Iogear Display Port Cable

This display port cable is a great value.

Connecting an Iogear 2 port KVM Switch with a Plugable USB Sharing Switch.  The two sit right next to each other, so this 6 inch cable is just right.  Be warned that a 6 cable is VERY short!

This is my third IOGEAR KVM (I started with a more basic 4-port unit several years ago, and have upgraded twice as my PC configurations have changed). I bought this one principally for the DVI monitor support; one added bonus is that the volume softkeys on my keyboard work with this model where they didn't with an older one. I haven't made use of the two shared USB ports, but everything else works great. My only caveat is that the provided cables don't have a lot of separation between the monitor and USB connections (the main body of the cable is a single line that splits into the component plugs at each end). The cables are also pretty stiff, so for one of my PCs the USB plug was being tugged on and the connection would sometimes drop. I worked around this by adding a 6-inch USB extension, and everything is fine now. The cable is probably good for most PCs, and only affected one of the units in my set-up.

This cable works. Nothing else to say; it's a cable. Display port is on the computer end, DVI on the monitor end.

This monitor has display port interface and cable included. Works well, and is a good value.

I recent;y purchased 1 IOGEAR 2-Port USB Switch. Liked it so much that I purchased 3 more. Planning to purchase another one.

This is a perfect must have. Especially since my gaming laptop didn't have a Standard Display Port and I was in a dire need more a mini display port to display port cable

There are many good monitors but the lacks the MinidisplayPort needed for a Mac. With this cable Display Port to MinidisplayPort the problem is solved. I works perfect with the maximum definition 4K 60Hz.

This dock is absolutely worth it. I have dual 1440p monitors (one Apple Thunderbolt Display and one Cinema Display), both are running perfectly at 60 hz via adapters. I keep an external SSD plugged into the 10 gbps port and get great consistent speeds. No problem getting sustained full gigabit speeds over the Ethernet port. I often get handed SD cards by my colleagues to offload media to our servers. Those transfers are fast with the UHS-II card reader. USB thumb drives are also so handed to me frequently, these get plugged in the front USB ports. All this AND I get 87 watts of power to my laptop. Now I can unplug just one cable if I have to go to a meeting or do a video call in another room. The CalDigit software that ejects everything with one click is nice as well. In short, my laptop becomes a desktop with just one cable. This is the best purchase you can make for your mac if you use it in a professional environment. If you’re on the fence, just buy it. It’s better than all other options on the market at the time of this writing (August 2020).

Which one should you be using? Both types serve the same purpose, but when you get a monitor, graphics card, or TV higher than 4K, that's when the big advantage of the Display comes in. While HDMI is still stuck at 8K, 60Hz, the Display Port is a ridiculous 8K, 120Hz or 16K, 60 Hz, so, as for SPEED, the Display Port takes the lead!. BUT...the advantages of this incredible speed and resolution, is something that most regular consumers won't see anytime soon. as they move very slowly to newer technology. The lock in teeth is great, as long as you take care of installing this cable where there would not be any possibility of someone tripping on the cable. I'm a video editor and I'm using this cable with a NVIDIA GTX 1650 D6 Ventus XS graphics card. This Pearstone Display Port cable, what I also like is that is very flexible. Some HDMI cables I have, they are very stiff, causing a bit of stress on the ports. A softer cable is always preferred for that matter. It does the job and I'm pleased.
