Advantages

This DisplayPort to DVI-D cable delivers a stable digital-only connection designed to preserve image quality when linking DisplayPort sources to DVI displays. The fixed 1.00 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for desk setups where devices are close together. The male-to-male connectors provide direct plug-and-play operation with compatible ports and do not require drivers. Constructed for everyday use, the cable is suitable for repeated plug/unplug cycles and typical office or home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or desktop DisplayPort output to a DVI-D monitor
• Linking docking stations to single-link DVI projectors or displays
• Short-run video connections in offices, classrooms, or home workstations

Key specifications

• Connector 1: DisplayPort (male)
• Connector 2: DVI-D (male, digital only)
• Cable length: 1.00 m

How to use

Ensure both source and display are powered off or in a low-power state before connecting. Insert the DisplayPort male connector into the DisplayPort output on the computer or docking station and insert the DVI-D male connector into the monitor or projector DVI-D input. Power on the display and the source device; the operating system should detect the external display automatically. Adjust resolution and display settings on the source device as needed to match the capabilities of the DVI display.

Recommendations

Use this cable for direct digital video connections only; it does not carry audio. For higher resolutions or multi-channel audio requirements, consider a native DisplayPort or HDMI connection supported by your display. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent strain to prolong service life.
