In addition, it also features a USB extension cable that runs alongside the DVI cable, for convenience sake. Both video-mirroring and dual-display modes are supported.

Comments about Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension:
I needed this cable to get matching resolutions on the 2 NEC Monitors that I was using with my Mac Pro. I had originally ordered another cable (MiniDisplay Port Adaptor) and the resolutions on each monitor were different. The only other options was to add a second graphics card and that was very expensive. This works great.

Comments about Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension:
Used to connect a 30" Cinema Display to my 2010 MacBook Pro. Tried other single-link adaptors, but needs this to take full advantage of the native resolution.
Pricey, but elegant and effective.
Allows me to hide the power brick with the rest of my cables, keeping my desk clear.

Comments about Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension:
The Dual-Link Display Adapter works just as promised. Of course with all apple products it looks great, but the length of the cord makes it easy to place your computer anywhere you want without having to have it right by the monitor. I have been using this a few weeks with my 15" MacBook Pro and it is great.

Comments about Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension:
I've heard some rate this card as not working for some folks, but it worked great for me. I also heard it was because of a glitch in older operating systems. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.7 on a 27" iMac, and it runs the 30" Apple Display just fine.
