Connect DVI Displays to DisplayPort Sources

This passive adapter links a DVI-I monitor or projector to a DisplayPort++ output on a desktop ultrabook or laptop. It supports PC resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p with no software installation required. The six inch cable features a latching DisplayPort connector for a secure link and a black finish.

Verify Your Source Has a DP++ Port

The adapter functions only when the video card or source provides a DisplayPort++ dual-mode signal that can pass DVI natively. It will not operate from a standard DisplayPort-only output and cannot drive a third display from the same source. Confirm your device lists DP++ or dual-mode support before ordering.

Replaces Active Converters for Single

For users adding a second DVI screen to a DP++ port this passive dongle removes the need for a powered active converter. The jump is worth it when your source already outputs dual-mode signalling and you need a compact plug-and-play link for office applications or video conferencing. It does not suit builds requiring active signal translation or three or more displays.

Questions about this item

Does the DP2DVI2 include any cables or do I need to supply my own DVI cable?

The package contains only the 6-inch converter with a male DisplayPort plug and a female DVI-I port. You must provide a separate DVI cable to reach your monitor.

I see this is a passive adapter — when should I choose it instead of an active model?

Choose this passive DP2DVI2 when your source has a DP++ (dual-mode) DisplayPort and you need up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p on a single DVI display. Active adapters are required for non-DP++ ports or multi-monitor setups beyond two screens.

Will I actually get 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz on a Dell Precision M4800 through this dongle?

Yes. The DP2DVI2 supports PC resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. The M4800's DisplayPort is DP++ compatible, so the passive converter will deliver the full 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz without software.
