Straight Wire DVI-I / DVI-D Video Cable

STRAIGHTWIRE DVI-I / DVI-D, Digital Video Cable.


[Available in long lengths]



Description

Digital cables have many of the same design requirements as high quality video cables such as accurate impedance with little variation over the relevant frequency range and great shielding to prevent unwanted interference. Issues of minimizing reflections and phase angle are also important for high quality digital cables. The use of premium insulation for high velocity of propagation and minimal absorbtion is mandatory for consistent good performance. Terminations (both the connectors and methods of attachment to various cables) are critical to obtaining favorable results.
 
LEGEND:
BNC = Named for it's inventor, "Bayonet Neil Concelman" the BNC connectors is used extensively with coaxial cables
 XLR = The US-standard connector for balanced line signal cables. 



DVI-I: contains both the digital and analog connections, (DVI-D + DVI-A), it's essentially a combination of DVI-D and DVI-A cables within one cable. The I is for Integrated meaning a combination of both signals D and A.

DVI-D: is a digital only connection. If both devices being connected support a Digital DVI connection (DVI-I or DVI-D compatible) and are compatible in resolutions, refresh rates and sync, using a DVI-D cable will ensure that you are using a digital connection rather than an analog connection, without playing around with settings to assure this.
