DVI to TB

Foxdog175 · Dec 16, 2013

With the nMP release possibly just a day away, can I get some assistance on a good DVI to TB cable? I have two Apple Cinema Displays: 30" and 20". They both have power bricks which have USB cables coming from them (which I believe only provide power to USB ports). I'm sure this is the standard conversion cable, but it's received awful reviews:

Can anyone recommend a good conversion cable?

There is another recent thread on this topic with answers. Don't remember the name.

The 20-inch only needs a simple mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Monoprice is a good source: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024604&p_id=5999&seq=1&format=2
There's several lengths available...

The 30-inch needs something like the dual-DVI adapter that you linked.
There are other sources for that, too: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=6904&seq=1&format=2

Am I correct in assuming that those will work for Dell 24" monitors with DVI?

Well, no.
You can assume that if the connection is correct (and the cable is good), then it should work.
The only way to determine if your assumption is correct, is to prove it (try it out!)
