Tripp Lite DVI-I to DVI-D Dual-Link Video Adapter (F/M)

Overview

The Tripp Lite P118-000 is a DVI-I to DVI-D dual-link video adapter designed to connect digital-only devices to equipment originally wired for either digital or analog signals. It converts a DVI-I male connector into a DVI-D male connector while maintaining a fully digital signal path, preventing compatibility issues that arise from mixed signal formats. This adapter is ideal for environments such as corporate workstations, edit suites, classrooms, and home offices where monitors, projectors, or KVM switches need to interface with hardware that uses different DVI connectors.
