The Ergotron 97-750 is a 10-foot DVI Dual-Link TMDS monitor cable designed to connect compatible computers, graphics outputs, and digital displays. It uses DVI-D male connectors at both ends and supports digital video connections between equipment with compatible DVI-D interfaces.
With a cable length of approximately 3.05 metres, this accessory provides additional reach for workstation installations where the display and computer are positioned farther apart. Ergotron recommends this cable for WorkFit workstation configurations, where sufficient cable length helps accommodate movement between sitting and standing positions.
Connectivity and Signal Transmission
The cable uses a dual-link DVI-D connection for digital video transmission. Its double-shielded construction combines foil and braided shielding to help protect the video signal against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts and molded housings with integrated strain relief. These features support the physical connection and help reduce stress where the cable meets each connector.
Compatibility
The Ergotron 97-750 connects devices equipped with compatible female DVI-D ports. Its male-to-male connector arrangement is suitable for direct connections between a compatible computer or graphics output and a digital monitor.
- Computer video outputs: Compatible dual-link DVI-D outputs.
- Digital monitors: Displays equipped with compatible female DVI-D inputs.
- WorkFit workstations: Configurations requiring additional cable reach as the workstation changes height.
- Other compatible video equipment: Digital display systems supporting the cable's DVI-D interface.
This cable does not provide HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C connectivity and does not perform video signal conversion. Confirm the interfaces and resolution requirements of both connected devices before ordering.
Key Features
- Dual-link DVI-D connectivity: Supports digital video connections between compatible source devices and displays.
- 10-foot cable length: Provides approximately 3.05 metres of connection distance.
- Double shielding: Combines foil and braided shielding to help reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
- Gold-plated contacts: Provides gold-plated contact surfaces for electrical connectivity.
- Molded connectors with strain relief: Helps protect cable termination points against mechanical stress during normal handling.
Applications
- Connecting compatible computers to DVI-D digital monitors.
- Providing additional video cable length for office workstations.
- Supporting display connections on height-adjustable Ergotron WorkFit workstations.
- Replacing an existing DVI-D dual-link cable in a compatible display installation.
DC Supplies Product Note
For height-adjustable workstations, check the full movement range before selecting the cable length. Route the cable so that it has sufficient slack when the workstation is raised and lowered, without becoming trapped or pulling on either connector. Also verify that both devices support DVI-D dual-link connections; a physically similar connector does not guarantee identical interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Ergotron 97-750 used for?
It connects compatible computers or video sources to digital monitors using a dual-link DVI-D interface. Its 10-foot length also supports workstation installations requiring additional cable reach.
2. What connectors does this cable use?
The cable has DVI-D male connectors at both ends. Both connected devices must have compatible female DVI-D ports for a direct connection.
3. Is the Ergotron 97-750 suitable for a WorkFit workstation?
Yes. Ergotron recommends this cable for WorkFit workstations where additional cable length may be needed to accommodate changes between sitting and standing heights.
4. Does this cable connect directly to HDMI or DisplayPort devices?
No. The cable uses DVI-D connectors. Connecting equipment with HDMI or DisplayPort interfaces requires a separately selected adapter or converter that supports the specific source and display configuration.
5. What is the benefit of double shielding?
The foil and braided shielding help reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that could affect signal transmission.
6. Does the cable support dual-link DVI displays?
Yes. It is designed for dual-link DVI-D digital video connections. The actual resolution and refresh rate depend on the capabilities of the source device, display, and complete connection.
