapters are required for Thunderbolt 2 or 1 because the Mini DP connector is natively compatible.
Which version should I choose if my monitor only supports 4K at 240 Hz?
This single 2 m cable already supports 4K at 240 Hz along with 8K at 120 Hz and 16K at 60 Hz, so it covers your monitor’s maximum capability without needing a different model.
