FAQs
What is the difference between DVI-D Single Link and Dual Link?
DVI-D Dual Link offers double the bandwidth of Single Link, allowing for higher resolutions and refresh rates. This Lindy cable is a Dual Link cable, supporting up to 2560x1600@60Hz.
Can this cable transmit audio?
No, DVI-D cables are designed for video transmission only and do not carry audio signals. You will need a separate audio cable for sound.
What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?
This DVI-D Dual Link cable supports resolutions up to 2560x1600 pixels at 60Hz.
Is this cable compatible with DVI-I ports?
This is a DVI-D cable, which supports digital signals only. While it may physically fit into a DVI-I port, it will only utilize the digital pins. For full compatibility with DVI-I (which supports both analog and digital), a DVI-I cable would be necessary.
What does '28AWG' mean for the conductors?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 28AWG means the conductors are of a standard thickness, providing good conductivity for its intended use.
How do I clean the connectors?
Ensure the cable is disconnected. Gently wipe the metal contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the gold plating.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The Lindy 36252 DVI-D Dual Link cable comes with a 10-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
No image displayed on the monitor.
Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the correct DVI-D ports on your computer and monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the DVI input source. Check if the graphics driver on your computer is up to date.
Flickering or distorted image.
Ensure the DVI connectors are fully seated and thumb screws are tightened. Check for any physical damage to the cable. Try a different DVI cable to rule out a cable fault. Ensure the refresh rate and resolution are supported by both the monitor and graphics card.
Lower resolution than expected.
Confirm that your graphics card and monitor support the desired resolution and that the cable is a Dual Link DVI-D cable. Check your display settings in the operating system to select the correct resolution.
