C2G 3m HDMI to DVI-D Digital Video Cable (9.8ft)

The 42517 is a 3-meter (approximately 9.8-foot) HDMI to DVI-D Digital Video Cable that connects devices with HDMI outputs to displays or devices with DVI-D inputs.

This HDMI to DVI-D cable is 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet) long, providing extended reach for connecting devices positioned further apart.

While HDMI supports both video and audio, DVI is video-only. This means when using this cable, audio will not be carried through to a DVI display and would require a separate audio connection.

The specific maximum resolution isn't stated in the available information, but HDMI to DVI-D cables typically support resolutions up to 1920x1200 or 1080p at 60Hz, depending on the specific implementation.

This appears to be a uni-directional cable designed specifically to connect an HDMI source to a DVI-D display. For the reverse connection (DVI source to HDMI display), a different adapter cable would be needed.

This cable is commonly used to connect modern devices with HDMI outputs (like laptops, gaming consoles, or streaming devices) to older monitors or projectors that have DVI inputs but no HDMI ports, especially when those devices need to be positioned some distance apart.

The 3-meter HDMI to DVI-D cable continues to be a versatile solution for connecting HDMI sources to DVI displays across longer distances. Manufacturing improvements have enhanced signal integrity and connector durability, ensuring reliable performance even with the extended cable length.

If you need to connect a device with an HDMI output to a monitor or display with a DVI input that's positioned at a moderate distance away, this 3-meter cable is a perfect solution. It provides extra flexibility for room layouts and equipment positioning.
