Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the difference between DVI-D Single Link and Dual Link?
DVI-D Dual Link offers twice the bandwidth of Single Link, allowing for higher resolutions and refresh rates. This Lindy cable is Dual Link, supporting up to 2560x1600@60Hz.
Can I use this DVI-D cable with an HDMI port?
No, this DVI-D cable is not compatible with HDMI ports. You would need an appropriate DVI-to-HDMI adapter or a different type of cable.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The Lindy Anthra Line DVI-D Dual Link cable comes with a 10-year warranty.
Does this cable support HDCP?
The product information does not explicitly state HDCP support. DVI-D itself does not inherently include HDCP, which is common in HDMI and DisplayPort. For protected content, ensure your setup is compatible or consider alternatives if HDCP is critical.
What does '28AWG' mean for the conductors?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number, like 28, indicates a thicker wire, which generally allows for better signal transmission and less resistance over a given length.
How do I ensure a secure connection?
Use the integrated thumb screws on each connector to firmly attach the cable to the DVI-D ports on your devices. Make sure they are snug but avoid excessive force.
Can this cable be used for audio transmission?
No, DVI-D is a digital video-only interface and does not transmit audio signals. Separate audio cables are required.
Troubleshooting
No signal displayed on the monitor
Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the DVI-D Dual Link ports on the source and display. Ensure the display is set to the correct input source. Check if the source device is outputting a compatible resolution. Try using a different DVI-D cable to rule out a cable defect.
Flickering or distorted image
Check the physical connection and ensure the thumb screws are tightened. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate set on the source device are supported by the cable and monitor. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate as a test.
Incorrect colors or 'snow' on screen
This often indicates a poor connection or signal interference. Ensure the cable is fully seated and secured. Check for nearby sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.
Display not recognized at high resolution
Confirm that both the source device graphics card and the monitor fully support the desired resolution (e.g., 2560x1600@60Hz) and that it's a DVI-D Dual Link connection. Ensure the graphics drivers are up to date.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure both your display and source device (e.g., computer, graphics card) have a DVI-D Dual Link port.
Connect the male DVI-D connector of the cable to the corresponding port on your source device.
Connect the other male DVI-D connector to the port on your display.
Tighten the thumb screws on both connectors to secure the cable. Do not overtighten.
Power on your devices. The display should automatically detect the signal.
