Displayport cable

Can I use both sides as input/output on this cable?

It says "Input = mini DisplayPort; Output = DisplayPort"

That is an adapter cable, most likely for a laptop's smaller mini display port connector. It can only be used one way. If you have 2 devices that need a normal HDMI port, look for a HDMI to HDMI cable, which most of them actually are. The cable you have selected here would be called an adapter because it connects different types of connectors.

Monitor came with the same cable but it's too short. So I searched for the same but longer.

I have tested the short one and it works fine.

I have plugged the normal displayport on gpu and the mini on monitor.

Each end of cable has a Displayport connector, so the cable works the same no matter which way you connected it.

I will go for the cheaper one then. Thanks
