Single-Cable Connection

This passive cable links a DisplayPort-equipped computer directly to a DVI-D monitor without separate adapters or driver installation. The 6.56 ft length gives flexibility for desk or projector placement while the latching DisplayPort connector resists accidental disconnection. Gold-plated contacts and a PVC jacket protect signal integrity across the run.

Office and Legacy Display Users

The cable suits anyone adding a DVI monitor to a modern laptop or desktop that only offers DisplayPort output. It is not for buyers who need audio carried over the same link, since the adapter is video-only. Builders requiring resolutions above 1920x1200 or active signal conversion for longer distances should look at a different solution.

Passive 1920x1200 Limit

Maximum supported resolution is 1920x1200 at 1080p, which matches common office panels and projectors. Because the design is passive, the source must provide a DP++ dual-mode signal; systems without that capability will not drive the DVI display through this cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 20-pin DisplayPort male connector on this cable work with my older DVI-D monitor that uses a 25-pin input?

Yes, the cable has a 20-pin DisplayPort male connector on one end and a 25-pin DVI-D male connector on the other, designed to link a DisplayPort source directly to a DVI display.

How can I verify the passive cable is delivering the supported 1920x1200 resolution after connecting it?

Check your operating system display settings; the monitor should report its native resolution up to 1920x1200 or 1080p without needing driver installation.

Does the 6.56 ft package include any separate adapters or driver discs for the DP++ connection?

No, the all-in-one cable design requires no extra adapters or software; the box contains only the single male-to-male cable with gold-plated connectors.
