FAQs
What is the difference between DVI-D and DVI-I cables?
DVI-D cables carry digital signals only, whilst DVI-I cables support both digital and analogue signals. The 8Ware DVI-DD1 is a DVI-D cable designed for purely digital video connections.
What is dual-link DVI and why does it matter?
Dual-link DVI uses two data channels to support higher resolutions than single-link DVI. This cable supports resolutions up to 2560×1600, making it suitable for high-definition displays and professional monitors.
Can I use this cable with gaming consoles?
Yes, if your gaming console has a DVI-D output port, this cable will work. However, most modern gaming systems use HDMI, which is more common than DVI-D.
Is 1.5m long enough for my setup?
1.5m is suitable for most desktop installations where the monitor or display is positioned within arm's reach of the source device. For longer distances, you may need to consider alternative cable lengths or use a signal booster.
What does 28 AWG mean?
AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper conductors. 28 AWG is a standard gauge that balances flexibility with signal integrity for this cable length.
Does this cable support audio?
No. DVI-D cables carry video signals only. For audio, you will need a separate audio connection such as a 3.5mm jack or optical digital audio cable.
