Video Cable Adapter ShiverPeaks BS77490-1 1m DisplayPort DVI Black

The ShiverPeaks BS77490-1 1m DisplayPort to DVI video cable adapter in black provides a straightforward connection between a DisplayPort source and a DVI display. Designed for single-direction signal transfer from a DisplayPort output to a DVI input, the adapter supports video transmission at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and comes in a 1-metre length to suit desktop and workspace layouts.

Advantages

This DisplayPort to DVI cable adapter offers a compact one-cable solution for connecting modern computers or graphics cards with DisplayPort outputs to legacy DVI monitors or projectors. The black jacket provides a neutral aesthetic and basic protection against wear, while the cable length gives flexibility in device placement without excess slack. It supports standard digital video without requiring external power or drivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop DisplayPort output to a DVI monitor
• Using a DisplayPort-equipped graphics card with a DVI projector
• Replacing or extending existing short DisplayPort-to-DVI connections
• Office workstations, home desks, and classroom AV setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: DisplayPort to DVI
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Supported maximum resolution: up to 1920x1200
• Signal direction: DisplayPort source to DVI display (unidirectional)
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the DisplayPort connector into the DisplayPort output on your computer or video source and plug the DVI connector into the DVI input on your monitor or projector. Ensure both devices are powered on; the connected display should be detected automatically by the operating system. Adjust display settings such as resolution and refresh rate in your system display settings to match the supported maximum of the cable and the capabilities of the display.

Recommendations

Use this cable adapter for single-monitor setups where the video source provides a DisplayPort output and the display accepts DVI input. For resolutions higher than 1920x1200 or for multi-channel audio transmission, consider native DisplayPort or dual-link DVI solutions as appropriate. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent strain on ports.
