The Cables Direct USB3C-DVI-2M is a 2 metre cable for connecting a USB-C device to a DVI display. It suits anyone who needs to connect a compatible laptop or other USB-C source to a DVI monitor or projector.

It converts a DisplayPort 1.2 Alternate Mode signal from the USB-C input to DVI output, so it can link newer USB-C devices with DVI screens. The cable supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz and HDCP content protection. Its USB-C connector is reversible, and the cable draws power from the USB bus without an external power supply.

Compatibility

The source device must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, and the display must have a DVI input. This is a USB-C-to-DVI cable for video output; it is not described as bi-directional. Good to know: a USB-C port without DisplayPort Alternate Mode support will not provide video through this cable.
