Product Information
Full details
This Lindy DVI-I Male to DVI-I Female 90° Adapter is designed for users needing to connect DVI cables in tight spaces or create a right-angled bend. Its primary benefit is efficient space-saving and improved cable management, especially behind monitors or in enclosed entertainment units. A potential consideration is ensuring the 90-degree angle is suitable for your specific orientation, as it only bends downwards. Key features include support for both DVI-I analog and DVI-D digital Dual Link connections, gold-plated connectors for signal integrity, and a durable molded plastic design.

FAQs
What type of DVI signals does this adapter support?
This adapter supports DVI-I connections, which include both analog (DVI-A) and digital (DVI-D) signals. It also supports DVI-D Dual Link digital connections.
Will this adapter work with a DVI-D Single Link cable?
Yes, this adapter is compatible with DVI-D Single Link cables as it supports the broader DVI-I standard.
Can this adapter be used to achieve an upward bend?
No, this adapter is specifically designed to bend the DVI cable downwards by 90 degrees. It cannot be rotated or used for an upward bend.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The adapter supports resolutions typically up to 2560x1600 when used with a Dual Link DVI connection, provided both the source and display support this resolution.
How do I clean the adapter?
Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Ensure the connectors are free from dust; avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Does the adapter require any drivers or software?
No, this is a passive adapter and does not require any drivers or software installation. It functions purely as a physical connector.
Troubleshooting
No signal is displayed after connecting the adapter.
Verify that all DVI cable connections are secure at both ends. Ensure the adapter is correctly oriented. Confirm that the source device and display are set to the correct input resolution and refresh rate supported by the DVI connection.
Flickering or distorted video signal.
Check the gold-plated connectors for any debris or damage. Ensure the DVI cable being used is of good quality and properly shielded. Try connecting directly without the adapter to rule out cable issues.
Adapter does not fit securely.
Ensure you are using the thumbscrews and hex nuts correctly to tighten the connection. Check for any obstructions on the DVI ports of the source device or the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the male DVI-I end of the adapter to the DVI output port on your source device (e.g., graphics card). Connect your DVI cable to the female DVI-I end of the adapter. Secure the connection using the integrated thumbscrews on the DVI cable and the hex nuts on the adapter. The adapter is designed for a single, fixed 90-degree downward orientation.
