StarTech.com MDP2DVIMM10B 10ft mini DP to DVI 🔌

This 10ft Mini DisplayPort to DVI cable connects Mini DP or Thunderbolt 1/2 sources to DVI monitors and projectors, making it simpler to add a second screen in offices and home workstations. It works as a Mini DisplayPort to DVI cable for video at up to 1080p 60Hz and can handle 4K 30Hz when the display supports the required clock rate, so you can extend or mirror your desktop with minimal setup. 🖥️

Key features

The cable integrates the adapter chip into a slim DVI connector to reduce clutter and provide a tidy setup in meeting rooms and desks. It supports EDID pass-through for better compatibility between source and display. The design supports DVI screw locking to avoid accidental disconnections during presentations or everyday use. Compatible with a wide range of MiniDP devices including older Thunderbolt Macs and many Windows laptops, it requires no drivers and works across common operating systems.

Benefits

Adding a DVI display is straightforward, and the integrated adapter keeps the connection tidy while reducing extra dongles on your desk. The passive converter means no external power or drivers are needed, so setup is plug and play on Windows, macOS and many Linux distros. The cable's length gives freedom to position a monitor or projector across a small meeting room without needing repeaters. 🔒

The product can increase productivity by enabling dual screen layouts for spreadsheets or creative work, and by stabilizing a connection with the screw lock feature during longer sessions. Keep in mind that passive support requires an mDP++ source with DVI output capability according to the manufacturer, so very old or limited MiniDP ports may not support all resolutions offered.
