Note: Due to the very high speed signals used by DisplayPort connections, the use of high quality cable is vital in order to ensure a reliable video connection through the switch. Low-cost non-compliant cables may lead to intermittent or distorted video. For details about third-party cable solutions, please see the Products section of the VESA DisplayPort website: www.displayport.org
