We are pretty sure that seller sent the item without its original box. We need to send the product as it is, with its packaging. Thanks.
That's not even a Belkin cable. Just some no-name generic cable. It would be of a lot lower quality than the genuine Belkin cable.
Cables come in a few varieties;
- Cheap crap
- Cheap but decent
- Brand name and decent without the $$$
- Brand name and expensive
If it gets installed, anything is fine. if you plug and unplug, throw in a bag, etc, get something a bit more expensive.
No moulded (pre-made) cable in AV should cost more than $40 unless its achieving a distance others cant.
20% cheaper than the cheapest on staticice @i-Tech.
OP can you tell me how these are superior to generic branded ones from ebay? i.e cheaper ones with free shipping
In general in terms of usage and transfer speed both type of cable is no different. However as mentioned in article http://www.displayport.org/cables/how-to-choose-a-displaypor… quoted:"…it is important to avoid low quality DisplayPort cables to prevent unexpected video or audio problems, and sometimes even system power-up problems. Always buy cables from a reputable computer system or accessory brand. Or safer yet, buy a cable that is DisplayPor certified."
Hope this helps.
According to the OP, it comes in a box with the logo "Belkin". This is enough to justify buying it at 300% more than the generic ones.
Please have a read through the article in the link above respond on why buying a non brand cables are not recommended.
Thank you.
I want to believe
Until the cable connectors fall apart. Don't expect it to last you many years.
The specs are confusing, this one
claims it supports resolution upto 2560×1600 whereas the others only show 1080p.

Bought this works perfectly delivered in 2 days $5.45
Can buy 5 for less than yours
Postage is a a scam $8 seriously
How is it a scam. Like to see you send a 500gm or under parcel (with tracking) for under $8. Even Parcel Post 500gm pre-paid parcel satchels from Australia Post are $8.25 and that's not including a handling charge.
OP, you're probably giving us the best deal you can, and your deal is comparatively not too bad (the cheapest I found through a quick search was this which is $32 shipped.
But the problem is, that's still overpriced for a cable. You can buy an entire phone for slightly more here. It simply boggles the mind as to how a mere inert cable can demand a comparative price.
It just looks like Belkin is trying to rip us off and they should be shunned for it. Consumers revolt! ;-)
No love for this deal. Pricing value not that great in many ways.
Guys, can we give the OP a break?
He has offered a branded cable, at a price that is better than others are offering. If its not an item you're interested in, move on. If you feel it is worthy of a negative vote, then remember the ozBargain guidelines.
Some of us prefer branded cable, some of us are happy with alternatives. I swing both ways :-)
I applaud those who have provided links for unbranded alternatives, per the ozBargain voting guideline.
Hi djavu! :)
Hello! How are you doing?
Quite good! How's yourself and the online store sales?
It's ok I guess, sales is slower for Feb-Mar, however as we did variety of things, so it wasn't down much.
The delivered price of this cable cost less than what you are charging for postage alone
