One passive StarTech.com DP2MDPMF6IN adapter cable for connecting a standard DisplayPort source to a Mini DisplayPort monitor cable or Mini DisplayPort display. It is not a Thunderbolt cable and does not work with Apple Thunderbolt Display A1407 or iMac Target Display Mode. Because the maker's datasheet conflicts on maximum resolution, this page conservatively states 2560 by 1600 at 60 Hz rather than promising 4K.
