30" cinema display for new Mac mini 2018

This adapter work flawlessly with my 2018 Mac Mini and 320" Apple display (using the Apple dual link to mini display port in between)

Priced right too.

I just received my 2018 Mac mini and connected it to my 30" Apple Cinema Display, along with the USB connection for the keyboard and mouse. I had tried (as a check) using the display with my MacBook Pro (11,5 mid-2015 version) with the Apple DVI to HDMI and it worked, but I did not try connecting the USB cable for keyboard entry.

With the 2018 Mac mini, using the same Apple adaptor and connecting the USB cable for keyboard and mouse, all I see is the light that says that the Mac mini and the display are receiving power. The display is blank.

I bought the display in December 2005, so, I probably should not expect compatibility at this stage, as some of my software programs have also been orphaned with the most recent OS updates.

I have ordered new peripherals, including a monitor, as I am guessing that I finally have to move on, given my infrequent use of this monitor and computer compared to my laptops. That may change.

Can you give us a feedback when you have received your new Mac mini ?

Terrific. I just ordered one. I found that I could also drive the display via an OWC Thunderbolt2 dock, so I have a workaround until the adapter arrives.

. . . Oops, that’s “Many, many thanks for all your effort here,” ℹ

Thank WT – to be fair, all thanks should really go to Malcolm, he's one who pointed me/us in he right direction.

And the nice people at Topelek!

Exactly what adapters are you using? DVI to HDMI adapters aren't used with the 30" display.

The one sold at the Apple website. That would be frustrating if Apple did not provide that information and give appropriate direction.
