The only difference is the connector; the mini and regular connectors are electrically equivalent. According to Wikipedia,
The mDP pin assignments are the same as the full-size DisplayPort connector.

I saw this DELOCK 82438 Mini DisplayPort - Displayport cable where the image shows one end is an input, while the other is an output. They also say in the description that this is a Mini DisplayPort male > DisplayPort male cable, indicating the direction.
Does this really exist? A DisplayPort cable with one direction? What makes the data "flow" only to one way?

Optichip over 9 yearsI can't think of any "output" devices or monitors etc that have a mini-dp in. The mac monitors have a thunderbolt in but that's not the same thing. I do have one of those types of mini-dp to dp cables connected from my mac to a AURIA 27" and it works well.

David Ehrmann about 4 years@Optichip It's been five years, so some there some monitors with it, now. For one, the Dell U2717D has both regular and mini DisplayPort inputs.

malhal almost 3 yearsThe Samsung U24E850R also has regular and mini DP inputs. It comes with a regular to mini DP cable and it works in both directions so if you are concerned then perhaps buy a Samsung cable from a monitor being sold separately.
