Review on Cable Matters DisplayPort USB C Supporting by Juan Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!

This cable was simple and effective. Please read as this may save you a headache. My setup is as follows: Thunderbolt 3 (USB C) laptop connected to a CalDigit TS3+ docking station. From the dock I am connected to a 27" monitor via a DP-DP cable (no problem). I also have a second 27" monitor that was connected to the dock's TB3 port via the 'TB3 to miniDP port' dongle. This was my problem area as the monitor that was plugged into this dongle (regardless of whether I switched monitors or not) was showing a black screen for about 3-5 seconds every minute or so. VERY BAD! I removed the dongle from the TS3+ dock and plugged it into another TB3 port on my laptop and this problem seemed to go away, but now it forced me to plug and unplug TWO! cable every day. This basically defeats the purpose of a docking station. Thought I'd try this cable (which I'm considering) to fix the problem. I removed the dongle and plugged the USB-C to DP cable into a TS3+ dock and there was no signal for a week! LOVE IT!
