unreliable and bulky

The cable lacks the standard locking pins and will not snap into the connector. The plastic casing around the connector is also quite large, which can be a problem depending on the device. It barely fits in my PC graphics card and is extremely unreliable due to the lack of locating pins. In addition, the cable is very thick and bulky. While not a deal breaker per se, it's difficult to route in cable management ducts or monitor arms.

There are better alternatives for cheaper ones.

These cables do not support 1440p/144Hz. When I pushed a cable above 60Hz it flickered. at 85 Hz it was intermittent, about once a minute or so. At 100Hz, 120Hz or 144Hz it was constant, couldn't really be used and in fact I had to restart my computer into safe mode more than once. I recently got a $21 "GearIT 2-Pack, Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" that supports 144Hz at 1440p with no issues. Since the cheaper product has much better performance and design, I cannot give this…

10ft cannot run above 60Hz

Anyone using a monitor that runs above 60Hz should not purchase the 10ft version of this cable. I had constant flickering until I tried a more expensive cable that solved all my problems. Here's what I've tested: 2560x1440, 60Hz works, 2560x1440, 100Hz doesn't work, 2560x1440, 144Hz doesn't work, 1920x1200, 59Hz works. Save time and money and choose GearIT. 10ft Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 4K Resolution (DP to DP Cable) Black if you need a longer DisplayPort cable. It worked…

A used cable was shipped

I ordered this 10 foot RevainBasics DP cable and after over a week of waiting and delays finally received a battered UPS soft envelope. Although the product I received works and is the correct cable, it had a return label from another buyer, the address was clearly visible, with sticky residue on one end of the cable and badly folded in what appeared to be a sandwich bag . After for some reason sterilizing and cleaning everything including the DVI-DP adapter that came with it, I tested the…

NOT compatible with 1440p 144hz

Despite claims to the contrary by other users and Revain's claim that this cable is DP1.2 certified, this cable was unable to deliver a 1440p 1440p signal to an AMD RX580 monitor. Replaced it with a much shorter standard cable and everything works great, citing the cable as a source of failure. As mentioned in other reviews, this cable is MUCH thicker than any other DP cable I've seen to the point where it was difficult to work with and also lacked clips that plug into the connector can become.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Nothing here

No clamps and very bulky cable.

Attention! This cable is very thick. While I'm sure it will provide good shielding over longer cables (15 feet in this case), it should not be used in situations where the cable needs to be run in a narrow run or hidden within the cable management system of the monitor's swing arm. This cable works best as a "backbone" connection between a fixed desktop PC (not a laptop) and a KVM or wall monitor. Retaining clips required by the DisplayPort standards. They are only held by friction! If you…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Only available in black

This item was purchased to replace a standard cable that was too short. This cable didn't have the terminals that I've seen on other DP cables, but also had the shorter standard cable that I substituted. During the initial installation, the display remained black. A slight wobble made it rise for a moment, but it went black again. After fiddling with it a bit, the clamps didn't seem quite right. The one that went to the monitor felt very loose, and the one that went to the GPU felt like it…

  • New

Short lived, only lasted 6 months

I bought a JSAUX 1.2 DP cable to replace this cable and it's much better for around the same price so I recommend buying this one instead. This Revain cable is for display port cables only. took about 6 mouths running through my monitor's built in cable manager before shorting out. It wasn't in a very tough use case, it never kinked, the tightest bend was about 3 inches. The short circuit was only caused by turning it by hand with the monitor several times a day for 6 months. Previously, the…

Not robust, only lasted 6 months

I bought a JSAUX 1.2 DP cable to replacing this cable and it's a much better quality for about the same price so I recommend buying this one instead. This Revain cable to display port only lasted about 6 mouths running through my monitor's built in cable manager before it shorted out. It wasn't in a very tough use case, it never buckled, the tightest bend was about 3 inches. The short circuit was only caused by turning it by hand with the monitor a few times a day for 6 months.
