Jun 21, 2009 9:29 AM in response to circuitassemblyby Indy2727,So this is a male DVI to female mini displayport? That's awesome! Any chance you'll have them in lengths shorter than 15 feet? Not that it matters, I'll buy one anyway. Just don't want my Mac to start looking like a PC with all that extra cable. -
Jun 21, 2009 9:37 AM in response to circuitassemblyby Gene on MAC,WIll this be female mini-display port to male DVI? You didn't describe the actual connectors in your post. Just hoping against hope.
Thanks. -

Sorry for the confusion and if I got your hopes up, I was just talking about the simple extension cable not the DVI to mini dp adapter. Foolish for me not to have specified that.
I think progress is being made on the DVI to mini DP adapter, some people have said that its impossible but I've heard some good test results. I'm confident there will be a product available somewhere within the next few months.
Once again sorry for any confusion I might have caused.

Jun 21, 2009 9:34 PM in response to circuitassemblyby Stuart Austwick,HI we have not been in touch directly regarding this extension cable, however thanks to Gene, I did get on your list for I believe at least 3 of these extension cables.
One question, I did have was are you going to include USB and MagSafe Extensions with your extension cables or will I need to buy extensions for the USB part at the least. I am not aware of any extensions for the Magsafe cable, but I could simply use my Macbook Pro's own Power supply with no difficulty at all. THe USB extension is also not really and issue as USB extensions are readily available, I was just curios to know if you were planning on providing a complete Extension cable for these troublesome connectors, or if you were concentrating solely on providing the Video and whatever else it drives component of this cable.
Appreciate the fact that you are even planning making one.

As far as I know there isn't any magsafe extension. I'm not sure that third parties can make it as I believe the connector is patented by Apple and I haven't heard of them releasing it like they did with mini displayport. For USB there are many solutions. We do have some shorter USB extension cables on our website that can be purchased at the same time you buy the extension cables. Also, since we're planning on adding the 15 foot extensions soon, I think I'm going to add some 16 foot repeater USB cables to the site to go along with those.
The usb cables are male to female.
Hope this answers your question! -
