The VisionTek DisplayPort to DVI-D SL 1.8 meter (5.9 foot) active cable allows you to connect your favorite DP device to your single link DVI display or projector. This active cable works without any additional power or drivers. Watch movies in perfect 1080p clarity or tackle your most demanding software applications across multiple displays. The cable allows ample length so you can configure your desk or presentation setup however you wish. This DisplayPort to DVI video cable converter features a latching DisplayPort connector, so you can fasten and secure the connector to the system port. Unlike passive adapters, this DP to DVI converter offers an active chipset for compatibility with any DisplayPort output - ideal for graphics cards and devices that do not support outputting multi-mode DP++ signals (e.g. AMD Eyefinity).
