To connect a MacBook Pro on a 27 "screen with a shared PC. HDMI is already in use, remained a DVI input on the monitor. The cable is long enough, 1.80m, to ensure the best provision between the screen and the Mac. The connectors are of excellent quality and appearance "golden", each equipped with a protection. I doubt whether it is gold plated to this tariff;), it is however a very nice effect. -> Highly recommended, very good quality product and quality. A great alternative to prohibitively expensive original products of the Apple brand :)
