Product Information

Full details

This kenable 004735 DVI-D Dual Link cable is designed for users who need a reliable digital video connection between compatible devices like monitors, TVs, and projectors. Its primary benefit is delivering high-quality digital display with minimal interference, thanks to gold-plated connectors and ferrites. A key consideration is that it's DVI-D (digital only) and will not work with analog signals.

FAQs

What is the difference between DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-I?

DVI-D (Digital) transmits only digital signals. DVI-A (Analog) transmits only analog signals. DVI-I (Integrated) can transmit both digital and analog signals. This cable is DVI-D, meaning it's for digital-only connections.

Can this cable transmit audio?

No, DVI cables, including this DVI-D cable, are designed for video transmission only. You will need a separate audio cable for sound.

What resolution can this cable support?

As a Dual Link DVI-D cable, it can support resolutions up to 2560x1600 at 60Hz, provided both the source device and display also support this resolution and refresh rate.

Will this cable work with my older monitor that has a blue DVI port?

The blue DVI port typically indicates analog (DVI-A or DVI-I analog mode). This cable is DVI-D (digital only) and will not work with analog-only inputs.

How do I know if my device has a DVI-D port?

DVI-D ports usually have 24 pins arranged in four rows with a single row of pins to the side (24+1 pinout) or a block of pins. They do not have the extra pins associated with analog signals found on DVI-I ports.

What do the ferrites on the cable do?

The cylindrical ferrite cores act as chokes, suppressing high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can degrade the video signal quality, especially over longer distances or in environments with many electronic devices.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed / 'No Signal' message

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to DVI-D ports on both devices. Ensure the display input is set to the correct DVI source. Confirm both devices are powered on and that the source device is outputting a signal compatible with the display (check resolution and refresh rate settings). Test with a different DVI cable if possible.

Flickering or distorted image

Check the cable connections for looseness. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is routed away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference. If the issue persists, try a different DVI cable. Ensure the graphics card drivers are up to date.

Lower resolution than expected

This cable is Dual Link DVI-D, supporting higher resolutions. Check your graphics card settings and monitor's supported resolutions. Ensure the cable is fully seated. If using a Single Link port on either device, performance may be limited.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clear, high-quality digital video signal.
  • Gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity and durability.
  • Ferrite cores minimize interference for a stable picture.
  • Dual Link capability supports higher resolutions and refresh rates.
  • Plug and Play functionality ensures easy setup.

Cons

  • Only compatible with DVI-D (digital) devices; not backward compatible with analog DVI-A or DVI-I (analog modes).
  • The 2-meter length might be too short for some setups.
  • Lacks support for audio transmission, requiring a separate audio cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source device (e.g., computer graphics card) and the display device (e.g., monitor, TV) have DVI-D ports.
  2. Power off both devices before connecting the cable.
  3. Align the 24+1 pin connector of the cable with the corresponding DVI-D port on each device and gently push until secure. Do not force the connector.
  4. Secure the connection using the screws on the connector, if applicable.
  5. Power on the source device, followed by the display device.
  6. Your display should automatically detect the signal (Plug and Play).

Compatibility:

  • This is a DVI-D Dual Link cable, meaning it is designed exclusively for *digital* video signals.
  • It is *not* compatible with DVI-A (analog) or DVI-I (integrated analog/digital) ports if they are only configured for analog input.
  • Always confirm that both your source and display devices support DVI-D connections.
  • This cable does not transmit audio. Separate audio cables (e.g., 3.5mm jack, HDMI audio) are required for sound.

Care:

  • Keep the connectors clean by using a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid bending the cable sharply or placing heavy objects on it.
  • Store the cable in a dry place when not in use.
  • Periodically check the cable for any signs of damage.
