DP2DVIMM6BS - Startech 6ft (1.8m) DisplayPort to DVI Cable, 1080p, Active DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter/Converter Cable,

The DP2DVIMM6BS 6ft active DisplayPort to DVI converter cable lets you connect your DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop directly to a DVI monitor or projector with no additional adapters or cables required -- a cost-effective solution for enabling your new DisplayPort computer to work with an older VGA monitor or projector. Unlike passive adapters, this ensures the DP2DVIMM6BS can be used with graphics cards that are not capable of outputting multimode DP++ signals, such as ATI Eyefinity cards. Plus, because the converter cable supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 you can convert a DisplayPort video source to DVI without sacrificing video quality. The DP2DVIMM6BS is backed by a 3-year StarTech. Note: This adapter is not compatible for use with the Apple Cinema Display.

The STARTECH DP2DVIMM6BS is a 6ft (1.8m) active DisplayPort to DVI-D single-link cable designed for connecting DisplayPort-equipped computers to DVI monitors or projectors. This cable provides a direct connection without requiring additional adapters, offering a streamlined solution for integrating newer DisplayPort systems with existing DVI displays. It supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200/1080p at 60Hz and is compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 (HBR2) sources. The active conversion ensures compatibility with graphics cards that do not output multimode DP++ signals, such as certain ATI Eyefinity cards, preventing signal loss. Its integrated design incorporates the adapter chip into the DVI connector, reducing clutter. The cable features a latching DisplayPort connector for secure host connections and supports DVI screw-locking cables to prevent accidental disconnections. This solution is suitable for business and IT environments needing to maintain older DVI display infrastructure with modern DisplayPort-enabled hardware.
