Is this an active adapter?

The adapter did not work for me as the end was not for a computer( USB) but rather for HDMI.

The adapter is neither USB nor HDMI, its converts Displayport to DVI. HDMI and Displayport connections look similar, but are not. I have used several hundreds of these to connect dual displays to Dell computers without purchasing video cards.

This is not an active adapter. An active adapter should not be required to between a Displayport computer or video card and a DVI monitor. Both use compatible digital signals, though Displayport is capable of high color precision.

No, this adapter is not active. Just a hint: active adapters will run you ~$30+ on a good day.

No, everything seems to be working fine. Is there a problem or a potential problem with the adapter?

Sorry about the truncated response. Still have no clue about the Active bit. I plugged the old keyboard into the adapter and the adapter into the USB port and it has worked flawlessly.

Yes it is. I had the same issue with this accessory... I skimped on an off brand and it stopped working quickly. This was the replacement and it works great. Not worth it to buy the unapproved accessories.

I have been using this adapter for two years. Apart from restarting sometimes the adapter has been working well. And it is working currently.

As far as I know it is not. My son-in-law who is more tech savvy than I am installed it for me. No adapter was necessary. Hope this helps.

What are you trying to hook up.....that would determine if you need adapter or not.

Sounds like the input voltage is wrong (ie, the adapter is putting out the wrong voltage).

Not been active lately but with correct connectors it will work. Pay attention to voltage.

Hello, I've used this adapter quite often and have never had a problem. I never noticed the notice!

I don't Know but just look up the adapter on line and it will tell you if it is.

Hi Chris. I'm not sure if it's the same adapter or not, but it doesn't have the "FULLPOWER" name on it.

This card plugs in by my experience. If their is an adapter I have no knowledge of it.

You can use adapter but make sure that the current and voltage both are good for this device.That means you should check the power output of your adapter which must be same or more than the power (Wattage) of this device.

Hi. The adapter does not come with it. That would have to be purchased separately.

What do you mean Active Adapter? If you mean Plug it into your MacBook Pro or PC to transmit or duplicate your display then "YES" it's an Active Adapter. It works really well in Mirroring my Desktop on my MacBook Pro to my 42 inch HDTV, then I bought a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard. I put my Laptop on a TV tray next to the TV and sit in my recliner, because I don't want the cord from the laptop to the TV laying on the Floor. The Adapter does not require Electricity to operate.
