DisplayPort/DVI Cable ShiverPeaks Black

The ShiverPeaks Black DisplayPort to DVI cable provides a straightforward solution for connecting a DisplayPort source to a DVI display. One end features a DisplayPort connector and the other end a DVI connector, offering a direct wired interface for video transmission between devices with different video ports. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and reduce corrosion, while the black jacket provides a neutral aesthetic that fits a range of monitor and workstation environments.

Advantages

This cable delivers a stable digital-to-digital connection where compatible, minimizing signal loss and ensuring consistent image quality. Gold-plated contacts enhance contact reliability and long-term performance. The single-cable design reduces clutter compared with adapter assemblies and is suitable for desktop and professional setups that require a reliable wired link between DisplayPort sources and DVI displays.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or graphics card with a DisplayPort output to a monitor with a DVI input
• Office workstations and home setups that combine newer PCs with legacy displays
• Temporary or permanent installations where a simple, passive cable connection is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector types: DisplayPort (one end) and DVI (other end)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Cable color: black
• Purpose: video signal transmission between DisplayPort source and DVI display

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off or in a low-power state before connecting. Insert the DisplayPort connector into the source device’s DisplayPort output and the DVI connector into the display’s DVI input, aligning the connectors until they seat securely. Power on the display and source, then select the correct input on the monitor if required. Adjust display resolution and refresh rate in the source device’s graphics settings to match the capabilities of the DVI display.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for resolutions supported by the DVI display and avoid forcing higher resolutions that the display does not support. If you experience image issues, check connector seating, ensure drivers and graphics settings are correct, and test with an alternative cable or port to isolate the problem.
