The Active Adapter DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI-D CLUB3D CAC-1010-A is an adapter that converts a DisplayPort output to a Dual Link DVI-D input, allowing connection of a DisplayPort-enabled source to high-resolution DVI-D displays. It supports HDCP copy protection and is compatible with Apple Cinema Displays. The adapter includes a 0.6 m cable and an optional USB power connector to supply additional power when required.

Advantages

This active adapter enables use of Dual Link DVI-D monitors from DisplayPort sources, supporting higher resolutions than single-link DVI. The built-in USB power option provides extra stability for displays that require additional power. Compatibility with HDCP ensures playback of protected content, and confirmed compatibility with Apple Cinema Displays simplifies integration with Apple hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting a DisplayPort-equipped laptop or PC to a Dual Link DVI-D monitor
• Driving high-resolution DVI displays that require dual-link bandwidth
• Using with Apple Cinema Displays that accept DVI-D input
• Applications where HDCP-protected content playback is needed

Key specifications

• Input connector: DisplayPort
• Output connector: Dual Link DVI-D
• Additional connector: USB (for optional power)

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort end to the source device and the Dual Link DVI-D end to the display. If the display requires additional power, plug the USB connector into an available USB port on the source device or an external USB power supply.
