Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables

Mini Display Port – Display Port

— devices that have a full-size DisplayPort connector on one side, and a reduced Mini Display Port on the other.

The original Display Port is a digital interface originally designed for video, but more recently it has also allowed audio. In terms of capabilities, this interface is similar to HDMI (see "HDMI — HDMI"), however, for a number of reasons, the main scope of Display Port is computer equipment — in particular, Apple computers. The Mini Display Port is a smaller version of this connector, differing only in size; it is found, in particular, in "apple" laptops.

Accessories of this type can be both cables and adapters (see "Type"), while adapters are usually designed to connect a full-size plug to a mini DisplayPort port. Also note that the universal Thunderbolt interface v1 and v2 uses connectors identical to mini DisplayPort, so many cables and adapters with this plug can also be used with Thunderbolt.
