Extension cables for 30" cinema display

Like many others, having trouble with the absurd shortness of the cable on the cinema displays. Short of having my G5 parked almost on the table next to it, doesn't leave you with many options!
After a bit of 'research' have discovered this...

It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
How about this one?
922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more! My parts drawer is always full of them. They like to knot up by themselves as well! Maybe that's how they breed.

Cable for macbook - cinema display

Hi -- Anyone know which adapter cable I need to connect a 20" Cinema Display to a circa 2007 Macbook (12", white plastic)? Many thanks!

You will need a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

If it is the plastic 20" with ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

Replace DVI cable for 20in Cinema Display

Need to replace the DVI portion on the power/connector coming from the back of the display. It was ripped out when someone attempted to steal. Is this possible or do I have to buy another monitor?

Apple or an authorized repair center can fix it, but it may not be worth the cost.

New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays ???

I seem to recall that during the WWDC New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays were made public.
What are these new specs ?
Or am I mistaken?<<br>
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks a.brody
The Online Apple Store and the Apple dealers here in Germany either don't seem to be aware of the new specs or they have a lot of the "older" displays (Brightnes: 270 cd/m2 Contrast: 400:1) left in stock which they want or need "to get rid of".
I'm thinking of ordering either a 23" or a 30" for my MacPro, but the new spec cinema displays are not yet available here.

ITrigue L3800 - Where do I get extension cables for the left & right speaker ? HELP !

@ reader : I have already contacted Creative Labs themselves but they unfortunately do not offer any extension cables that run between the left or right speaker and the sub-woofer. And since the connection into the sub is a weird looking '3 pins stacked on eachother' type, I am wondering if anyone has seen extension cables for connections like these.
I am grateful for any help on the issue (adresses, weblinks etc.), because it is really bothering me and the way I want to set up the system in my living room !
Have a great day !

OMS. If you can still find it. try searching for Opcode OMS (open music system) You need it to run usb midi interfaces in OS9. Good luck, I'd seriously consider getting Logic express.

Hi, who can tell me where i can get replacement for my cinema display 65W power adapter?

If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)

Extension cable for Apple 24" LED Cinema Display

Purchased the newly refreshed Mac Pro (Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor) and an Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. (The new graphics cards support the mini displayport.) They work well together and I am happy with the results.
There is a snag. The cable on the monitor is too short to reach my computer, which needs to go under the desk. The cable on the display is hard wired. I would prefer not to drill a new hole in the desk if I can avoid it.
The obvious solution would be an extender cable. I find a number of cables that support the displayport standard, but all are M to M. In fact, Belkin notes that their cables are NOT for Apple's mini displayport. The Apple store has nothing on its site, call to the Apple store yielded no solution, and I live four hours from the nearest Apple store. Apple after moving to standard solutions appears to have gone back to a proprietary one again.
I cannot be the only one having this problem. Anybody found a way to extend this cable?

It is around two feet long. I would not have a problem with this if I could extend it or Apple had adopted the standard cable with female connector on the display so I could purchase a longer cable. Apple has a long history of slipping into proprietary solutions that are often good (e.g., magsafe on MacBook) but tend to cramp ones ability to come up with solutions they have not thought of.
There are a growing number of m-m cables that would work from various vendors like Belkin, but I have found no extenders from Apple or any other vendor.
As to the monitor itself, I LOVE it. I am sure there will be a solution eventually. I have the new Mac Pro and monitor on the kitchen counter. Not sure how long my wife's patience will last.

Thunderbolt extension cable for apple display?

I was so excited when I received my Promise Pagasus raid system. But there is a problem:
I have a macbook pro, an Apple thunderbolt display and now I would like to daisy chain the Pegasus between the display and the computer. The problem is that the cable coming from the display is extremely short after the point where it splits up. Unless I put the Pegasus (a large box) right next to my laptop on the desk (no room for that) I cannot daisy chain. A thunderbolt extension cable would do the trick, but they do not exist?
I am sure somebody else has run into this problem, please share your solution.
Thank you!

- Just to verify... your MacBook Pro "HAS" Thunderbolt, correct??
- You already have a "Thunderbolt Display"???? How did you manage that? I haven't seen any in any store yet or heard of anyone else getting them yet.

The display has 3 cables going into the mac:
1. thunderbolt (this is where the data goes through)
2. usb (provides the usb connection to the hub on the back of display)
3. power (provides power to computer)
Are you saying there is a "USB" cable/connector coming from the display?? If so, that is NOT a Thunderbolt display.
From everything documented, the Thunderbolt display looks like this: (the only cables built-in are the normal A/C power cable, then one main cable that has (2) plugs at the end... 1) the magnetic power adapter that connects to laptops... and 2) a Thunderbolt plug.
Is this what your display looks like?
*** OR **** Does Your display ACTUALLY look like this one (which is the older 24-inch LED Cinema Display): This one actually had a USB cable/plug as one of the "Built-In" cables. If this IS what you actually have, it is NOT a Thunderbolt display, although it WILL still work with laptops and the hard drives that DO have Thunderbolt.

Minimal extension cable for 30" display and macbook

I want to use the 30" Cinema display with my macbook, and my macbook wants to be in my lap. This is incompatible with the medussa's head of cords coming out of the video cable and the display's power brick. All I need is about 4 more feet of extension for video cable ONLY -- I don't need to connect the firewire and USB cords from the monitor to my macbook. So my question is this: what is the minimal cord I need to extend just the dual-link dvi output a little farther from the power brick? Do I really need to spend $300 for the fancy 10 meter cables I see when I search for "DVI extension cable" ??
Thoughts or advice, anyone?

You can get a 3' or 6' dual-link DVI cable here for $30 or $40.
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/cables/hdmi_dvi.jsp#dvidl>
Unfortunately it is male to male so you will need an adapter such as

There may be cheaper ones, but make sure you get dual-link.

Optimum extension cabling for 20-inch Cinema

I need to add up to 2 meters distance between my MacPro and my 20 inch cinema display.
Is there an extension cable on the market that combines the video/firewire/USB cables and thereby accomodate the original cable, or
Do I have to extend these cables separately?
I ran across a 3 meter extension for the video cable? Can I just connect this up and expect it to work or will some kind of booster or other active component be required?
Can firewire & USB be extended 2-3 meters without ill effects?
My ideal is a 2 meter extender cable that mates perfectly with the 3 functions in the original cable, and you just connect it up and go ... is this possible?

Thanks. Your reference puts me on the right trail.
The cited reference seems to imply there's a non-active version of the apple combo cable that would work for the 20 inch cinema ... but I'll be damned if I can find it. Hopefully I can get some direct feedback from Geffen about it.
Careful measurements show that I really only need to extend my original combo cable 3 feet. Are you proposing that I just use one of their 'copper' DVI extension cables, a gender adapter and separately buy extensions for the USB and Firewire.

Firewire question for 30" Cinema Display

Hooked up display this afernoon. AWESOME. Have a question about the firewire that comes off the display -- there is a plug-in for the power adapter, the DVI, the USB and the firewire. oddly, the firewire does not fit into any of the three firewire ports on the PowerMac G5. This is one of the first models -- had to upgrade graphics card -- checked another G5 which is newer model --- same firewire ports. It appears only to have 3 gold spots inside (3 pins?) Anyone can shed any light on how I plug this in? Display works great without it --- am I guessing that without this plugged in I can't use the firewire ports on the actual display?
Emailing me at [email protected] is always an option. Thanks.

The cables are M-M so, depending on the length, you will need a F-F gender changer
<http://www.worldofcables.com/store/viewItem.asp?idproduct=773>
or booster <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2938>
If you are really serious about electrical shielding in the room you may want to consider a fibre-optic DVI link
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2600>
For the DC power, if you can't find a matching connector, just cut the cable and use your own connectors and wire to make an extension. Presumably, you have to run the wires through a filter where they enter the shielded room, so a ready-made extension cable wouldn't be enough, anyway.
Have you checked for electrical radiation from the display itself? It may need some metal mesh in front of the screen, attached to the metal case all around.

DVI Adapter for LED Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort?

Is there an adapter for use with the new LED Cinema display port? I expect the new Mini's to switch to the Mini DisplayPort, if there is a new Mini, but in the meantime ...
Now that everything is going black, glass and aluminum, when is Apple going to update:
1) Keyboards to black keys?
2) Mouse to black and/or aluminum?
3) Mini, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule to black & aluminum?
4) Power Adapters, Airport Express, cables, etc. to black and/or aluminum?
Finally a unified product line/look!

Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

Want to use a TV as a third monitor for Digital Cinema Display....HELP!

Hey Guys,
Here's my set up, please tell me where I am going wrong:
I have 2 22" LCD Monitors that I use for my main work. I added a second card to my MacPro so that I could add an additional monitor. Now I have a DVI to HDMI cable going to my Plasma that I want to use as playback for clients and such. Here's where it gets weird... In After Effects, I can use the Plasma in Digital Cinema Preview for Playback and Previews...works great. Then, when I open up Final Cut I have problems. First, when I go to "Digital Cinema Desktop - Full Screen" it display one frame and stay on that one frame even during playback. So then I changed my Sequence settings thinking my TV couldn't handle that Sequence. No I get a White Screen with no playback at all, not even the one frame. Now the weird part is that if I change the TV to my "Main Screen" in Monitor Prefs, and set Digital Cinema to "Main" it plays back fine. So, if I can playback with it as my main, why can't I playback otherwise? And...if it works in After Effects, why is Final Cut Having Problems with it? It's set to "All Frames" and "Desktop Mirroring". Thoughts? I have seen this set up work before...what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.
