Q: What’s the difference between passive and active DisplayPort adapters?

A: If your video source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), you can use a passive adapter to send DisplayPort video to a single-link DVI or HDMI monitor. The DP++ video source
     performs the conversion instead of the adapter. Source devices that support dual-mode DisplayPort are usually marked with the DP++ logo. If you’re connecting to multiple monitors,
     you might need an active adapter.

          you might need an active adapter.
  
 Q: What is an active DisplayPort adapter?

  A: An active DisplayPort adapter converts both single-mode and dual-mode output, so your connected video sources don’t have to support DP++. The adapter performs the conversion
          from DisplayPort to VGA, DVI or HDMI instead of the source device. Active adapters/converters are ideal for use with graphic cards such as AMD Eyefinity™ that do not output dual-mode
          signals.

  Q: How to tell if a DisplayPort adapter is active or passive

   A: Basically, if the adapter includes a little box that houses the conversation chip it is active. If the adapter cable is no bigger than a regular plug, it is most likely passive.
