Product Information

Full details

This Lindy Gold Line DVI-D Single Link cable is designed for professionals requiring high-performance, reliable video transmission over long distances. Its key benefit is superior signal integrity, supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz, even at its full 15m length. A potential caveat is that it is a Single Link cable, limiting it to resolutions and refresh rates that do not require Dual Link bandwidth.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?

This DVI-D Single Link cable supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixels at a 60Hz refresh rate, and HD resolutions up to 1080p.

Is this cable compatible with DVI-I or DVI-A ports?

No, this is a DVI-D cable and is only compatible with DVI-D ports. It is not compatible with DVI-I or DVI-A connectors.

Can I use this cable for higher resolutions like 2560x1440?

No, this is a DVI-D Single Link cable, which has a bandwidth limitation. Higher resolutions like 2560x1440 typically require DVI Dual Link or other modern interfaces like DisplayPort or HDMI.

Why does my screen flicker with this cable?

Flickering can be caused by a loose connection, interference, or operating outside the cable's supported bandwidth. Ensure connections are secure and the resolution/refresh rate are within the 1920x1200@60Hz limit for Single Link.

What does 'low attenuation' mean for this cable?

Low attenuation means the cable is designed to lose very little signal strength over its length. This ensures a clearer and more stable video signal, especially important for a 15m cable.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the gold-plated contacts. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the plating or contacts.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy Gold Line cable comes with a 25-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No signal or display shows 'No Input Signal'

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the source and display devices. Ensure the display is set to the correct input source (DVI-D). Check if the source device is outputting a compatible DVI-D signal. Try a shorter, known-working cable to rule out cable failure.

Flickering or distorted image

Check for loose connections. Ensure the cable is not subjected to strong electromagnetic interference; reposition if possible. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Verify the resolution and refresh rate are within the supported limits of the cable and connected devices (1920x1200@60Hz for Single Link).

Reduced video quality or 'snow' on screen

This often indicates a weak signal. Ensure connections are firm. If the distance is at the maximum (15m), check if the source device can output a stronger signal or consider a shorter cable if possible. Inspect the cable for damage.

Cable does not fit into port

Confirm you are using a DVI-D port. This cable is DVI-D Single Link and will not fit DVI-I, DVI-A, HDMI, or DisplayPort connectors. Ensure no pins are bent on the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent signal quality over long distances due to low attenuation and gold-plated contacts.
  • Robust build with metal connectors and triple shielding for enhanced durability and interference reduction.
  • Supports high resolutions (up to 1920x1200@60Hz), suitable for professional display needs.
  • Reliable for demanding professional environments where signal integrity is crucial.
  • Comes with a 25-year warranty, indicating manufacturer confidence in product longevity.

Cons

  • It is a DVI-D *Single Link* cable, which may limit compatibility with very high refresh rates or resolutions that require Dual Link bandwidth.
  • The gold color might not match all system aesthetics.
  • Being a passive cable, its performance is dependent on the source and display devices.

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 Single Link ports.
  2. Power off both the source and display devices before connecting the cable.
  3. Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the DVI-D output port on the source device.
  4. Connect the other end to the DVI-D input port on the display device.
  5. Secure the connectors using the thumbscrews on each end, if applicable.
  6. Power on the display device first, followed by the source device.
  7. Configure display settings in your operating system if the resolution or refresh rate is not automatically detected.

Compatibility:

  • This is a DVI-D Single Link cable, compatible with DVI-D Single Link ports.
  • It is *not* compatible with DVI-I or DVI-A ports, nor is it compatible with HDMI or DisplayPort connections without adapters.
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz. Higher resolutions or refresh rates requiring Dual Link bandwidth will not function correctly.

Care:

  • Store the cable in a clean, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable.
  • Periodically inspect the connectors for dust or debris. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquids or solvents.
  • Ensure connections are secure but do not overtighten screws.
