Does the adapter come with a DVI cable?

What is Power Delivery (PD) on this adapter?
The adapter features a USB-C PD port that allows you to charge your connected host computer simultaneously while using the adapter for video output. It supports up to 60W (20V/3A) charging, compatible with PD 2.0.
What devices are compatible with this adapter?

Can I use this adapter to connect to a DVI to HDMI converter?
While it outputs a DVI-D signal, connecting to other converters depends on the converter's specifications and compatibility. It is primarily designed for direct DVI connections.
What is HDCP?
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is a copy protection standard used to prevent digital audio and video streams from being pirated. This adapter supports HDCP, which is necessary for playing protected content like Blu-rays or streaming services.
Will the charging speed be affected if my charger is not PD 2.0?
Yes, if your charger or device does not support the PD 2.0 protocol, the charging current may drop, resulting in slower charging speeds compared to a compatible PD 2.0 setup.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on the DVI monitor.
Ensure the USB-C port on your computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify that the DVI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the monitor. Check that the monitor is set to the correct DVI input source. Try a different DVI cable or monitor to rule out hardware issues.
Device is not charging or charging slowly.
Confirm that the connected USB-C power adapter and cable support USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 2.0 and can provide at least 60W. Ensure the PD port on the adapter is correctly connected to your computer for charging. Note that charging current may be lower if your device or charger uses a different protocol than PD 2.0.
Screen resolution is incorrect or blurry.
Check the display settings in your operating system and set the resolution to 1080p @60Hz for optimal performance. Ensure the DVI cable is not damaged and rated for the desired resolution.
Adapter is not detected by the computer.
Try connecting the adapter to a different USB-C port on your computer. Restart your computer with the adapter connected. Ensure your computer's operating system and USB drivers are up to date.
