Product Identity

This adapter cable connects a Mini DisplayPort source to one DVI, one HDMI or one VGA display at a time. It suits owners of late-2009 iMac or mid-2010 MacBook Pro models who need legacy monitor support. Buyers requiring simultaneous multi-mirror output cannot use this device.

Thermals Noise Power

The unit draws operating power directly from the Mini DisplayPort connection without an external supply. No active cooling is present so acoustic output is zero. Power consumption remains within the port’s rated delivery capability.

Deciding Specification

Maximum supported resolution is 1920x1080p at 60 Hz with 12-bit per-channel deep colour. The adapter complies with Mini DisplayPort 1.1a dual-mode input and carries audio on compatible Mac models.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Mini DisplayPort 1.1a plug on this adapter to my iMac or MacBook so the DVI or VGA output works?

Insert the Mini DisplayPort connector into the Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort socket on your Mac; the adapter draws power from that port, so no external supply is needed, then attach either a DVI or a VGA cable — only one output is active at a time.

Will the gold-plated contacts or the Mini DisplayPort socket wear out and need replacement after frequent plugging and unplugging?

The adapter has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; if the Mini DisplayPort plug or the DVI and VGA ports become loose or corroded after years of use, the whole cable must be replaced.

At what resolution and refresh rate does the adapter hit its bandwidth ceiling when I run a 1080p display for long periods?

The hard limit is 1920x1080 at 60 Hz with 12-bit colour per channel; sustained use at that setting uses the full 6.75 Gbps aggregate bandwidth the Mini DisplayPort 1.1a link provides.
