This connector cable works just fine for its stated purpose: convert a video signal from Mini DisplayPort to DVI.
For the first two days I had no issues, and then *wham* I lost wifi. Whenever I unplugged the converter, wifi came back. Whenever I wrapped my hand around the converter, wifi came back. When I used an Apple branded cable, wifi came back.
I don't know enough to know what's going on under the hood here, but I'm guessing the manufacturer cut corners on the shielding on the cable, and that when I had this plugged it, it was generating enough interference to kill my wifi.
So I view this as a $7.00 experiment that failed... I bought the Apple branded converter and have been very happy with it.Get more detail about Mini DisplayPort to DVI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air, Mac Mini Laptop.
