UNITEK Y-5118BA DisplayPort to DVI-D Cable (1.8 Meter), 1920×1200 @60Hz Active Adapter Cable for Connecting Laptop, PC to Monitor, Projector, HDTV

Bridge the gap between your new computer and a trusted older display. The UNITEK DisplayPort to DVI Cable is a simple, effective solution for connecting modern graphics cards and laptops to high-quality DVI monitors and projectors. It delivers a pure digital signal conversion, ensuring you get the best possible picture quality from your legacy display without needing a new monitor.

Seamless Digital Connection

First and foremost, this cable solves a common connectivity problem. Many modern PCs and business laptops feature DisplayPort outputs, while many office monitors and home theater projectors still rely on DVI inputs. This cable creates a perfect bridge, providing a reliable display extension solution for your setup.

Engineered for Clarity and Reliability

Unlike a passive adapter, this is an active cable with a built-in chipset that ensures a stable and accurate digital-to-digital conversion. This guarantees support for the full 1920×1200 resolution at 60Hz, making it perfect for detailed office work, coding, or media playback. For powering your devices, consider a stable UGREEN power adapter.

Built to Last in Any Environment

The cable is constructed for daily use with durable PVC jacketing and robust connectors. The molded strain relief prevents damage at the connection points, which are often the first point of failure. This makes it a dependable accessory for fixed installations in offices, schools, or home entertainment centers.

10 FAQs:

1. Will this cable work with my laptop that has a Mini DisplayPort?

No. This cable has a full-size DisplayPort connector. If your laptop has a Mini DisplayPort or USB-C, you will need a different adapter. Check our Mini DisplayPort adapters for the right solution.

2. Does it support audio transmission?

No. DVI is a video-only interface. This cable transmits video signals only. To get audio to your display, you will need a separate audio cable from your computer’s headphone or line-out jack.

3. Is this an active or passive cable?

This is an active cable. It contains a small chip to convert the DisplayPort signal to a DVI signal. This allows it to support higher resolutions and longer lengths more reliably than a simple passive adapter.

4. What is the maximum refresh rate at 1920×1080 (1080p)?

At 1080p resolution, this cable supports a refresh rate of 60Hz, which is the standard for smooth video playback and desktop use.

5. Will it work with a DVI-I or DVI-A monitor?

It will only work with DVI-D monitors (digital-only). The connector is physically compatible with DVI-I ports, but it will not work with DVI-A (analog-only) displays.

6. Does it require external power or drivers?

No. The active components are powered directly through the DisplayPort connection from your computer. It is plug-and-play and does not require any software drivers.

7. Can I use it to connect my PC to a TV for gaming?

Yes, if your TV has a DVI input. You will get high-quality video. Remember, you will need a separate audio solution, and ensure your TV’s DVI port supports HDCP if you plan to watch protected content.

8. Is the cable bi-directional? Can I connect a DVI source to a DisplayPort monitor?

No. This is a unidirectional cable designed only to connect a DisplayPort source to a DVI display. It will not work in reverse.
