DVI
These high-speed cables have the bandwidth necessary for high-
definition video and are ideal for linking digital signage screens and other
equipment. DVI-D is a digital-only connector. DVI-I supports both digital
and analog RGB connections. DVI-A is used to carry an analog DVI signal
to a VGA device, such as a display. DFP as an early digital-only connector.
Dual-link cables double the power of the transmission up to 9.9 Gbps and
support QXGA resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz. Single-link cables
transmit up to 4.95 Gbps at 1920 x 1200.
Cabling
DisplayPort
DisplayPort is the newest AV interface. It’s incredibly versatile with the
capability to deliver digital video, audio, graphics, bidirectional
communications, and accessory power over a single connector.
DisplayPort is targeted at the computer world rather than at consumer
electronics. It is used to connect computers, monitors, projectors, etc.
DisplayPort connectors are found on newer computers and displays; the
Mini DisplayPort connector is also found on Apple
®
products. DisplayPort
uses a packetized data structure instead of a serial one, like DVI and
HDMI, so it is not directly backwards compatible. But DisplayPort ++
(dual-mode) is able to output DVI and HDMI signals with an adapter.
HDMI
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) was the first digital interface
to combine uncompressed high-definition video, up to eight channels of
uncompressed digital audio, and intelligent format and command data in
a single cable. HDMI is the de facto standard for consumer electronics.
HDMI is backward compatible with DVI. Buy only tested cables with the
HDMI logo. This guarantees the cable will perform to specification
especially because there is no maximum length specified in the HDMI
standard. And because longer lengths require a larger cable, HDMI cables
usually have 24–28 AWG copper conductors. For 1080p, Deep Color, or
3D content, choose High-Speed HDMI cables.

QUESTI
NS
1. What type of connector does your
equipment have?
Currently, the most commonly found connectors on
computers, displays, and projectors are DVI. New computer
equipment will most likely have DisplayPort and/or HDMI
connectors.
Older equipment will have VGA connectors. And, home
theater equipment will have HDMI connectors. Take a look
at the connector illustrations on this page to determine
what type of connector you have.
2. Can I mix equipment with different connectors?
Yes and no. If you need to connect a monitor with a VGA
connector to a PC with a DVI-I connector, you can, but you’ll
need an adapter or a cable with both connectors. Adapters
also exist to connect DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA
equipment. But, if you run a digital signal from a PC into,
say, a switch, it can’t be converted to analog without an
active converter or scaler. Also, to go from DisplayPort to
DualLink DVI you need active converters.

HD15 VGA
These cables can contain both 28 AWG mini coax
and 24 AWG tinned-copper VGA conductors to
provide support for all control leads, including Pins
9 and 15 for DCC compliance. This cable transmits
analog video signals. It does not support audio.

Coax
Coax cable is used as a transmission line
for radio-frequency signals. It is ideal for AV
distribution and for connecting CCTV, in-house TV systems, radio
transmissions, and surveillance systems. Coax cables are shielded to
prevent EMI interference.
NOTE: The HDMI standards with Ethernet have an additional dedicated data
channel for device networking.
