UGREEN DV101 11606 Dual-Link DVI-D Cable, 1.5 m

Overview

The UGREEN DV101 (11606) is a 1.5 m dual-link DVI-D cable with a 24+1 male plug at each end, for connecting a PC or graphics card with a DVI output to a DVI monitor, including high-resolution screens that need dual-link. It carries digital video only, up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz when the whole chain supports it, and the plugs screw in by hand so they cannot work loose.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a desk where the computer and monitor sit within 1.5 m of each other and both have DVI ports.
• It fits digital DVI-D ports, and DVI-I ports for their digital contacts. It does not carry analogue VGA or DVI-A signals, even if a DVI-I socket elsewhere has analogue pins.
• It cannot create dual-link capability, a higher refresh rate, HDCP support or a mode that either device lacks.
• It is not HDMI, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort or USB-C, and it does not convert between those standards.

Key features

• Dual-link DVI-D 24+1, up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz when the complete chain supports it.
• Two hand-tightened screws on each connector hold the plug in place.
• 28 AWG (wire gauge) oxygen-free copper with foil and braid shielding and a PVC jacket; cable diameter approximately 8.5 mm.
• Integrated ferrite core for interference suppression.
• Passive cable with no active electronics.

What else you need

A computer or graphics card with a DVI-D or DVI-I output and a monitor with a DVI-D or DVI-I input. For sound, use a separate audio connection; the cable carries no audio, Ethernet, USB data or power.

Installation

No installer is needed. Plug each end into its DVI port, tighten the screws by hand, then select the input on the monitor and set the resolution on the computer.

Before you buy

• Digital video only: no audio, Ethernet, USB data or device power.
• Not for analogue VGA or DVI-A signals.
• It is not a repeater or active optical cable; extra adapters and long chains reduce the signal margin.
