All the ones I see do not have termination. A close examination of the jumpers on the majority of those pictured reveals a jumper for termination power, but none for termination. Also, a close look at the photos indicates that there are no components on the board that could provide termination, even if there were a jumper. For an adapter to have termination, there must be something like resistor packs or small voltage regulators. I want to believe. But so far, I'm not seeing it.
