Adapts FROM a DisplayPort source device TO a Female DVI-I equipped display. Compatible with all DP++ DisplayPort sockets for high quality video signals.
Have a newer PC or laptop with DisplayPort output and need to connect it to that old work monitor which only has DVI (and maybe VGA)? You know the one I mean! This adapter is small but has big features like signals at 1080p and full DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) compliance. But it's tiny! It'll relieve stress on your plugs thanks to a 15cm cable between the plugs, and all you need to add is a male-to-male DVI cable and you'll be set!
You just need to make sure your DisplayPort source outputs a DVI-D compatible signal, since this is an unpowered passive adapter, and not all DisplayPort sources are made equal. Look for the D++ symbol or check your manual for the full specs.
**Please note that as with most DisplayPort to HDMI, DVI or VGA adapters, this cable only works in a single direction, with DisplayPort as the source**

DisplayPort Compatibility Note
DisplayPort (DP) adapters are not bi-directional, and require a DP output which is DP++ (Dual Mode) compatible. When a DisplayPort to DVI adapter is connected to a DP++ (Dual-Mode) output, the output device senses the presence of the adapter and sends DVI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the adapter. DVI signals are merely passed through.
