Slim Technical Overview

This section highlights the core specifications you need to verify for compatibility.

Ensuring Digital-Only Compatibility

This cable transmits digital signals only. It will not carry analogue signals. If you connect it to a DVI-I port, only the digital signal passes through. It will not work with equipment using DVI-A (analogue) connectors. Because of this, confirm your source and display devices support DVI-D.

Practical Length and Flexibility

The 2-metre length suits most desktop and workstation setups. It allows some distance between a PC and a monitor without excess cable clutter. For example, it can connect a tower PC to a desk-mounted screen. However, if you need a longer run, confirm a different cable length is available.

Connector Fit and Wire Gauge

The cable features male-to-male DVI-D connectors. This is the standard for direct device-to-device links. The 32 AWG wire size is a common specification for this cable type. In practice, this gauge supports signal integrity over the 2-metre distance. Always check your device’s DVI port type matches this cable.
