Product Information

Full details

This Kenable DisplayPort to DVI adapter cable is designed for users needing to connect modern DisplayPort sources, like MacBooks or laptops, to older DVI-D displays, projectors, or TVs. Its key benefit is enabling high-definition video output up to 4k x 2k resolutions. A potential caveat is that it's an active adapter, meaning it requires power from the DisplayPort source, which is standard but good to be aware of. It supports version 1.2 for enhanced resolutions and bandwidth.

FAQs

What is the maximum resolution this adapter supports?

This adapter supports resolutions up to 4k x 2k (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a 30Hz refresh rate.

Can I use this adapter with a DVI-i or DVI-a connection?

No, this adapter is specifically designed for DVI-D (digital) connections only. It will not work with DVI-A (analog) or DVI-I (integrated digital/analog) inputs.

Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?

No, this is an active adapter that uses Plug and Play technology. No software or drivers are required for installation; it should be recognized automatically by your operating system.

What is the function of the ferrite core?

The ferrite core helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can improve signal quality and prevent distortion or data loss.

Will this adapter support audio?

DisplayPort can carry audio signals, but DVI-D outputs typically do not support audio. Therefore, audio will likely not be transmitted through this adapter to your display.

How long is the built-in lead?

The adapter features a 20cm (approximately 7.9 inches) built-in lead.

Is this adapter compatible with Thunderbolt ports?

Yes, Thunderbolt ports are designed to be compatible with DisplayPort signals, so this adapter should work with Thunderbolt-equipped devices that support DisplayPort output.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on the monitor

Verify that both ends of the adapter are securely connected. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct DVI-D input source. Check if the DisplayPort source is outputting a signal and if the adapter is compatible with your devices. Try a different DisplayPort cable or DVI-D cable if available.

Resolution is lower than expected or incorrect

Confirm that your source device's graphics card and operating system support the desired resolution. Check the adapter's specifications (up to 4k x 2k @ 30Hz). Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed on your source device. Adjust the display resolution in your operating system's display settings.

Flickering or distorted image

Ensure all connections are firm. Check for potential signal interference; try moving cables away from power sources. If the issue persists, the adapter or cables might be faulty. Test with a different adapter or cable if possible.

Multi-monitor setup not working

Ensure your graphics card supports multi-monitor output via DisplayPort. Verify that all monitors connected are DVI-D compatible and that each connection is secure. Check your graphics card's software or control panel for multi-display configuration options (e.g., AMD Eyefinity).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables connection of DisplayPort devices to DVI-D monitors.
  • Supports high resolutions up to 4K.
  • Plug and Play simplicity for easy setup.
  • Active chipset ensures signal integrity and multi-display capability.
  • Durable build with ferrite core for signal protection.

Cons

  • Only supports DVI-D (digital); not compatible with DVI-A or DVI-I without a specific converter.
  • Resolution limited to 30Hz at 4K, which may not be suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming.
  • Requires a DisplayPort source that provides sufficient power to the active adapter.
  • The 20cm lead length might be restrictive for some setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your source device (e.g., laptop, graphics card) and your display (monitor, projector) are powered off.
  2. Connect the DisplayPort end of the adapter to the DisplayPort output on your source device.
  3. Connect the DVI-D end of the adapter to the DVI-D input on your display.
  4. Power on your display first, followed by your source device.
  5. Your operating system should automatically detect the display. If not, check your display settings.

Compatibility:

  • Input: Requires a DisplayPort output (version 1.2 recommended).
  • Output: Requires a DVI-D input (digital only).
  • Resolutions: Supports up to 4k x 2k @ 30Hz. Lower resolutions (e.g., 1080p @ 60Hz) are also supported.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems that support DisplayPort output.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter in a dry environment.
  • Avoid bending the cable sharply or excessively.
  • Clean connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Ensure the adapter is securely plugged in at both ends to maintain a stable connection.
