Is there a Mini Display Port Extension

Hi,

I bought one from here, it's the cheapest I could find in the UK and arrived next day:

For anyone in the UK looking for extension cables. I am selling 3ft and 6ft on eBay UK. The listings are under item no. 400077260512 and item no. 400077260894. Thanks.

£29.99 are you having a laugh mate? That other site is doing them for nearly half the price!

I just want to add my two cents that this issue is ridiculous and apple store still does not sell and extension cord as of December 2009. I purchased the display to go with a mac mini in a dental office setting. The mini sits in a cabinet and the monitor is to be mounted on a vesa mount (another grip post to come). This cord is ridiculously short. So after reading this thread I am going to shell out another 50 bucks to get a 13 foot mini display and USB extension cord from cpustuff. Somebody dropped the ball on this one. Regardless if the display was originally designed for the laptop line, once they started marketing it to macpro and mac mini customers, they should have either significantly lengthened the supplied cord or offer an extension as an accessory. I know this post don't move the ball in any way, but it makes me feel better. 🙂 sorta.

I just purchased a MacPro and got 4 displays, can only use two due to the cable length problem. After spending $12,000 for the best of the best, I find this inability to use my hardware due to poor manufacturing OUTRAGEOUS! Come on Apple, do not advertise "up to 8 displays" for the MacPro if you cannot even handle 2. My older cinema displays with DVI connectors have a much, much longer cable, so my new display sit and gather dust, while I have to fall back to my older ones. This is WRONG!

anyone in the uk ordered one of these recently? are they available off the shelf anywhere?? im looking at buying the display tomorrow with a view to connecting it to a mac pro in a week or so (need to order it)

but for now itll be plugged into my macbook pro

I just ordered a mini-displayport & USB combo extension cable from Circuit Assembly. It was $28 and got delivered 25 hours after I ordered it ($10 FedEx delivery). I just plugged it in and everything seems to be working perfectly.
