This 1.8m Display Port ver. 1.1a Cable (male to male) can easily output DVI signals at 1080p and is a simple solution for converting DisplayPort signals to DVI. The adaptor also supports DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection).

Display Port is the latest type of digital connection on the market and Display Port cables and adaptors are designed to be compatible with all types of signals (VGA, DVI & HDMI). Please note that whilst the cables and adaptors are always compatible with these signals, your Display Port device, eg. video card, needs to be capable of outputting the different types of signal. Not all Display Port devices are currently capable of outputting VGA, DVI or HDMI so look for the D++ symbol on your product to ensure compatibility.

Technical Information

The DisplayPort connector supports 1, 2, or 4 data pairs in a Main Link that also carries clock and optional audio signals, each with a symbol rate of 1.62 Gbps or 2.7 Gbps. The video signal path supports from 6 to 16 bits per colour channel. A bi-directional auxiliary channel (at a constant 1 Mbps) carries management and device control data for the Main Link. Display Port currently supports a maximum of 10.8 Gbps over a distance of 2 meters.
