AddOn HDMI2DVIDS audio video converter 6 ft HDMI 1.3 male to DVI-D single link 18+1 pin male black 1920x1200

AddOn HDMI to DVI cable 6 ft

This AddOn HDMI2DVIDS cable connects a source with an HDMI 1.3 output to a display that accepts a DVI-D single link input. The 6 ft length suits desktop setups where the monitor sits close to the computer or media player. It carries digital video up to 1920 x 1200 resolution without signal conversion hardware. The moulded black connectors are a 19-pin HDMI male on one end and an 18+1 pin DVI-D male on the other.

Suits HDMI source to DVI monitor links only

Builders who need to plug an HDMI 1.3 device such as a PC graphics card or set-top box into a DVI-D single link monitor will find this cable fit for purpose. It does not carry audio, so users who require sound must run a separate audio connection. Buyers who need higher resolutions, dual link DVI, DisplayPort or USB-C video should look at a different adapter or cable type. The fixed 6 ft length also limits use where a longer run is required.

Plug both ends and secure the screws

Installation is a simple matter of inserting the HDMI plug into the source and the DVI-D plug into the display, then tightening the captive thumbscrews on the DVI connector for a secure fit. No drivers or external power are needed because the cable is passive. The most common issue is forgetting that DVI-D single link does not transmit audio, leading to silent playback until a separate audio path is configured. Another frequent mistake is forcing the DVI plug into a DVI-I port with the wrong pin layout, which can bend pins.
