Question 1

Is this adapter active? I understand you need an active adapter as opposed to a passive adapter for use with a mac mini.

Accepted Answer

Yes it is. I own it and have used it with my laptop to output a 120Hz signal to a 120Hz display, which can only be done with an active adapter, although mine never quite worked right and stopped working altogether after a couple of months. It also says it is an active adapter in the item name.
