FAQs
Does this cable support audio?
No, this is a video-only cable. You will need a separate cable for audio if your setup requires sound.
Will this work with a dual-link DVI device?
This cable is designed for DVI-D single link. While it may physically fit, performance will be limited to single link specifications.
Can I use this to connect my game console to a DVI monitor?
Yes, provided the DVI monitor supports the signal format and resolution output by the console.
Is the cable bidirectional?
This cable is specifically designed for DVI to HDMI video transmission. Performance in reverse configurations cannot be guaranteed.
What is the maximum resolution?
The cable supports up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.
How do I clean the connectors?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the gold contacts if necessary. Do not use liquid cleaners.
Troubleshooting
No image appearing on the monitor
Ensure the DVI-D connector is fully seated and the side screws are tightened. Check that the monitor input source is set to the correct HDMI port.
Screen flickering or artifacts
Check for any sharp bends or crimps in the cable. Ensure the connectors are clean and free of dust.
Image resolution is lower than expected
Verify that your graphics card drivers are up to date and that the display settings in your operating system are configured to the native resolution of the monitor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your connection, ensure that both your source device and monitor are powered down before plugging in the cable. Insert the DVI end into your computer or source device, securing it by tightening the side screws to prevent accidental disconnection. Plug the HDMI end into your display. Once both ends are connected, power on your devices. To maintain performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can damage the internal shielding over time. Keep the connectors free of dust and debris by storing them in a cool, dry environment when not in use. Always hold the connector head rather than the cable itself when plugging or unplugging to extend the lifespan of the wiring.
