Is this an active or passive cable?

I understand that it is PASSIVE, only works from new DISPLAY PORT source to Old-School DVI monitors...

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

It is a pass-through. There is a male USB on the end of the cable.http://imgur.com/SU9HzOl

Having installed it (at home) and connected it to use (fine) - I have to admit that I encountered no battery box or literature that suggested it was anything but a passive antenna. Please double check this, with the company! (am an EE with a lot of radio exp. from DC to daylight ... but saw nothing that suggested it was an active antenna).

The cable has a booster in it and I've used multiple cables together and have no problem

No, it's passive. Take your left and right speaker wires from receiver to the sub, then go from the sub to your left and right speakers. Hope that helps!

This is 110V version....so yes you need either a passive or active converter

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

There are no safeguards because there is no active device inside. It is a passive power injector only, using the spare pairs of a CAT5 cable (technically 802.3af mode B). That means it can not detect whether a POE or non-POE device is attached at the other end of the cable. Possibly a non-POE device could be damaged.

it works, but it's a passive adapter. As long as you don't need an active adapter, it'll do the job

No it is an active port, it is just that any packets that are to be sent port 1 are also sent to port 5.

Mine has active return which is required for 2 way communications on cable systems where you use "on demand". When you use on demand you are actually sending a signal back to the cable company to command a request. The one you are looking at has passive return which is fine for antenna and cable systems where on demand is not required. Mine has an amplified return. The other one does not and will not work with on demand cable. I actually tried the one without active return and would noy work on my cable system with on demand

Hi, this is not an active cable. But you could find Active Mini DisplayPort to DVI Male to Female Adapter from below link, thanks. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDSZYII

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

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.
