Dual-Link
The active Dual-Link Dongle also converts DisplayPort input signals to DVI output signals. However, unlike
the passive Single-Link dongle, the Dual-Link dongle allows higher resolutions (greater than 1920x1200)
on color displays.
WARNING: A Dual-Link DVI cable must be used to connect your display’s DVI connector
with the DVI c onnector on the Dual-Link Dongle.
The Dual-Link dongle is ordered separately.
