Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cable compatible with DVI-I or DVI-A ports?
This cable is specifically designed for DVI-D (Digital) connections. While it might physically fit into DVI-I or DVI-A ports, it will only transmit digital signals. It will not work if the port requires an analog signal (DVI-A) or supports both digital and analog (DVI-I) and is configured for analog output.
Does this cable transmit audio?
No, the DVI-D standard does not support audio transmission. You will need a separate audio cable to connect your audio output to your speakers or sound system.
What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?
This cable supports DVI resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, which includes HDTV resolutions up to 1080p.
What does 'low attenuation' mean for this cable?
Low attenuation means the cable is designed to minimize signal loss over its length. This ensures a cleaner, more stable signal, especially over the 5-meter distance, reducing the risk of picture degradation or dropouts.
Can I use this cable to connect a DVI-D source to an HDMI display?
No, this cable is designed for HDMI source to DVI-D display connections only. It converts the HDMI signal to DVI-D. You would need a DVI-D to HDMI cable or adapter for the reverse connection.
What is the benefit of the 24K gold-plated connectors?
The 24K gold plating provides excellent conductivity and superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a reliable and high-quality connection over the lifetime of the cable.
How does the triple shielding help?
Triple shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources. This is crucial in environments with many electronic devices, helping to maintain signal integrity and prevent data errors.
Troubleshooting
No signal or 'Input Not Supported' message on the display.
Verify that both the HDMI source and DVI-D display are powered on. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Confirm that the display's input is set to the correct DVI-D port. Check that the source device's output resolution is supported by the display (e.g., 1920x1200@60Hz or 1080p).
Flickering or intermittent signal.
Ensure the cable connectors are clean and fully inserted. Check for any physical damage to the cable. If using the full 5m length, ensure there are no significant signal boosters or splitters in between that could degrade the signal. Try a shorter, known-good cable to isolate the issue.
Incorrect or distorted colors.
Check the display's color settings. Ensure the output resolution and refresh rate are correctly configured on the source device and are compatible with the display's capabilities. Verify the cable is a DVI-D cable and not a DVI-I or DVI-A cable, as this can sometimes cause compatibility issues if the ports are not strictly DVI-D.
No audio output.
This is expected behavior. DVI-D does not carry audio signals. Use a separate audio cable (e.g., 3.5mm audio jack or optical cable) to connect your audio output device to your speakers or sound system.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional signal integrity due to premium materials and construction.
- Reliable performance over long distances thanks to low attenuation design.
- Durable build quality with gold-plated connectors and full metal housing.
- Supports high resolutions suitable for professional displays.
- Long 25-year warranty provides peace of mind.
Cons
- Supports DVI-D single-link resolutions; not compatible with DVI-D dual-link or DVI-I.
- HDMI to DVI-D is a digital-only connection and does not carry analog signals.
- Requires separate audio cables as DVI-D does not transmit audio.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the HDMI source device (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player) and the DVI-D display device (e.g., monitor, projector) are powered off.
- Connect the HDMI Type A (Standard) male connector to the HDMI output port on your source device.
- Connect the DVI-D male connector to the DVI-D input port on your display device.
- Power on your display device first, followed by your source device.
- The cable is plug-and-play; no drivers are required.
Compatibility:
- This cable converts HDMI digital signals to DVI-D digital signals.
- It is compatible with devices featuring an HDMI output and a DVI-D single-link input.
- It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz and 1080p.
- Important: DVI-D is a digital-only interface and does not support analog signals. This cable will not work with DVI-A or DVI-I ports expecting analog input. Ensure your devices have compatible DVI-D ports.
- Audio is not transmitted over DVI-D. A separate audio cable will be required if audio is needed.
Care:
- Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to prevent internal damage.
- Gently clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty or dirty. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
