Eaton P581AB-006 Tripp Lite Safe IT DisplayPort to DVI D Antibacterial Cable 6 ft
The Eaton P581AB-006 is a 6 ft DisplayPort-to-DVI-D Single Link adapter cable designed to connect a DisplayPort source to a DVI-equipped monitor, television, projector, or other compatible display. It is a passive, unidirectional cable that carries the video signal from DisplayPort to DVI-D.
Safe-IT Antibacterial Construction
The P581AB-006 uses antibacterial material on the cable and connectors. Eaton positions the Safe-IT cable family for environments such as healthcare, retail, digital signage, and other installations where cable surfaces may be handled frequently.
DisplayPort to DVI-D Connectivity
The cable uses a DisplayPort male connector with a latching mechanism and a DVI-D Single Link male connector with locking thumbscrews. It supports high-definition resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including 1080p.
Key Features
- 6 ft DisplayPort male to DVI-D Single Link male cable
- Safe-IT antibacterial material on connectors and PVC jacket
- Supports up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including 1080p
- Passive, unidirectional DisplayPort-to-DVI-D signal path
- Latching DisplayPort connector and locking DVI connector
DC Supplies Product Note
The P581AB-006 combines legacy DVI display connectivity with Safe-IT antibacterial construction, making the cable particularly relevant for shared-display installations where users frequently handle the cable or connected equipment. Because it is passive, the DisplayPort source must support DP++ for the DisplayPort-to-DVI signal conversion.
Applications
- Healthcare and clinical display installations
- Shared workstations and office environments
- Digital signage systems
- Classrooms and educational facilities
- DisplayPort computers connected to DVI monitors
- Projectors and other DVI-equipped displays
