After a little research, I came across many brands, designs, and information that made the task to find the best DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable even more difficult, as there are a lot of aspects to consider. For instance, the refresh rate and screen resolution of the monitor, length of the cable, and audio pass-thru feature. In addition, you’ll also find cables that come with or without latches in the connector, and cables with or without DisplayPort certification. However, after purchasing a cable identical to the original with certification and latches, which didn’t work, I decided to go with the 10ft cables from iVanky, and despite they’re not DisplayPort certified, and they’re built without latches, these are high-quality cables. The iVanky cables comes in 10ft or 6.6ft lengths, the connectors are gold plated, slim aluminum alloy shell, and quality braided nylon housing. Although these are latch-free connectors, they stay securely connected and reduce the chances of breaking the port on your $500-$1000 graphics card. The one I’ve purchased to connect my LG 27UK650-W 27-inch 4K 60Hz monitor was the space gray 10ft cable, and it worked flawlessly. According to the specifications, the iVanky cables support DP, DP++ and DisplayPort++, and they’re designed for [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], 3440×[email protected] and [email protected]/144Hz monitors. Additionally, they are compliant with version 1.2 specifications and backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.1/1.1a/1.0. If you’re someone who is looking for affordability and quality, you can’t go wrong with the $14.99 price tag for the iVanky DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
