Hello,

I need a bidirectional Mini Displayport to Displayport cable @ 144 Hz for my Monitor.

I recently saw these two cables but don’t know which one to choose:

and

Could you please explain to me what the differences are??

THX

Hi Idm74,

The first link is a MALE mini-Displaypoprt to MALE displayport.

The second one is an Extender cable, FEMALE mini-Displayport to MALE Displayport.

You need this one:

CAC-1115 has a male Mini DisplayPort connector. It is certified by VESA DisplayPort. It should be able to connect directly between your computer and display.

CAC-1120 has a female Mini DisplayPort connector. It is not certified but the quality is probably good enough. It requires a Mini DisplayPort cable to connect between this cable and the display – having two cables chained together can lower quality.

Get the CAC-1115 unless you have a special use case for the CAC-1120.
