I can be a bit OCD when it comes to computer wiring. I want the cables to be fit for purpose, including length. I hate having cable reels. It fits perfectly between my KVM switch and my 4K monitor. This cable is thin, making it easy to train without kinking or pulling on other nearby cables. highlighted. Note: Due to the limitations of my hardware, I cannot comment on this cable's ability to handle 4k at 60Hz. I drive at 30Hz.
