Review on VESA Certified Industrial Electrical DisplayPort 1.4 Cable by StarTech Com by Niranjan Reynolds

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The product image is inaccurate and the description is misleading

I have no problems with this cable as with most StarTech cables as they tend to be very well made. I disagree with one of the images showing the wrong product. Instead of an actual 3m cable, it shows an image of a 2m/1m cable, which is important as 2m/1m cables are actually thin. This 3m version is definitely NOT thin. After receiving the product I checked out the Revain sales page and found that it mentioned both 28 AWG and 34 AWG. I don't know where StarTech considers 28 AWG to be "thin", but it isn't. Based on the pictures I bought it thinking it would suit them perfectly. I was wrong. This cable is the same gauge as any other consumer DisplayPort cable I would buy. I'm disappointed that StarTech uses the word "thin" in the name, disappointed that they included an inaccurate photo of the cable, and disappointed that they don't actually make a thin version of the 10m cable. The whole reason I bought one of these cables in the first place was so I could have consistency. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Cables and Connectors
Cons
  • Requires socket
