I have 4 machines which connect to a single led monitor, keyboard, and mouse thorough a KMV switch. The first 3 are workstations that all use DVI-D or DVI-I, while the 4th is a laptop which my office "gave" me to use for email (win7 and VGA only). So since my monitor (1920x1600 and I love it anyway) doesn't support DVI-I, I have used a variety of adapters but had to give up and use a separate VGA cable going directly from the mouse to the DB15/vga port on the monitor while the other 3 connect (through the KVM switch) to the monitor's DVI-D port.
A few days ago the office laptop died, and I received a replacement which has a mini display port on it. I bought this cable and now I have ditched the direct connection and am able to run all 4 video signals through the KVM swtich.
The cable looks exactly like the photo (I know that some folks have reported that it didn't look the same), and it works exactly as expected :-)
So to me this cable is a HUGE time saver since now I can skip having to take my hands away from the keyboard to hit the manual switch on the front of the monitor (to change input ports).
So I'd say that if you need this cable, you really need it VERY BADLY and it should handle your needs for MDP (mini display port) to DVI.
------------------------
I was just about to post this review when I got an email from my office. I'm taking on a project which will require that I get a 4Kx2K monitor. So once I have that, I'll post and let people know how this cable works (I'd love to get 3840x2400 but co$t wise it looks like I'll be orering 3840x2160...)

Made my Macbook Pro into a multiple workspace editing machine!
Ok, so I had two montiors which only had DVI and VGA outputs on them and I wanted to run them on my Macbook Pro. I bought these with the hopes that they would push video signal from my Macbook out to those monitors so that I would have multiple workspaces to use for my photo and video projects.When I received these cables I was happy with the construction, the cabling was thick and sturdy feeling and the ends were gold plated and looked well-made. Both ends fit very well into the DVI and Thunderbolt ports with no play or looseness.When I plugged them in, I got instant joy from the Macbook! It regonized the monitors and made both of them extensions of the main screen and they even had their own task bars and docks. Overall I would say that these are awesome cables that do exactly what they are intended to do! I now have a 3 monitor workspace that I can use on my projects.
