Technical Overview
This cable utilizes a DisplayPort 1.2 (High Bit Rate 2) male connector on one end and a single-link DVI-D male connector on the other. The 20-pin DisplayPort connector delivers digital audio and video signals, while the 19-pin DVI-D connector ensures compatibility with DVI monitors and projectors that lack DisplayPort inputs.
The integrated conversion chip within the DVI connector minimizes signal loss over the 10-foot length, maintaining stable video quality. Nickel-plated connectors provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The cable supports DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort) sources, including workstations, desktops with AMD or NVIDIA graphics, laptops, small form factor PCs, and docking stations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The DP2DVIMM10 combines a long cable reach with integrated adapter technology, offering a tidy and reliable connection for extending the life of DVI displays in modern computing environments.
Integrated Adapter Design
The adapter chip is built directly into the DVI connector, creating a streamlined cable that avoids the bulk and potential snagging of separate adapter dongles. This all-in-one design is ideal for clean cable management in offices, boardrooms, and home offices.
- Slim, flexible cable jacket
- Reduces desktop clutter
- No loose adapter to misplace
Stable, Secure Connection
The DVI end features a screw-locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection, while the non-latching DisplayPort connector allows for easy removal from tight spaces. The built-in chip helps maintain signal integrity over the full 10-foot length.
- DVI screw locks prevent pull-outs
- Easy-disconnect DisplayPort
- Minimized signal loss
Universal Plug-and-Play
As a passive cable, it requires no software installation, external power, or configuration. It works immediately with any operating system that outputs a DisplayPort signal, including Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions like Ubuntu.
- Zero driver installation
- Works instantly upon connection
- Broad OS compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is engineered for scenarios where a computer with a DisplayPort output needs to connect to a monitor, projector, or HDTV that only has a DVI input. Its 10-foot length provides flexibility in positioning equipment, making it suitable for both standard desk setups and longer runs in presentation or control room environments.
Common applications include connecting modern laptops or small form factor PCs to older DVI office monitors, integrating a DisplayPort-equipped workstation into a multi-monitor setup that includes DVI displays, or using a docking station to output to a DVI projector in a conference room. It effectively bridges the gap between newer video output standards and legacy display hardware.
Office & Workstation Integration
Extend the usability of existing DVI monitors by connecting them to new computers, workstations, or docking stations that feature DisplayPort outputs. The 10-foot cable allows for flexible desk arrangements and cable routing.
Presentation & Conference Rooms
Connect a laptop or media PC to a ceiling-mounted DVI projector or large-format display. The secure screw lock and stable signal ensure reliable performance during critical presentations and meetings.
Physical Profile
The cable features a standard black PVC jacket that is both flexible and durable for everyday use. With a total length of 10 feet (3.05 meters) and a weight of approximately 8.7 ounces (247 grams), it is easy to route behind desks, through cable channels, or along walls without adding significant bulk or weight to the setup.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 8.70 oz (246.64 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the maximum resolution supported by this DisplayPort to DVI cable?
The StarTech.com DP2DVIMM10 cable supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200, which includes full 1080p (1920x1080) at a 60Hz refresh rate. This makes it suitable for connecting to HD monitors, projectors, or televisions for clear video output from compatible DisplayPort sources.
Does this cable require external power or software drivers to work?
No, this is a passive cable and does not require any external power adapters, software drivers, or configuration. It is a true plug-and-play solution. Simply connect the DisplayPort end to your computer and the DVI end to your display; it will work immediately with supported operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What types of devices can I connect with this cable?
You can connect any device with a DisplayPort 1.2 (or DP++) output to a display with a DVI-D input. This includes desktop computers, workstations, laptops, small form factor PCs, and docking stations. The display can be a monitor, projector, or HDTV that accepts a single-link DVI-D signal.
How does the screw lock on the DVI connector work?
The DVI connector features two thumb screws on either side. After inserting the connector into the DVI port on your display, you tighten these screws to secure the connection. This prevents the cable from being accidentally pulled out due to tension or vibration, ensuring a stable and reliable link, which is especially important in permanent installations or high-traffic areas.
Is this cable compatible with HDCP for streaming protected content?
Yes, the cable supports HDCP 1.3 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). This allows it to transmit encrypted video signals from sources like streaming services, Blu-ray players, or gaming consoles that require HDCP handshaking, ensuring you can watch protected content on your connected DVI display without issues.
What is the advantage of the adapter being built into the cable?
Having the DisplayPort-to-DVI conversion chip integrated directly into the DVI connector creates a cleaner, more reliable setup. It eliminates the need for a separate adapter dongle, which can be easily lost, add bulk, or become a point of failure. The integrated design results in a single, streamlined cable that is easier to manage and less prone to connection problems.
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.
