FAQs

What is the difference between DVI-D Dual Link and DVI-D Single Link?

DVI-D Dual Link uses two sets of data transmitters to double the bandwidth, enabling higher resolutions (like 2560x1600) and refresh rates compared to Single Link, which is limited to lower resolutions (e.g., 1920x1200).

Can this cable be used with DVI-I or DVI-A ports?

This is a DVI-D cable, meaning it carries a digital signal only. It will physically fit into DVI-I ports, but it will only transmit the digital signal. It is not compatible with DVI-A (analog) ports.

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

The Lindy Gold Line DVI-D Dual Link cable supports resolutions up to 2560x1600 pixels at a 60Hz refresh rate.

How long is this specific cable?

The product description specifies this particular cable is 2 meters in length. The Gold Line series is available in various lengths from 0.5m to 25m.

Is this cable suitable for gaming?

Yes, for gaming setups that utilize DVI-D connections and require high resolutions, this cable provides excellent signal integrity. However, modern high-end gaming often uses DisplayPort or HDMI.

What does 'low attenuation' mean for this cable?

Low attenuation means the cable loses very little signal strength over its length. This is crucial for maintaining a clear and stable image, especially on longer cable runs or at high resolutions.

What is the data transfer rate?

This cable supports a data transfer rate of 9.9 Gbit/s, which is necessary for high-resolution and high-refresh-rate DVI-D Dual Link signals.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed

Verify both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the display. Check that the graphics card drivers are up to date on the source device. Confirm the display supports the resolution being output.

Flickering or distorted image

Check the cable connections for looseness. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Try a different DVI-D Dual Link cable to rule out a cable fault. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate are supported by both the source and display.

Reduced resolution or refresh rate

Confirm the cable is a Dual Link type and that both ends are properly seated. Ensure the graphics card and display both support the desired higher resolution and refresh rate. Update graphics card drivers.

Cable feels loose in the port

Gently tighten the thumb screws on both connectors. If the issue persists, the port on the device may be worn, or the cable's connector may need service.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source device (e.g., computer graphics card) and the display device (e.g., monitor, projector) have DVI-D Dual Link ports.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the DVI-D output port on the source device.
  3. Connect the other end to the DVI-D input port on the display device.
  4. Tighten the thumb screws on both connectors gently but securely to ensure a firm connection. Do not overtighten.
  5. Power on your devices.

Compatibility:

  • Connectors: DVI-D Male to DVI-D Male. This cable supports digital signals only.
  • Resolutions: Supports DVI resolutions up to 2560x1600@60Hz and HD resolutions up to 1080p.
  • Devices: Compatible with graphics cards, monitors, projectors, and other devices featuring DVI-D Dual Link ports.
  • Certifications: Compliant with RoHS, REACH, and UL standards.

Care:

  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid using solvents.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Route the cable neatly to prevent stress on the connectors and cable jacket.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use, within the specified storage temperature range (-25 to 85 °C).
  • Ensure the cable is protected from physical damage, especially the connectors and strain relief.
