Active or passive adapter

[uberhall12]

I need an active HDMI to VGA adapter that will convert digital signal from my GTX 1060 to analog signal to my VGA only monitor. I found this one https://www.hama.com/00054569/hama-hdmi-converter-for-vga-and-audio#technical-details , however I've seen some conflicting information, some saying that it is an active adapter but then some saying that it is a passive one. So which one is it?

All HDMI to VGA adapters are active, there is no such thing as a passive HDMI to VGA adapter.

In the (dare I use the word Hi-Fi) arena, a device to convert Digital to Analog signals is commonly referred to as a DAC...digital to analog converter. There are many varieties and prices vary to the power of 10. In addition, many connector types are also available. So, adapt "on".....
