Q: min displayport extension cable - UK

Hi guys,

I need a Mini DisplayPort Extension Cable for my 2009 Mac Pro and 24" Cinema Display so I can move my tower further away from the monitor.

Can someone please recommend a good cable from the UK as Apple don't make their own extension cable.

Thanks

Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 6GB Ram, 640GB HD, 1TB HD, X2 GT120's, X2 24" Cinema Displays, F

Hi John,

Thanks for the link. I also found this but was unsure if this is what I needed. Will this cable do what I want it to?

In that that cable will extend the length then the answer is yes it will do what you want.
