Krzysztof, you should be using 3.13.0-39 patched by me (the newer
version is the vanilla Ubuntu kernel which does not support MST).

Regarding your question about cables: you should not worry about that.
According to [1]:

So basically any DP cable should be ok.

If you have the intel drivers and the correct kernel up and running
nothing else is required to get a working multi-display setup.
