Amazon Basics DVI to DVI Cable, 2 m /6.5 Feet, Black

Product Information

But DVI and VGA are a lot more than a jumble of letters, they are specific types of connections that can make a huge impact on your picture quality. DVI-I Single Link uses a pin arrangement of a flat pin surrounded by 4 pins and two blocks of pins, each with 9 pins.

Remember, a DVI connection doesn’t transfer audio signals, so these cables will send the picture but not the sound.This means that a DVI-D cable will not work when connected to an analog system, and a DVI-A will not work on a digital system. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. This simply means that the DVI end of the converter is inserted into the DVI port in your video card.

In such cases, the HDMI input may be labeled HDMI/DVI, and the analog audio inputs are also labeled DVI.Dual-link connections double the number of RGB TMDS pairs – excluding the clock pair – through parallel connections, thus enabling 2Gbps of bandwidth. If you have a source device that only has a DVI output and a TV that only has HDMI inputs, you can use the same type of adapter to make that connection.
