Cables Direct HDMI-DVI-D Cable | 1m Black Expert Lead

This Cables Direct 1m HDMI-DVI-D Black cable connects modern HDMI sources to older DVI-D displays. It is designed for users who need a direct digital link without analogue conversion.

Secure Digital Video Transfer

The cable uses a pure digital path from HDMI to DVI-D. This avoids analogue signal degradation. In practice, you get a stable picture without ghosting. The 30 AWG wire size is suitable for this 1m length. However, for longer runs, a thicker gauge may be required. You should verify your source and display both support DVI-D. This ensures compatibility with the digital standard.

Gold-Plated Connection Reliability

The connector contacts are gold-plated. This helps resist corrosion over time. It also ensures a consistent signal connection. The connectors are male-to-male. So, they plug directly into your devices. The black PVC jacket is practical for most environments. However, it is not listed here as armoured or fire-retardant. You should confirm the installation environment suits this jacket type.

Fixed 1m Length for Tidy Setups

The 1-metre length is ideal for close-proximity connections. It reduces cable clutter on a desk. Because it is a fixed length, you must measure your setup. This cable is not extendable. It connects a source directly to a screen. For example, a PC tower to a monitor on a desk. If you need more reach, a longer cable would be required.

Pure DVI-D Compatibility

This cable is for DVI-D use only. It does not support analogue VGA signals. It also does not carry audio. The HDMI end carries video only. So, you will need a separate audio cable. Confirm your display has a DVI-D port. Note that DVI-D and DVI-I are different. This cable will not fit a DVI-I port if it is missing the digital pins.
