ATEN 4.6 m DisplayPort rev.1.2 Cable

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re trying to get a reliable, no-nonsense DisplayPort link between a laptop/PC and a screen, this ATEN 4.6 m cable is a sensible buy—especially at £19.46 ex-VAT. The length is the big practical win in meeting rooms: you can route around desks without stretching leads or forcing awkward placement. ATEN’s name usually means the cable behaves consistently (stable signal, decent build for day-to-day office use) rather than being a “works until it doesn’t” budget lead.

That said, I’d only buy it if you actually need ~5 m. For shorter runs, the value drops a bit because you’re paying for copper you won’t use, and longer cables can be more sensitive to install quality (kinks, tight bends, poor seating in ports). I’d recommend it for typical conference-room setups and desks where the cable needs to reach—less so for critical AV environments where you’d rather standardise on known-good, properly managed AV cabling runs. If you tell me your devices and screen type, I can sanity-check whether DisplayPort 1.2 over that distance is the right fit.
