Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter cable implements DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode over USB-C, allowing compatible host devices to output native DisplayPort signals through their USB-C ports. The cable then converts this signal to DVI-D format for display connectivity. This approach maintains digital signal integrity without intermediate conversion chips that can introduce latency or compatibility issues.
The cable supports WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) at 60Hz refresh rates, providing sufficient bandwidth for business presentations, spreadsheet work, document editing, and general productivity applications. The dual-link DVI-D connector supports higher bandwidth than single-link variants, ensuring compatibility with displays that require the additional signal paths.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this USB-C to DVI adapter cable?
This cable connects USB-C equipped devices including modern notebooks, tablets, smartphones, and video playback devices to displays with DVI-D inputs. Compatible display types include monitors, projectors, and large-format screens that accept DVI-D connections. The cable requires USB-C hosts that support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output.
What resolution and refresh rate does this adapter support?
The Black Box VA-USBC31-DVID-006 supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) at 60Hz refresh rates. This provides sufficient bandwidth for business applications, presentations, and general productivity work. The 60Hz refresh rate ensures smooth cursor movement and video playback without noticeable stuttering or tearing.
How does DisplayPort Alt Mode work with this cable?
DisplayPort 1.2 Alt Mode allows compatible USB-C host devices to output native DisplayPort signals through their USB-C ports. This cable carries those DisplayPort signals and converts them to DVI-D format at the display end. This approach maintains digital signal integrity without compression or significant latency, unlike some active converter solutions.
What is the difference between DVI-D and other DVI types?
DVI-D is a digital-only DVI variant that carries purely digital video signals. This cable uses dual-link DVI-D, which provides additional bandwidth compared to single-link DVI-D. Dual-link supports higher resolutions and refresh rates. The cable does not carry analog signals, so it's incompatible with DVI-A (analog only) or DVI-I (integrated analog and digital) displays that require analog connections.
Does this cable support audio transmission?
No, this is a video-only cable. DVI-D connections do not carry audio signals. The cable transmits digital video from USB-C hosts to DVI displays but does not include audio channels. For audio transmission, you would need separate audio connections from your source device to speakers or the display's audio inputs if available.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this USB-C to DVI-D adapter cable. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and material failures for the product's usable life. The warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction and reliability for professional deployment scenarios.
What resolution or display format is specified?
It features a display specification of 1920 x 1200, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
