DisplayPort to DVI-I adapter cable

The AddOn FH973AT-AO is an 8-inch passive adapter cable with a DisplayPort male connector on one end and a DVI-I 29-pin female connector on the other. It is built for users who need to link a DisplayPort source to a DVI monitor across a short distance. The compact length keeps desk clutter minimal while maintaining a direct signal path.

Connector flexibility and signal support

The DVI-I female port accepts any male DVI cable whether it uses 19, 25 or 29 pins, so existing DVI cables can be reused without replacement. The adapter requires a DP++ port on the source device because it relies on the port to output DVI and HDMI signalling through the DisplayPort interface. No active electronics or external power are involved in the conversion.

Resolution headroom and distance limit

The cable supports resolutions up to 2560x1600, which covers common high-resolution DVI monitors used in office and creative workstations. Because it is a passive design limited to 8 inches, it cannot drive longer runs or extend beyond the DP++ signalling capability. Buyers needing longer reach or active signal conversion for non-DP++ ports will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Will the DVI-I female port accept my existing 19-pin or 25-pin DVI cables, or only 29-pin cables?

The 29-pin female port accepts 19-pin, 25-pin and 29-pin male DVI cables, so any standard DVI cable you already own will fit.

What is the maximum resolution this passive adapter can deliver to a DVI monitor?

It supports resolutions up to 2560x1600 when connected to a DP++ port on the source device.

Does the adapter draw extra power or generate noticeable heat during continuous all-day operation?

As a passive cable it draws no external power and produces no measurable heat during sustained use.
