is this an active adapter?

HDMI and DVI share a common signal format but a different pin/plug configuration. All this does or needs to do is adapt the plugs. (HDMI on older devices may not always work universally but there is nothing that any adapter can do about that.)

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The cable not is powered; it simply connects directly from my HDMI device(PS3), to a monitor, both of which are powered themselves.

does 'any device' connected to it work at all? If not then, either adapter is bad or one of the ports is bad.

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

Your computer and/or adapter are (NOT COMPATIBLE) with sdHC cards. If you put in just a SD card you will see that it will work. Nothing to do with little switch-like thing on the adapter itself.

Under the specifications in the product description it says that the adapter is not included.

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

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.

It is an adapter. it is included in a properly packaged instance of the item. The modem won't run without it.

No. I purchased the adapter and nothing happened. It's a great deal for the price. Hoping that some wizard figures out how to make it happened!

Not sure but beware that this is not an original adapter. This is not going to last more than 1 month.

No it is not active, but I don't think it needs to be, because it's HDMI & so short.

My adapter works fine, perhaps yours is damaged. Write to the seller, I guess you still have a warranty period.

the term is very standard; by 'active' he is asking if it has a circuit that takes power. a chip, for example, would need power and would be the format converter. with displayport, I'm pretty sure this is a 'chipped cable' (ie, active) since its not a pure pin to pin mapping that would be 'just wires only' (ie, passive).mini-hdmi to hdmi is passive. its just wire to wire mapping. but I am pretty sure that DP to hdmi can only be done via a chip; hence, ACTIVE.

The adapter is not included on this model but I'll be happy to include one at no charge if you purchase from us. Thanks! Brian / WiredForLess

It is designed to convert the RCA to VGA only. It did not work for me at all, but it is supposed to only go one way (RCA -> VGA). I would look for an active adapter for your needs.
