True DVI-I/D HDMI connector, works fine when connecting a 2007 Mac Mini DVI to HDMI

I have a mid 2007 Apple Mac Mini Core2 Duo with a DVI video out connector. I've used a DVI to VGA adapter for years thinking it was DVI-A and didn't have DVI-D signals. It's also single speed, so 6 pins are missing in the middle. I was wrong. This cable connected the DVI-I connector (for built-in, "both" DVI-A and DVI-D signal pins) on a Mac mini well, allowing DVI-D signals to my HDMI input connected to my monitor (all passive/native no active signal processing in the cable. The results were absolutely "stunning". It came in a sealed box with a warranty card and the pictures don't do it justice. It's a large rubber cable with a DVI D-HDMI connector Sturdy feel but very flexible Has a rubber pad around the mating parts of the connector so they "seal" when inserted into their sockets and keep you from going too far Apple hardware costs a lot more than common but they are usually very flexible by default I assumed DVD-A was only included because of the passive VGA dongle they threw in the box for free I didn't even think they could be so farsighted to ensure that the DVI-I Ver binding (for both) saves me time many years later and gives new life to an old tiny car. Happy end.
