DisplayPort to DVI Cable Connects Home, Office or Digital Signage Video ComponentsThis DisplayPort 1.1 cable securely connects laptops, tablets, PCs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, satellite/cable TV receivers and other devices with DisplayPort outputs to televisions or monitors with DVI inputs. The uni-directional cable only converts from DisplayPort to DVI. No separate adapter or cable is needed, allowing you to continue using your existing DVI-D display without the expense of buying a new DisplayPort monitor. Provides Extra Protection Against Certain BacteriaThe molded connectors and PVC jacket are constructed using an antibacterial material that is 99.9% effective in inhibiting Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (staph). This added protection makes this cable an ideal solution for medical facilities, schools, businesses, restaurants/kitchens and anywhere else that needs extra protection against bacteria. Transmits Crystal-Clear 1080p Video on a Larger Screen or Secondary MonitorThe P581AB-006 supports HD resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz with 24-bit Deep Color, allowing you to transmit 1080p signals in your home theater, office lobby or other digital signage application, such as digital menus in restaurants or schedules in bus and train stations. You may also use the cable to connect a second monitor to your computer or laptop in your home or office workspace. Connectors Secure Tightly to Help Prevent Accidental Disconnection and Expensive DowntimeHaving a cable come loose accidentally can mean costly and time-consuming signal loss. Latches on the DisplayPort plug and thumbscrews on the DVI connector help you avoid such danger, protecting your video transmission by maintaining a secure link without failure. Passive Adapter for Use with Dual-Mode DisplayPort SourcesThis cable is a passive adapter that requires the connected source computer to support DisplayPort++ (DP++). This allows DVI signals to be passed through. Check the documentation for your DisplayPort source for compatibility. Premium Construction for Superior PerformanceThe P581AB-006 features foil and braid shielding that ensures reliable, error-free signal quality and protection from EMI/RFI line noise that can distort or destroy data. Gold-plated contacts provide maximum conductivity and minimum data loss to guarantee a clear transmission free of interference. Integral strain relief gives the cable extra flexibility, reduces stress and helps the cable move freely without cracking or breaking loose from the connector.
