Monoprice 15ft DisplayPort to DVI cable

This compact white cable from Monoprice lets you link a DisplayPort PC output to a DVI monitor across a longer run while keeping a tidy desktop. The DisplayPort to DVI cable 15ft is aimed at users who need a straightforward video connection for workstations, presentations, or secondary displays.

Key Points

The cable carries a digital video signal from a DisplayPort source to a DVI display without active conversion electronics, making setup simple and plug-and-play when the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort. It is 15 feet long, which helps reduce cable clutter when the computer and monitor are not adjacent. The neutral white finish blends into bright office spaces or home setups and the flexible jacket makes routing behind desks easier. ⚪️

Compatibility depends on the capabilities of the source device, so it is best for systems that support DP++ outputs. If your monitor only accepts single-link DVI, expect standard DVI resolution limits rather than higher-resolution DVI-D dual-link performance. 🔌

Benefits

This Monoprice cable reduces the need for adapters and keeps a single-cable run for video, which is useful for multi-monitor configurations or when using a docking station with a DisplayPort output. It offers a no-fuss connection that avoids extra power or drivers, and the longer length gives freedom in device placement. For users moving existing displays or extending their desktop, the cable provides a neat and reliable alternative to wireless displays or complex converter boxes.

Usage Recommendations

For best results, connect the DisplayPort end to the source and the DVI end to the monitor while both devices are powered off, then power them up to allow automatic detection. Consider resolution and refresh rate limits of the target display because single-link DVI typically caps at common HD and lower WUXGA settings, and may not support some higher-resolution or high-refresh-rate modes. Also, if the source does not support DP++ (dual-mode DisplayPort), an active converter will be required for DVI output. ⚠️
