The MDP2DVIMM3WS 3ft active Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter cable lets you directly connect your Mini DP video source (such as any of your MacBook or Microsoft Surface Pro devices with mDP) directly to a nearby DVI monitor or projector, saving the expense of additional adapters while eliminating the clutter of excess cable. The converter features a stylish white design, that is well-suited for connecting Mac computers. Unlike passive adapters, this ensures the MDP2DVIMM3WS can be used with graphics cards that are not capable of outputting multimode DP++ signals, such as ATI Eyefinity cards. Compatible with Intel Thunderbolt, when connected directly to a supporting DisplayPort over Thunderbolt I/O port, the adapter supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The MDP2DVIMM3WS is backed by a 3-year StarTech. Note: This adapter is not compatible for use with the Apple Cinema Display.
