Nippon Labs DisplayPort to DVI Adapter with Latch, 1080p@60Hz DP 1.2 M/F

This adapter plugs into a DisplayPort output on your computer and provides a DVI socket for your own DVI cable. The signal flows one way only, from the DisplayPort side out to the DVI monitor. The DisplayPort end has a latch, so it stays put once it is in, which matters on a machine that gets moved or bumped.

FAQ

Does this work in both directions? No. It converts from DisplayPort out to the other format only. It will not take an HDMI, DVI or VGA source and feed a DisplayPort monitor. For that you need a converter built for the opposite direction.

What is the latch for? DisplayPort connectors have a small spring catch that locks into the socket so the cable cannot fall out on its own. Press the release button on the connector before pulling it, or you risk damaging the port.

Is a DVI cable included? No. The output is a DVI socket, so you supply the DVI cable that runs to the monitor. In most cases that is the cable already connected to the monitor.

Will I get sound through it? No. DVI carries video only with no audio, so sound has to come from your computer's own audio output or separate speakers.
