Overview

The Monoprice 106006 is a 3-foot Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable designed for simple, reliable video and audio connectivity between devices with either port type. Its bi-directional design is a genuine convenience—whether you are connecting a MacBook's Mini DisplayPort output to a full-size DisplayPort monitor or routing a DisplayPort signal into a Mini DP input, a single cable handles both scenarios. The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion over time, while the pure copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the length of the cable.

Supporting DisplayPort 1.1 with a maximum bandwidth of 8.64 Gbps, this cable comfortably drives displays up to 2560x1600 at 60Hz, covering the needs of standard HD and WQXGA monitors. It is important to note that this spec does not support 4K at 60Hz, so users with UHD displays should look for a DisplayPort 1.2 or later cable. The 3-foot length keeps desk setups tidy and minimizes cable clutter, though it does require your devices to be in close proximity. For budget-conscious buyers who need a dependable Mini DP to DP connection at standard resolutions, this Monoprice cable delivers solid construction and performance at a fraction of premium brand pricing.
