Alex Ramos Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi all, Iv been using this converters for the Wathpax. I have about 80, but they keep "burning" and stop working. Can any one advice a different model, more reliable model brand. Tks Alex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I/we have not encountered this before, on any brand, What is the actual temperature around them? Accell usually works well: http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1042-watchpax-needs-an-active-minidp-to-dvivga-adapter/?do=findComment&comment=4110 /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramos Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Is there any way we can use passive adapters? This way will not burn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 No, it is not possible, unfortunately. But if they burn, why does the WATCHPAX survive? My question still stands, what is the actual temperature here? http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1042-watchpax-needs-an-active-minidp-to-dvivga-adapter/ /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Dannert Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes you can, almost any DP cable should do, the shorter the better, of course. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramos Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Im about to order 70 cables, can you please lois any WatchPax compatible models. On asking this because Ive tried some apples stuff that dint work with WatchPax, and I don't want to buy 70 cables that will not work with the Pax.

Jonas Dannert Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Apple-stuff = ie DisplayPort adapters? They will never work with WATCHPAX, because they are all passive. (except for the Dual-Link DVI product, which is powered via USB) We have not tested any specific DisplayPort cables, but the one's I've used have all worked. So we have no specific links for this. A DisplayPort cable is not passive or active, it's a DisplayPort connection only, no conversion is going on. If it's a MiniDP to DP cable or DP to DP cable does not matter, as I see it. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
