DisplayPort-to-DVI fiber cable

This six-foot fiber-optic cable connects a DisplayPort source to a DVI display with male connectors on both ends. It supports monitors, projectors, LCDs, PCs, Macs and other video devices. The link runs at a rated 1.35 GB/s over the fiber medium. The product is new and carries a lifetime limited warranty.

Sustained signal over distance

Fiber construction keeps the 1.35 GB/s data rate stable across the full six-foot length without the signal loss that copper cables exhibit at higher frequencies. The optical path is immune to electromagnetic interference from nearby power supplies or cables. Both male connectors lock securely to prevent accidental disconnection during extended sessions. The cable is built for continuous operation in fixed installations.

Check source and display ports

Verify that the source device provides a standard DisplayPort output and that the target display accepts a DVI input. The cable carries video only, so separate audio routing is required if sound is needed. Ensure the DisplayPort connector has enough clearance behind the source to seat fully. No external power adapter is required for the fiber link.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.35 GB/s fiber cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day use?

The fiber-optic link runs passively with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no additional power beyond the DisplayPort source.

What ports must my computer and monitor already have for this male-to-male cable to work?

You need a DisplayPort output on the source and a DVI input on the display; both connectors on the cable are male, so no adapters are required.

Will the 6 ft length and 1.35 GB/s bandwidth work reliably with an older DVI monitor that only supports single-link signals?

Yes, the cable carries single-link DVI up to its full 1.35 GB/s rate, so legacy single-link monitors operate normally at the full 6 ft distance.
