I bought three of these cables, only one worked, if zero stars was an option that would be the rating. I have crawled through floor voids and routed through ceilings only to find out too late just what a pile of rubbish these are. Not only that I have travelled 200 sodding miles to install them.

Este artículo no cumple con lo prometido. Mejor comprar un repetidor de señal!

Cable works as expected. Running from a PC to a 24 inch Dell display at 60 Hz, 1920x1200 resolution. No issues. Display picture matches a 3 ft. cable with no discernible picture quality difference.

As per the title, trying to connect Mac to Cinema display over a 10m distance. How, I asked myself, given the Apple display's have built-in short cables?First I tried this passive InLine 10m DP-DP (m-m) cable:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001KW8U40Did NOT work! Likely because only PASSIVE, hence had to return to Amazon accordingly.Then I swapped the InLine passive 10m cable, for this ACTIVE Startech 10m DP-DP (m-m) cable [~£60], which works just fine (though cost nearly double unfortunately!).All in, the cables cost me nearly £100 to get the Mac to Cinema Display -- that'll teach me to use Apple display's with their built-in cables!!The set-up that worked for me, to get a Thunderbolt port (on my Mac Mini, 2012) to 27" Apple Cinema Display across a 10m distance, I used these cable set-up:Mac Mini 2012 Thunderbolt port (f)>using>Startech mDP-DP (m-f) adaptor [~£10]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0055PKO3I>to>THIS Startech Active 10m DP CABLE (m-m) [~£60]>to>Circuit Assembly DP-mDP adaptor (f-f) [~£30: £10+20 shipping -- I had to IMPORT from Circuit Assembly's US website!!](tip: make sure you only select the FEDEX shipping option at the shipping estimator stage, NOT the more expensive options later-on at final check-out, they have a minor bug there!)http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/5-inch-mini-displayport-female-to-displayport-female-coupler.html>to>27" Apple CINEMA Display**(**nb: NOT the 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, which this may or may not also work for, though obviously not allow usage of the ports on the back of its display.)Just one star knocked off for the price, which seems to fluctuate massively between £30-90 (e.g. 2 weeks before xmas 2014 it was £30, then a week before when I needed it and went to buy it had doubled to £60!).Anyone else reading this, please be aware that my set-up above that happened to work for me offers no guarantee of similar success for you, as general conditions of your set-up and more annoyingly the massive undocumented nature of the tolerances of these specialist long DP/mDP cables(!) can mean trial and error only is your solution. So your milage may vary, but hope this may help.Just remember you can always return cables on Amazon that don't work on trial, so keep trying various ones. Good luck!

Didn't work for me at all. I tried reversing the connection order (since it is uni-directional) but it made no difference. The cable is very thin and flexible, so if it works with your hardware it might still be a good choice.
