Eaton P581-006-V2 Tripp Lite DisplayPort 1 2 to DVI D Active Adapter Cable 6ft
The Eaton Tripp Lite P581-006-V2 is a 6 ft active DisplayPort 1.2 to DVI-D adapter cable designed to connect a DisplayPort-equipped computer to a compatible DVI monitor, projector, or television. The cable combines signal conversion and the physical connection in one assembly, so a separate video adapter is not required.
The P581-006-V2 supports computer video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and HD video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p). Its active circuitry converts both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output, including DisplayPort sources that do not provide DP++ signaling.
Key Features
- Active DisplayPort 1.2 to DVI-D adapter cable
- 6 ft (1.83 m) cable length
- Latching DisplayPort male connector
- DVI-D male connector wired to DVI-D Single Link
- Supports up to 1920 x 1200 computer resolution and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) HD video
DisplayPort to DVI Connectivity
The P581-006-V2 provides a direct connection from a DisplayPort computer or graphics source to a DVI-equipped display. Because it is an active adapter, it can convert both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode DisplayPort output rather than depending on the source's DP++ capability. This makes it suitable for retaining compatible DVI displays when upgrading the computer or graphics hardware to DisplayPort.
Cable Construction
The cable has a black PVC jacket with a VW-1 rating and uses foil-and-braid shielding. Eaton specifies gold-plated connectors and contacts, while the DisplayPort connector uses a latching or gripping design. Integral strain relief and molded connectors are also specified for the cable assembly.
Applications
- DisplayPort computers to DVI monitors
- DisplayPort graphics cards to DVI displays
- DisplayPort systems to DVI projectors
- Digital signage using compatible DVI displays
- Office, conference room, classroom, and workstation video connections
