Product Information
Full details
The Lindy 20m DVI-D Single Link Cable, Gold Line is designed for professionals and users in demanding environments requiring high-resolution video transmission. Its key benefit is reliable, high-performance signal integrity over long distances, ensuring a stable connection for critical systems. A potential caveat is its specific DVI-D single link capability, meaning it is not compatible with dual link signals or analog DVI signals.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cable compatible with DVI-I or DVI-A signals?
No, this is a DVI-D Single Link cable. It only supports digital DVI-D signals and is not compatible with analog DVI-A or the combined DVI-I signals.
Can this cable be used for resolutions higher than 1920x1200@60Hz?
No, this DVI-D Single Link cable is rated for a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 pixels at 60Hz. For higher resolutions, a DVI-D Dual Link cable or a different interface like DisplayPort or HDMI would be required.
What is the benefit of the gold-plated connectors?
The 24K gold plating on the connectors and contacts ensures optimal signal transfer, high conductivity, and resistance to corrosion, leading to a more reliable and long-lasting connection.
Does the 20m length affect signal quality?
The cable is designed with low attenuation and triple shielding to maintain signal integrity over its 20m length, minimizing signal loss and interference compared to standard cables.
Can I use this cable with a DVI-D Dual Link port?
While the physical connector might fit, this is a Single Link cable and will not transmit Dual Link signals. Its capabilities are limited to Single Link resolutions and bandwidth.
What does 'OFC 24AWG conductors' mean?
OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper, and 24AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper conductors. These provide high performance, lower resistance, and better conductivity for a cleaner signal transmission.
How do I secure the cable?
The cable features integrated thumb screws on each connector that allow you to manually tighten the connection to the DVI port, preventing accidental disconnection.
Troubleshooting
No signal or flickering image
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends and the thumb screws are tightened. Verify that both devices are set to use the DVI-D input and that the resolution is supported (1920x1200@60Hz or 1080p). Check if the source device is outputting a DVI-D Single Link signal. Test with a shorter, known-good cable if possible to rule out cable failure.
Poor video quality (lines, artifacts, distorted colors)
The triple shielding and OFC conductors minimize interference, but extreme external EMI can still affect quality. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of interference (e.g., power cables, fluorescent lights). Verify connector contacts are clean and free of corrosion. If the issue persists, the source signal itself might be the problem, or the display's input.
Cable does not fit into port
Confirm you are attempting to connect to a DVI-D port. This cable uses standard DVI-D connectors and will not fit into HDMI or DisplayPort sockets. Ensure no pins are bent on the connector.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures optimal signal integrity and reliability with gold-plated connectors and triple shielding.
- Built for demanding professional use with robust, full-metal housing and OFC conductors.
- Supports high resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz and 1080p.
- Long 20m length is suitable for extensive setups.
- Easy to install and secure with integrated finger grips and thumb screws.
- Backed by a substantial 25-year warranty.
Cons
- This is a DVI-D Single Link cable, not compatible with DVI-D Dual Link signals.
- Not backward compatible with analog DVI-A or digital/analog DVI-I signals.
- The gold color and premium build might be overkill for simple, short-distance applications.
- Requires DVI-D ports on both connected devices.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the DVI-D Male end of the cable to the DVI-D output port on your source device (e.g., computer graphics card) and the other DVI-D Male end to the DVI-D input port on your display device (e.g., monitor, projector). Ensure both ports are clean. Gently tighten the thumb screws on each connector to secure the cable, ensuring it will not accidentally disconnect.
Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for DVI-D Single Link digital signals. It is compatible with any device featuring DVI-D Single Link ports. It will not work with DVI-A (analog) or DVI-I (integrated analog/digital) ports if the device's port is not DVI-D Single Link compatible. It does not support DVI-D Dual Link resolutions or features.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable. Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. The durable construction is designed for regular use, but physical damage should be avoided.
