STARTECH 1.8M DP TO DVI CABLE – ACTIVE DP 1.2 TO DVI-D ADAPTER 3YR

The StarTech DP2DVIMM6BS is a 6 ft (≈ 1.8 m) active DisplayPort-to-DVI-D adapter cable designed to connect a DisplayPort-equipped PC, laptop or docking station directly to a DVI monitor or projector. Because the adapter uses an active converter, it works even when your graphics card’s DisplayPort cannot output a passive DVI/HDMI signal (i.e. non-DP++ ports), ensuring broader compatibility. With support for up to 1920×1200 / 1080p output, it makes it easy to reuse older DVI-only displays instead of upgrading them — ideal for dual-monitor setups, legacy equipment, or budget-friendly displays.

Key Features

• Active DP → DVI-D conversion — works even with graphics cards lacking DP-++ (multimode) support, maximizing compatibility.

• 6 ft (1.8 m) integrated cable — no extra adapters or separate cables required; neat and ready-to-use.

• Supports up to 1920×1200 (WUXGA) / 1080p at 60 Hz — sufficient for full-HD monitors and many older/professional DVI displays.

• EDID pass-through & signal stability — ensures that resolution/refresh settings are properly communicated to the display, improving reliability.

• Plug-and-play — no drivers needed — works across major operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) simply by plugging in.

• Latching DisplayPort connector & screw-locking DVI connector — secure, stable connection that resists accidental disconnection.
