Dp to dvi cable
DP (DisplayPort) to DVI Cable
A DisplayPort to DVI cable is a digital-to-digital video cable used to connect a modern computer or graphics card (equipped with a DisplayPort) to an older monitor or projector that uses a DVI input.
Key Technical Features
-
Directional Signal: This cable is unidirectional. It works only from a DisplayPort source (computer) to a DVI display (monitor). It will not work if you try to connect a DVI computer to a DisplayPort monitor.
-
Passive vs. Active: Most standard cables are "Passive," which works perfectly with DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort) ports found on most modern PCs.
-
Digital Clarity: Since both interfaces are digital, there is no signal loss or "fuzziness" often associated with VGA.
-
Resolution Support: Generally supports up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p (Full HD) at 60Hz.
