Where to get a 1.3 / 1.4 Display Port cable in Cape Town

[Kamikaze]

Good day ladies and gents. I'm on the hunt for a 1.3 or 1.4 Male to Male Display Port cable in Cape Town. I need it before Friday EOD so I would prefer to collect it instead of waiting and hoping it arrives by then.

Any ideas where I can get one? I also don't want to spend more than R300 preferably.

Thanks!

Hi hi,

Any specific length? These are available at the supplier that I do daily runs to. Based in Cape Town as well so I'm sure we could get it to you by tomorrow, or latest Friday

3m goes for R152 - OEM DisplayPort 3m Cable – Black

1.8m goes for R104 - OEM DisplayPort 1.8m Cable – Black

Hey @Techfox. Thanks for your input. I don't see any mention of the display port version for those cables. By the looks of things, they might be less than v1.2 whereas I need 1.2a, 1.3 or 1.4.

I'm looking for 1.8+ meters of cable.

Thanks!

Heya, sorry forgot to mention that part

1.4 is the standard at the moment so I'm 99.9% sure it's 1.4, but if you like I can go check them myself when I'm at the supplier tomorrow and confirm with you

I would appreciate it if you can confirm. Then I will take the 1.8m cable. I already have 2 cables that is not 1.2a + and it doesn't work when I try to enable Gsync 🙈

 

[Techfox]

Ah, gotcha. Shouldn't be an issue

That being said, I'll take a look at them tomorrow and grab a 1.8m (but no pressure to take it)

 

[Kamikaze]

I will definitely take it if it meets my requirements, thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

So they're not so good at branding things these days... So I purchased two, one on which I've just plugged into my monitor, and can confirm this will, in fact, support G-Sync and is 1.4 - attached a screenshot below of my control panel

The second one is here and sealed, that you're welcome to grab. That being said, if there are any issues, you are welcome to return it

Good stuff thanks! I'll PM you shortly.
