Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter utilizes an active conversion chipset to translate DisplayPort 1.2 (HBR2) signals to DVI-D single-link digital video. The input features a 20-pin DisplayPort 1.2 male connector, while the output provides a 25-pin DVI-D female port. It supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 1.3 for secure playback of protected content.
The latching DisplayPort connector secures the host connection physically, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. For the DVI side, it accommodates standard screw-locking DVI cables to ensure a stable video link. The adapter is halogen-free and complies with environmental standards including EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives.

FAQ
Does this adapter require external power or software drivers to work?
No, this is a plug-and-play adapter that does not require external power or software drivers. It draws power directly from the DisplayPort source and works immediately with operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu, simplifying setup and use.
What is the difference between an active and passive DisplayPort to DVI adapter?
This is an active adapter, meaning it includes a conversion chipset to actively translate DisplayPort signals to DVI. Active adapters ensure reliable signal integrity over longer cable runs and support higher resolutions like 1080p at 60Hz, whereas passive adapters may have limitations with certain sources or resolutions.
Can I use this adapter with a DVI-D dual-link monitor or projector?
This adapter is designed for DVI-D single-link connections. It supports single-link DVI displays and projectors up to 1920x1200 resolution. For dual-link DVI monitors requiring higher resolutions such as 2560x1600, a different adapter specifically rated for dual-link would be necessary.
Is the DisplayPort connector on this adapter latching, and why is that important?
Yes, the DisplayPort connector features a latching mechanism. This ensures a solid, secure connection to the host device, preventing the adapter from accidentally dislodging due to movement or cable tension. It is particularly valuable in environments where reliability is critical, such as workstations or mounted displays.
What compatibility certifications does this adapter have?
This adapter is AMD Eyefinity Certified, making it ideal for use with AMD Radeon Pro Series workstation graphics cards in multi-display setups. It also supports HDCP 1.3 for protected content playback and is compliant with environmental standards like EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE.
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.
What input or connectivity options are listed?
1 x 25-pin DVI-D (Single-Link) Digital Video - Female.
Does the display support VESA mounting or adjustment features?
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.
