FAQs
What is DVI-D single link?
DVI-D single link uses a subset of the DVI connector pins to transmit video signals. It is limited in bandwidth and typically supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz. This cable is designed exclusively for this type of connection.
Can this cable transmit audio?
No, this DVI-D to HDMI cable does not transmit audio signals. Audio must be routed separately.
Will this cable work with a DVI-I or DVI-A port?
No, this cable is specifically for DVI-D connections. It will not work with DVI-I (which supports analog and digital) or DVI-A (analog only) ports.
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?
The cable supports a maximum resolution of 1080p (1920x1080 pixels) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
What is the AWG wire size for this cable?
For the 5-meter length, the AWG wire size is 30 AWG.
Can I use this cable to connect an HDMI source to a DVI-D display?
No, this cable is designed for HDMI input and DVI-D output only. You would need a different cable or adapter for the reverse connection.
What is the connector plating?
The connectors are gold-flashed, which helps to ensure good conductivity and prevent corrosion for a more stable signal.
Troubleshooting
No signal or 'Input Not Supported' message
Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Confirm that your source device's DVI-D port is single link and that your display's HDMI input is selected. Ensure the source device is set to output 1080p resolution or lower.
Flickering or distorted image
Check the cable connections for looseness. Try a different HDMI input on your display. Ensure the cable is not damaged or bent excessively. If possible, test with a shorter or different cable to rule out a cable defect.
No sound
This cable does not transmit audio. You will need a separate audio cable connection from your source device to your speakers or audio system.
Resolution not displaying correctly
Access your source device's display settings and manually set the resolution to 1080p or a compatible lower resolution. Ensure your display also supports the selected resolution.
