Review on πŸ”Œ Club 3D CAC-1510-A Dual Link DVI-D Adapter with HDCP Off - Compatible with Apple Cinema Displays, 3840x2160@30hz, 2560x1600@60Hz by Shane Yay

Supports Apple Cinema DVI monitor! Hooray!

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro to a newer 2019 model with four USB Type-C ports. My old MacBookPro had a MiniDisplay port, which I used to run an Apple Cinema HD 23-inch DVI monitor with the Apple DVI to MiniDisplay adapter. I assumed the Apple MiniDisplay to USB Type-C adapter would work with the new MBPro. So I tried CableCreation's USB Type-C to DVI adapter, which claims to be compatible with MBPro 2019. It did not work. I then tried the Benfei USB Type-C to DVI Adapter, which claims to be compatible with the new MBPro as well, but that didn't work. Then I tried UPTab's USB Type-C to MiniDisplay Adapter, thinking it would work with my Apple DVI to MiniDisplay Adapter, but it didn't. HDCP Adapter Off". IT WORKS! Find it here: https://www.amazon.com/CAC-1510-Adapter-Displays-3840x2160-2560x1600/dp/B08B7FSVTL/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Club+ 3D+CAC-1510&qid=1615575897&sr=8-3 Please note that Club produces two models, one with "HDCP Off" which supports Apple Cinema Monitor and one with HDCP. The DCP On model does not support Apple Cinema. Thanks Revain for the free return offer for devices making false support claims It's worth noting that Apple does not provide an adapter to support their older, fully functional DVI monitors.

Pros
  • DVI to HDMI adapter
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
