Works great! I was even able to use it with a 5k2k (5120x2160) display at 60hz with a crisp and stable picture! (Using DP 1.4 & DSC [Display Stream Compression] - I'm not sure if that actually uses more bandwidth than 4k without DSC or not.)

IMO, the 6 foot measurement is a little dishonest, because it includes the strain relief, housing, and even the DP connector itself (the part that goes inside the plug). Measuring just the cable itself I got a little over 67 inches (5'7").

The housing is fairly chunky at about 20mm across, 38mm long, and 11-14mm deep depending on if you include the button. (The button retracts the little "teeth" that help it stay connected to the computer & monitor.) It has a slight indent, making it easy to get a grip on.

There is a modest amount of strain relief (8.5mm), and the cable itself is fairly thin (5mm) and flexible.

All-in-all, it's a pretty good cable for $7.
