Overview
- The 8ware DisplayPort to DVI-D cable is a passive video adapter designed to bridge modern DisplayPort outputs with legacy DVI-D displays. With 2 metres of reach, gold-plated connectors, and robust 28AWG copper construction, it provides stable, interference-free video transmission for Full HD resolutions up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz. This cable is ideal for offices, design studios, and home entertainment systems where DVI displays remain in use alongside newer DisplayPort-equipped devices.
The passive design ensures compatibility with any DisplayPort output equipped with D++ support. Gold-plating protects connectors from oxidation and corrosion, extending cable lifespan and maintaining signal quality over time. The 2-metre length accommodates typical desk configurations and monitor positioning without requiring adapters or extension cables.
Please note: this cable converts DisplayPort to DVI-D only and does not support audio transmission or bidirectional conversion (DVI to DisplayPort). Verify your source device supports D++ before purchase and consult your device manual regarding audio output expectations.
