What this adapter does

The StarTech CDP2DVIEC converts a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode into a DVI-I single-link output. It supports 1920x1200 resolution at 60Hz and 1080p video. The dongle works with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 devices and is OS independent.

Check your setup first

Your host port must provide DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C for video output. The DVI connector carries a digital-only signal despite its 29-pin DVI-I shape. Audio is not supported through this adapter. Verify your monitor accepts a single-link DVI input.

Build and daily use

A 12-inch attached cable connects the two ends, reducing strain on the host port. The housing measures .60 by 15.00 by 1.70 inches and weighs .07 lb. Inside, PS171 and VL103 chipsets handle the conversion. The black finish matches common laptop aesthetics.

Questions about this item

Does the CDP2DVIEC include a DVI cable or must I supply one?

The adapter has a 12-inch attached cable ending in a DVI-I (29 pin) plug; no separate DVI cable is needed.

The specs list 1920x1200 at 60 Hz and 4K at 30 Hz — which resolution should I expect on my monitor?

You will get 1920x1200 at 60 Hz on any compatible display; 4K at 30 Hz only works if the monitor supports HDMI clock rates over its DVI input.

What does the 1920x1200 60 Hz figure mean when the adapter is connected to a laptop?

It is the maximum digital resolution and refresh rate the adapter can deliver over a single-link DVI connection from a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.
