I bought this cable to get the highest possible resolution of 2560 x 1440 on my Dell Ultrasharp u2713HMT with my Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina. The easiest way seems to be to use one of the Mac's Thunderbolt ports as a mini Displayport and connect it to a Dell Displayport with this cable. Worked great. Mac defaults to Dell's maximum resolution. Oh, and the little velcro strap that comes with it is a nice touch. It is useful and elegant combined with the cable.
