Will this type of connection work with a new iMac and an Apple Superdrive (optical)? The Superdrive is hardwired with a very short cable.

Yes. This cable is power and data wired. Be sure if you are getting cables for reasons other than charging your electronics, it must state that it is a data cable as well. This cable simply extends the USB port, so it is wired for both power and data.

It should work. I have used the cable both as an extension for an external HDD enclosure and for charging my tablets/phones, with no issues.

I used it with my 27" iMac running the most recent OSX release and it worked perfectly via plug and play. Increased the distance from my WAP by at least 50 yards.

I hooked my LaCie d2 Quadras to my mid 2010 iMac using the cords with the external drives into the firewire port of my iMac. I do use one of them for my TimeMachine backup, and it works quite well.

It will work but via USB 2.0 only. The USB 3 will step down to what your iMac has. If it has thunderbolt how ever that is better

Yes it works with my newer iMac and a previous model. I did however have to plug it into the USB port in back of the computer. It did not work when I plugged it into a USB dock/hub

That's the exact printer I bought mine for so the mini centronics connector should be right for it. The USB will work fine with your iMac, the operating system shouldn't have any trouble recognizing it.

Not sure I bought it use with my Mac book pro as my SuperDrive is intermittent in operation.

As Matt says, it should. All 27" iMacs have an optical out and this works with the optical out. FWW, it works fine on my Macbook Pro

Yes! It will work great with your iMAC or MAC PRO. Don't try to use a HUB that doesn't have it's own power source because the USB ports on the iMAC WILL NOT pass the required power through the HUB, not if you don't have the later type that have the additional connections for the power transfer. They cost quite a bit more. I have used it on Delicious Library and on CLZ Books and both work great. Have a problem, I just might be able to help. Happy scanning.

I believe the drive that is compatible with my iMac has a 4pin connector instead of the standard 8pin on top of the sata connection.

You could and it would work fine. I think that the drive would probably preform better hooked directly up to your iMac

That's what I'm using it for to my 2007 MacBook. So as long as the iMac has the combo headphone/toslink jack then it should do the trick. I suggest making sure to get any dust/debris out of the combo jack first as dust will interrupt the signal.

If you need those specific connection, it should be no problem. it works well with my iMac

I had no luck at all with that cable, i returned it. Id get a hosa or an art brand cable. If you have a condenser mic and a phantom power supply the hosa or art one should work. The Hde cable did not work with my imac.

NOT that one! I bought the wrong one actually. The large end of THAT cable goes into my 2010 iMac FW800 port but u need an adapter to fit on the other end that will convert it to 'old style' FireWire 400 from the earlier macs. I never got around to getting the adapter. I took the HD out of the old Mac and put it into an enclosure. The pictured cable AND the old style FW adapter should work 4 U though.

No chance. The cord is extremely short as it is designed to complement the iMac.

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.
