The MDP2DVIMM6BS is 6ft active mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter cable lets you directly connect your mini DP video source (Laptop, Macbook®, Ultrabook™ etc.) directly to a DVI monitor or projector, saving the expense of additional adapters. For guaranteed compatibility with virtually any Mini DisplayPort output the active mini DP to DVI adapter supports multimode (DP++) as well as single-mode DisplayPort signals. Unlike passive adapters, this ensures the MDP2DVIMM6BS can be used with graphics cards that are not capable of outputting multimode DP++ signals, such as ATI® Eyefinity cards.
