DisplayPort 1.2 to DVI active cable

The Tripp Lite P581-006-V2 connects a DisplayPort 1.2 source to a DVI-D display using a single six-foot cable. A latching DisplayPort male plug and a DVI-D male plug eliminate the need for a separate adapter. It is built for users who want to keep an existing DVI monitor, projector or digital sign instead of purchasing a new DisplayPort screen.

Resolution limits and signal conversion

The cable supports computer video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and high-definition video up to 1920 x 1080. It converts both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output, making it suitable for graphics cards such as AMD Eyefinity that do not output DP++ signals. Active signal regeneration allows the 6 ft length to maintain integrity without external power. Buyers who need resolutions above 1920 x 1200 or refresh rates beyond what the DVI-D link permits cannot use this cable.

Shielding, connectors and daily handling

First-class foil and braid shielding protects the signal from EMI and RFI interference. Gold-plated contacts provide consistent conductivity over repeated insertions. The latched DisplayPort connector resists accidental disconnection when equipment is moved or cables are routed behind desks. The fixed six-foot length reduces clutter but offers no slack for wide monitor placements or rack-mounted devices that sit farther from the source.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 6 ft version or a different length for my DisplayPort 1.2 to DVI setup?

This model is a 6 ft cable; choose it when that reach fits your desk layout, otherwise select a different length from the same series.

What does the 1920 x 1200 resolution figure mean once the cable is connected to my monitor?

It means the cable can carry computer video up to 1920 x 1200 and HD video up to 1920 x 1080, so a 1080p or 1920 x 1200 display will run at its native resolution.

How does the DisplayPort 1.2 interface affect what resolutions are possible with this active adapter?

The DisplayPort 1.2 connection enables the active circuitry to convert both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode signals, supporting up to 1920 x 1200 without needing a DP++ source.
