Technical Overview
This DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter implements the DisplayPort 1.2 specification with full support for digital audio/video transmission. The 20-pin connectors on both ends provide the complete DisplayPort signal path, including support for 8-channel audio, Multi-Stream Transport (MST), and High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) data rates up to 21.6 Gbps.
The cable construction includes aluminum foil and braid shielding for superior EMI protection, preventing interference that could degrade video or audio quality. Backward compatibility with DisplayPort 1.1 ensures broad device support, while the precise audio channel timing (GTC) maintains synchronization for 3D stereo applications.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Physical Profile
The compact 6-inch length provides just enough cable for direct port-to-port connections without excess cable management. The black PVC jacket offers a professional appearance that blends with most equipment. At just 0.50 ounces, the lightweight design minimizes strain on device ports while the CMG jacket type provides flexibility for tight installation spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.50 oz (14.17 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
