StarTech.com DISPLPORT25L 25-Feet DisplayPort Cable with Latches - M/M

I got this cable because the 6ft cable I've got is slightly short for me. I don't want to type a bunch of technical troubleshooting info in this review. So here's the short version: I have reason to believe that the pinout may be wrong on this cable. (Yes, possibly only on the one I received... ) And that it was feeding power back from my monitor into my computer. The previous cable I was using didn't (and doesn't) do this.

StarTech makes great cables, and this one is no exception. There is a happy medium between being inflexibly thick and cheaply thin, and this cable strikes the perfect balance, with a high quality rubber coating. The locking DisplayPort connectors connect with a satisfying "click," and I have thus far had no issues with picture quality or reliability. I would definitely buy StarTech cables in the future.

My PC does not boot when this cable is inserted in my Asus 5870 HD video card.

However, everything works perfectly when I use my good old trusty DVI cable.

It seems that I an not the only one who has been having problems with this cable.

I highly recommend that you stay away from this product until it get fixed.

This cable has very poorly made plastic housing by the connectors that just falls apart without trauma. The end of the cable became stuck in my GTX 560 and would not come out. Without the plastic housing, I couldn't get the latches to depress. The cable had to be cut and the head pulled out with pliers. I don't know if that display port on my card is damaged, and I'm not going to try it again.

The company said my cable was more than 30 days old and they would not replace or refund it. They did not listen to my complaints about the product and they did not even apologize.

I have seen similar reviews of problems with this cable. It's the worst!

These people should be ashamed of themselves.

I purchased and received this while on a trip to the US, once I got back home I found out it is faulty and DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. The covers on one of the connectors even fell off letting me see some pretty shoddy soldering on the cable itself.

Returning it to get a new one is more trouble than it's worth since I'm no longer in the US.

Would definitely not recommend.
