Connect DVI displays to Mini DisplayPort sources

This passive adapter links a DVI-equipped monitor to a computer or laptop with a Mini DisplayPort output. It suits office workers and home users who need to add a legacy display without installing an active converter. The dongle works with Thunderbolt ports that carry a DisplayPort signal.

Check your source port and cable type

Verify the host device provides a DP++ dual-mode Mini DisplayPort; a pure DisplayPort-only port will not drive this passive unit. You must supply a DVI-D digital cable because the adapter presents a DVI-I female socket but passes only digital signals. No audio is transmitted so plan a separate audio path if required.

Passive design runs cool and silent

With no active circuitry the adapter draws negligible power from the host port and generates no measurable heat during normal operation. There are no fans or moving parts so operation is completely silent. The compact 6.7 x 1.6 x 0.6 inch black housing adds minimal strain on the source connector.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need a separate cable?

The adapter is the only item included; a DVI cable to connect your monitor must be purchased separately.

Should I choose a passive or active version for 1920x1200?

This passive DP++ model supports 1920x1200 directly from a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt source without an active converter.

Will the 1920x1200 rating work on my 1080p monitor?

Yes, the adapter handles both 1920x1200 and 1080p resolutions, so a 1080p display will operate at its native resolution.
