The HP CABL adapter cable (manufacturer number 2MY05AA) is a
DisplayPort adapter cable with a
Mini DisplayPort plug at one end and a
DisplayPort socket at the other. It is used to connect devices equipped with a Mini DisplayPort interface to monitors or other displays that feature a DisplayPort input. The cable is finished in
black and has a total length of 157 mm, with dimensions of 233 mm (width) × 25 mm (height) × 157 mm (depth). The weight is 90 g. It is specifically designed for use with
Dedicated Workstation systems, as indicated in the product descriptions.
Applications
This cable is used to connect the video output from computers, laptops, or workstations with a Mini DisplayPort interface to DisplayPort-enabled screens or projectors. It is particularly suitable for professional work environments where stable and high-resolution image transmission is required. Its use in
Dedicated Workstation configurations indicates application in high-performance workstations, often found in technical, graphic, or engineering workspaces.
Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features a
Mini DisplayPort plug at one end, which is inserted into the corresponding output of a device, and a
DisplayPort socket at the other end, into which a DisplayPort cable or a DisplayPort plug from a monitor can be inserted. The socket enables a direct connection without requiring additional adapters. The
black colour is typical for professional IT accessories and ensures seamless integration into work environments. The cable is designed as a
single adapter cable, meaning it enables only one connection and is not intended for multiple simultaneous connections.
Technology Explained Simply
DisplayPort is a digital video and audio interface standard developed for transmitting high-resolution images and sound over short distances. The cable enables a direct connection between a Mini DisplayPort output (e.g. on a laptop) and a DisplayPort input (e.g. on a monitor). Using an adapter cable instead of a direct cable is necessary when the device has a Mini DisplayPort connector, which is physically smaller than the standard DisplayPort connector. The cable transmits signals without compression, ensuring high image quality. The length of 157 mm is suitable for use in workstations, where the distance between device and monitor is typically short.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with devices featuring a Mini DisplayPort interface and with monitors or projectors equipped with a DisplayPort input. It is specifically intended for use with
Dedicated Workstation systems, indicating its application in professional work environments.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the Mini DisplayPort plug into the corresponding output of the device and the DisplayPort plug (or socket) into the input of the monitor. No additional configuration or software is required. The connection is physically stable and enables direct signal transmission without additional adapters or converters.
Operational Advantages
The cable enables a simple and reliable connection between Mini DisplayPort and DisplayPort devices. The short length of 157 mm ensures a compact and tidy arrangement, especially in workstations where space and cable management are important. Using an adapter cable instead of a full cable reduces the number of required components and simplifies installation. The
black colour blends unobtrusively into professional work environments. The cable is designed for use in
Dedicated Workstation systems, indicating high reliability and compatibility in demanding work environments.
