Q: Is this adapter an active as opposed to passive? Thanks in advance
A: Not sure Really. I was trying to find a way to connect new card to KVM switch. Finally went with HDMI to VGA. This works great as a direct connection to the monitor. When hooked to the VGA Switch the boot up does not display. You turn it on and wait a few moment and you are looking at the Login Screen
