Comes up at boot without any negotiation drama
Stiffer than the HDMI equivalents when you are pulling it
Runs from a rack in the plant room to a wall-mounted display showing the building system. Locks on at boot with no fiddling, and a year and a half on it has never needed a soul to touch it. The lead is stiffer than the fibre HDMI leads though.
Used for: 1–3 months
Set this up for a flight sim rig where the machine sits under the stairs and the three screens are in the spare room above. The cable goes up through the same hole as the mains and comes out behind the desk with metres to spare. What I was worried about was whether the display would go to sleep and refuse to come back, because that is what my old adapter chain did. It does not. Switch the monitor off, switch it on, picture is there before the desk lamp has warmed up!

Thirty metres at 4K with no repeater
The DisplayPort latch tabs feel ready to snap
Four stars, and the missing one is about the plugs rather than the cable. The DisplayPort latches on these are the flimsiest I have come across: the little sprung tab feels like it will shear off if you pull the release at an angle, and on a cable this expensive that is the part I want to be overbuilt. Otherwise it does exactly what it says. Thirty metres from the server cabinet to a desk monitor at 4K, no shimmer, no dropouts, and no need for a repeater box on the wall.

Cold and damp have not touched it
Two winters in an unheated workshop and the picture at the far end is unchanged
Used for: More than a year
Full refresh rate at a length copper cannot manage
Drives a 4K monitor at 144 from a PC two rooms away, which nothing copper would do
Used for: 6–12 months
Thirty metres and the monitor still wakes instantly
Long, thin, and it has never once blinked!
Used for: Less than a month
Goes in as easily as a two metre lead
Coiling it back down for transport is a two-hand job
Bought for a temporary video wall at a trade stand and it went in with no more thought than a normal lead. Thirty metres of it coiled behind a pillar, one end at the laptop, other at the panel, up at full resolution in seconds. Two shows on the same lead now and nothing has needed a second thought!
Used for: 6–12 months
Got the noisy PC out of the room entirely
The tower now lives in a cupboard on the landing and the desk is silent. Signal has never so much as flickered
