Lindy 41489 video cable adapter 0.5 m DisplayPort DVI-D Black

The Lindy 41489 video cable adapter is a compact 0.5 m adapter that converts a DisplayPort output to a DVI-D input. Designed for reliable digital video transmission, this black adapter allows connection of DisplayPort-equipped computers and laptops to DVI-D monitors and projectors. Its short length and lightweight construction make it convenient for portable setups and tidy desktop installations while preserving signal integrity for single-link DVI-D resolutions.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward, passive conversion from DisplayPort to DVI-D without the need for external power or drivers, enabling plug-and-play operation. Its molded connectors and robust cable jacket offer mechanical durability for repeated connections. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation compared with longer leads, making it suitable for close-proximity connections between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or desktop PCs with DisplayPort outputs to monitors or projectors with DVI-D inputs
• Office and classroom presentations where a digital DVI-D display is used
• Portable workstation setups and trade show booths requiring compact cabling

Key specifications

• Connector A: DisplayPort (male)
• Connector B: DVI-D (male)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Signal type: Digital video (DisplayPort to single-link DVI-D)

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort end to the video output on the source device and insert the DVI-D end into the monitor or projector input. Ensure both devices are powered on and set the display input to the appropriate DVI-D source. No additional software is required; the adapter enables the connected devices to negotiate compatible resolution and refresh rate within the limits of single-link DVI-D.

Recommendations

For optimal results use the adapter for direct connections under 0.5 m to minimize potential signal loss. Verify that the target display supports the desired resolution via single-link DVI-D and, when using high resolutions, adjust display settings on the source device to match the monitor’s native resolution.
