What is the maximum length of a DisplayPort cable?
The DisplayPort spec calls for full bandwidth transmission at 10ft (3M), and reduced functionality (1920x1080p at 60 Hz) up to 50ft (15M).

How do I extend DisplayPort?
DisplayPort can be extended with a passive cable up to its maximum spec length. Keep in mind however that multiple connections can weaken the signal, so daisy-chaining extensions may result in a shorter practical maximum length.
The cable is actually a mini displayport to displayport. That is all I'm interested in. So far, it seems like the maximum with full bandwidth is 2 meters ... I haven't seen many cables longer than that.
This cable available from monoprice in California, USA supports up to "4K": 3840x2160 at up to 15 feet:
