5 m DVI-I Dual-Link cable
This 5 m DVI-I Dual-Link cable connects two devices with DVI-I Dual-Link ports. The male-to-male design suits desktop PCs, monitors or projectors that require a direct link. Gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity over the full length.
Gold-plated connectors
Gold plating on every contact reduces oxidation and contact resistance. This preserves the dual-link bandwidth needed for higher resolutions without signal degradation. The lifetime warranty from the manufacturer reflects confidence in the cable's long-term reliability.
Dual-link DVI-I interface
The dual-link DVI-I interface supports higher resolutions than single-link versions but cannot carry audio signals. Maximum resolution depends on the source and display hardware, not the cable alone. Analogue VGA signals are also supported through the DVI-I pins when compatible adapters are used.

Questions about this item
Will the gold-plated connectors on this DVI-I dual-link cable need replacement over time?
Gold plating resists oxidation, so the connectors should not need replacement under normal use; the cable carries a lifetime warranty from Black Box Corporation.
What resolution or bandwidth limit will I hit first when running this 5 m cable continuously?
The cable is built to the dual-link DVI specification, so the first limit you reach will be the maximum resolution or refresh rate supported by your graphics card and monitor rather than the cable itself.
Does the 16.4 ft length add noticeable heat or signal noise during all-day operation?
A passive copper DVI cable of this length does not generate heat, and the gold-plated dual-link connectors maintain signal integrity without added noise for typical desktop use.
