Microconnect DISPLAYPORT-DUMMY1 DisplayPort cable 0 m Black

The Microconnect DISPLAYPORT-DUMMY1 is a compact DisplayPort dummy plug that, when connected, is virtualized as a display by the operating system. It resolves issues such as remote-control sessions showing a black screen or extremely low resolution by emulating an attached monitor. The adapter also helps when a graphics card or monitor will not initialize unless a display is present. The device is plug-and-play and does not require a driver.

Advantages

The DisplayPort dummy plug supports up to 2560 x 1600 resolution, is extremely lightweight (approximately 2 g), and is RoHS certified. Its male DisplayPort connector provides a simple, driver-free solution to force display detection and stable resolution during remote access or headless operation.

Suitable for

• Remote desktop and VNC sessions that show black screen or incorrect resolution
• Headless PCs, servers, or workstations that require an attached display for GPU initialization
• Graphics card troubleshooting when a monitor will not power on or be detected
• Temporary use in IT maintenance, testing, or setup of multi-monitor systems

How to use

To remove, simply unplug the adapter when it is no longer needed.

Recommendations

Use the dummy plug for temporary situations such as remote access, troubleshooting, or system setup. Avoid leaving it permanently in place if active monitoring of hardware is required; disconnect when a real monitor is attached or when normal display detection is restored.
