Best DP 1.4 Cable?

Hey folks, who makes the best DP1.4 cable for connecting a Quadro (1.4) to BenQ SW320 (1.4)?

I see lots of 1.2 cables out there but wasn't sure if they were completely different.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I just bought a brand new DP 1.4 cable off Amazon. Brand is Accell. My new LG 34GK950F will be arriving this week, so I bought a new cable in advance to take advantage of the DP 1.4 ports.

You can search VESA’s website to find a cable that fits your specific needs: https://www.displayport.org/product-category/cables-adaptors/

The Accell cable I bought was $20, is 2m in length, and has non-mini male to male connectors. Well worth the price IMO. I currently use an Accell DP 1.2 cable, and have never had any issues. I think they’re one of VESA’s main certified vendors.
 
As the previous poster suggested, I checked the VESA recommended products page. I wound up buying a Club3D model CAC2068; DP-DP, 2 meter, 1.4, HBR3. That last part of the spec was my focus as IIRC it allows for uncompressed ( no Display Stream Compression ) 10-bit 4:4:4 UHD @ =/> 60HZ data rates. I too will be connecting a Quadro (P2000) to a BenQ SW320, alas I have not completed my new build so I have nothing to report about product satisfaction. When I researched the brand I found nothing pro/con. But then I didn't find recommendations for the competition either. The cable cost $16.20 including tax with Amazon Prime. Keep us informed on your choice and satisfaction.
 
Use only certified cables if you care about using near max bandwidth and not having random blankouts.

I have had no problems with quite a few accel cables now for DP 1.4 required resolutions and refresh rates, after having to replace a number of random cables that came bundled with the same monitors. Grinds my gears they try to save 20 cents on a cable with a 1k monitor, bet their bean counters didn't check how many RMAs might be saved if the fucking cable worked properly.

Also keep in mind no matter the cable, interference is still a thing. I have some cell phones and other stuff that will cause issues when they get close or if many data cables get coiled together.
For some reason USB is a typical offender for me, it shits all over my QSFP DACs (copper 40/56Gbs) especially hard.
