This article covers Monoprice 3 ft 32 AWG Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPortケーブル.

Overview

The Monoprice 3 ft 32 AWG Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (White, 3ft FT 106006) is a bidirectional cable designed to connect devices with a Mini DisplayPort (MDP) output—such as laptops and tablets—to monitors or projectors with a standard DisplayPort (DP) input. At just 3 feet (approximately 0.9 meters), it keeps your desk tidy and clutter-free. Built with pure copper conductors and gold-plated connectors, this cable ensures reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Shielding protects against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). It complies with the DisplayPort 1.1a standard, supporting a maximum data rate of 8.64 Gbps, but does not carry audio signals.

Connectivity & Compatibility

Connector type: Mini DisplayPort (male) to DisplayPort (male) Bidirectional: works from DP source to MDP monitor, or from MDP source to DP monitor Compatible devices: laptops with Mini DisplayPort (MacBook Air/Pro, Surface Pro, etc.), tablets, and monitors/projectors with DisplayPort input Note: DisplayPort 1.1a compliance means it does not support HBR2 (5.4 Gbps) or HBR3 (8.1 Gbps) speeds. Not suitable for 4K@60Hz or higher resolutions/refresh rates. * Audio pass-through is not supported; use a separate audio cable if needed.

Product Info

Release timeframe: Early 2010s (long-running model) Price range: Approximately ¥2,000 (reference price on) Warranty: Typically 1 year (varies by retailer) Accessories: Cable only * Availability: , Monoprice official website Market positioning: Entry to mid-range DisplayPort cable. It offers solid fundamentals—pure copper, gold-plated connectors, shielding—at a low price point thanks to its short length. However, it lacks support for newer DisplayPort versions (1.2/1.4), so it is not ideal for high-end or future-proof setups.

Best Use Cases

Laptop users with Mini DisplayPort: Ideal for connecting MacBook Air/Pro or Surface Pro to a DP monitor without an adapter. The short cable keeps your workspace neat. Dual-monitor setups: When adding a second DP monitor, this cable provides a direct, adapter-free connection, reducing potential signal loss. Budget-conscious buyers: At around ¥2,000, it offers good value with gold-plated connectors and shielding, making it a cost-effective choice for basic DP connections. Not recommended for: High-resolution or high-refresh-rate displays (4K@60Hz or above): The DisplayPort 1.1a bandwidth is insufficient; choose a DisplayPort 1.2 or higher cable. Audio transmission: This cable is video-only. Use HDMI or a DisplayPort 1.2+ cable with audio support. Longer cable runs: At 3 feet, it is best for short distances between PC and monitor.
