Know before you buy
An active adapter contains an internal chip that converts the signal itself, allowing it to work with any DisplayPort source, including those that do not support DP++ (dual-mode). This ensures compatibility with a wider range of computers and graphics cards.
Yes, this adapter supports high-definition video up to 1080p and computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, making it a perfect fit for standard DVI displays.
No. DVI is a video-only interface, so this adapter will only carry the video signal from your computer to your monitor.
Yes, the DisplayPort end features a latching mechanism that locks the connector into the port, preventing it from being pulled out accidentally.
No, this cable is designed for one-way conversion only. It connects a DisplayPort source, such as a computer, to a DVI display, not the other way around.
