FAQs

What is the difference between DVI-D Single Link and Dual Link?

DVI-D Single Link uses one channel for video transmission and supports resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz. DVI-D Dual Link uses two channels, allowing for higher resolutions and refresh rates (e.g., 2560x1600@60Hz). This cable is Single Link.

Can I use this DVI-D cable with an HDMI port?

No, DVI-D and HDMI are different connector types and signal protocols. You would need a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or a specific DVI-to-HDMI cable, and compatibility may vary.

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This DVI-D Single-Link cable supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixels at 60Hz and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p.

Does this cable carry audio?

No, DVI-D cables are designed for video transmission only and do not carry audio signals.

How do I clean the DVI connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials, as this could damage the plating.

What does 'Triple Shielded' mean for this cable?

Triple shielding means the cable has multiple layers of protective foil and braiding around the conductors to significantly reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), leading to a cleaner and more stable signal.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on the monitor

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the source and display devices. Check that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Verify that both devices are powered on. Try a different DVI-D port if available on either device.

Flickering or distorted image

Check that the DVI-D connectors are fully seated and thumb screws are tightened. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Try connecting a different DVI-D cable to rule out a cable fault. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate are supported by both the display and the source device.

Lower than expected resolution or poor picture quality

Confirm that the maximum supported resolution (1920x1200@60Hz or 1080p) is being used. Ensure the graphics card drivers on your source device are up to date. Check the display settings in your operating system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports common high-definition resolutions up to 1080p and 1920x1200@60Hz.
  • Triple shielding enhances signal stability and reduces interference.
  • Gold-plated contacts and tinned copper conductors ensure signal integrity.
  • Durable construction with PVC housing and strain relief for longevity.
  • Easy to install with thumb screws and finger grips.

Cons

  • Single-link DVI-D may not support very high refresh rates or resolutions beyond 1920x1200.
  • Not suitable for DVI-I or DVI-A connections, only digital DVI-D.
  • Basic 'Black Line' offering, without advanced features of higher-tier cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the display device (monitor, projector) and the source device (PC, laptop) are powered off.
  2. Locate the DVI-D output port on your source device and the DVI-D input port on your display.
  3. Align the DVI-D male connector of the cable with the port on your source device and plug it in.
  4. Align the other DVI-D male connector of the cable with the port on your display device and plug it in.
  5. Secure the connection by tightening the thumb screws on both connectors. Do not overtighten.
  6. Power on your display device, then power on your source device.
  7. Select the correct input source on your display device if the image does not appear automatically.

Compatibility:

  • This is a DVI-D Single-Link cable. It is compatible with devices featuring DVI-D output and input ports.
  • It supports digital signals only.
  • Maximum supported resolution is 1920x1200@60Hz and 1080p.
  • It is not compatible with DVI-I (which carries analog and digital signals) or DVI-A (analog only) ports.

Care:

  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can damage the internal conductors.
  • Keep connectors clean. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe them. Do not use liquids.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling or pressure.
