Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £25.57 ex-VAT, this looks like a sensible “just make it work” USB‑C to DisplayPort lead for Apple kit. If you’ve got a MacBook/Mac Mini setup and you’re trying to get a second display without faffing around with docks or adapters, StarTech cables tend to be reliable on the basics: they don’t get flaky with sleep/wake as often as cheaper no-name options, and the length (2m) is usually just right for desks where the monitor isn’t directly beside the laptop. In real office use, that reliability is what you’re paying for.

I’d buy it if your goal is a straightforward USB‑C (or Thunderbolt‑compatible) output to a DisplayPort monitor/TV, and you don’t need anything exotic like long runs across cable trays or unusually high-refresh setups. I’d hesitate if you’re expecting it to fix compatibility issues between odd monitor models or if you’re constantly moving laptops between different docks/cable types—cables are rarely the root cause, but a bad one can make troubleshooting painful. Overall: good value for a dependable secondary-display cable, not something I’d overspend on if you already have a known-good dock solution.
