TARGET HDMI to DVI Cable, 3m, Black

TARGET HDMI 1.4 (M) to DVI-D (M) 3m Black OEM Display Cable

The TARGET HDMI 1.4 (M) to DVI-D (M) 3m Black OEM Display Cable delivers a reliable connection between modern HDMI devices and legacy DVI-D monitors. Designed for single-link DVI-D use only, this passive cable features gold-flashed contacts and supports HDMI 1.4 with Ethernet for stable digital video transmission.

Technical Specifications

Gold-Flashed Connectors for Reliable Signal Integrity

The gold-flashed contacts resist corrosion and maintain consistent conductivity over time. This matters because digital video signals are sensitive to interference – poor connections can cause flickering, dropouts, or complete signal loss. The 19-pin HDMI connector precisely mates with the 24+1 DVI-D pins, ensuring stable single-link transmission without signal degradation.

Passive Design for Plug-and-Play Simplicity

This cable requires no external power or drivers – simply connect your HDMI source to your DVI-D display and it works immediately. The passive design means no latency or compatibility issues from active electronics. However, note that while the connector appears dual-link capable, only single-link pins are connected. For dual-link DVI requirements, an active adapter cable is necessary.

3m Length for Flexible Setup Options

The 3m cable length provides adequate reach for most desktop configurations without creating excessive cable clutter. This allows you to position your display at a comfortable viewing distance from your HDMI source, whether connecting a laptop to an external monitor or linking a desktop PC to a projector. The black PVC jacket protects internal wiring while maintaining a professional appearance.
