DisplayPort to DVI Adapter ShiverPeaks 14-05007 — DisplayPort 1.1 to DVI 24+5

The ShiverPeaks DisplayPort to DVI Adapter 14-05007 is a passive adapter that converts a DisplayPort 1.1 output into a DVI 24+5 (DVI‑I) input. It provides a compact, plug‑and‑play physical connection between devices equipped with DisplayPort and displays or projectors with DVI 24+5 connectors. The adapter is intended for situations where the source device supports a DisplayPort 1.1 output and the display accepts a DVI‑I connection.

Advantages

This adapter offers a simple and low‑profile conversion without requiring external power or software drivers. Its passive design ensures a direct electrical connection for compatible DisplayPort 1.1 graphics outputs, enabling easy attachment of DVI‑equipped monitors, projectors or KVM systems. The compact form factor preserves desk and rack space and reduces cable clutter when integrating mixed‑interface equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a DisplayPort 1.1 graphics card to a DVI‑I monitor or projector
• Using a laptop or docking station with DisplayPort output to drive a DVI display
• Integrating older DVI displays into systems that provide only DisplayPort outputs
• Temporary or permanent setups in offices, classrooms, or home workstations

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: DisplayPort 1.1 (source) to DVI 24+5 (DVI‑I, sink)
• Design: Passive adapter (no external power required)
• Compatibility: Requires source DisplayPort output that supports DVI signalling (DP++)
• Connector types: Standard DisplayPort male to DVI 24+5 female
• Supported video signals: Single‑link DVI video modes up to the limits of DVI single‑link
• Form factor: Compact, low‑profile adapter suitable for tight spaces

How to use

Insert the DisplayPort end of the adapter into the DisplayPort output on the computer, laptop or docking station until it seats securely. Connect a DVI cable from the DVI‑I connector on the adapter to the DVI input on the monitor or projector. Power on both devices and select the appropriate input on the display. If the source device supports DP++ (dual‑mode DisplayPort), the adapter will carry the DVI signal and the display should be detected automatically by the operating system. Adjust resolution and refresh rate in the system display settings to match the monitor’s supported modes.

Recommendations

Use quality DVI cables and verify that the source device's DisplayPort output supports DP++/DVI signalling. For resolutions or refresh rates that exceed single‑link DVI limits, consider an active converter or a native digital connection that supports higher bandwidth. Avoid forcing connectors and ensure secure seating to prevent intermittent signal loss.
