There's no point in getting a single-link cable like this one, since dual-link (DVI-D to DVI-D) cables are fully compatible, and no more expensive. That way you know that you'll be able to use dual-link devices in future with the same cable.

I was disappointed with this meter because it only registers the energy consumption while it is plugged in. A momentary power cut or someone turning the socket off loses the measurements which have been made. This means that at the best of times you have to read the measurements squatting on the floor (or use an extension cable): you cannot remove the meter from the socket before reading it.
I was also doubtful about its ability to measure low currents, e.g. the power consumption of transformers used for low voltage devices when those devices are switched off (energy is still consumed in the transformer's primary circuit, which is why it remains warm).
After about 6 months the device stopped working. I replaced it ... Read More:

I have had a couple of Belkin units, including this one, fail to protect my equipment. Once a PC just died one day, and I found burn marks on the motherboard PSU connector. The other time with this exact unit there was a lightning strike nearby, and the computer PSU was fried along with my monitor and HiFi amplifier.
Both times I tried to claim from Belkin on their warranty. They make it very hard, and you have to send them the damaged equipment. In both cases they at first refused to pay up, but eventually I got some compensation out of them. Nothing like the value of the items though, only their "second hand" value which for Belkin means car boot sale prices.
I now have a Tripp-Lite and touch wood have no had any problems.
