HDMI to DVI adapter cable MicroConnect W125665460, male HDMI to female DVI, 15 cm

MicroConnect W125665460 is a passive 15 cm adapter cable that converts a male HDMI plug to a female DVI connector. The cable provides a direct wired link for digital video signals between HDMI-equipped sources — such as laptops, media players or graphics cards — and displays or projectors that accept DVI input. Because the adapter is passive, it carries only the digital video signal and does not transmit audio or perform active signal conversion.

Advantages

The short, lightweight construction simplifies connections in tight spaces and reduces cable clutter. Passive design requires no power, drivers or setup, allowing quick plug-and-play connection when both devices support compatible digital video formats. Gold-plated contacts and a molded housing ensure stable contact and basic protection against wear during repeated insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Connecting an HDMI output from a laptop to a monitor with DVI input
• Linking media players or set-top boxes to DVI-equipped displays for video-only transmission
• Using with graphics cards that provide HDMI outputs when the target display accepts DVI

Key specifications

• Connector A: male HDMI (type A)
• Connector B: female DVI (DVI-D compatible, digital-only)
• Cable length: 15 cm
• Signal type: digital video only (no audio support)
• Passive adapter: no active conversion or power required
• Typical supported resolutions: depends on source and display capabilities (digital single-link bandwidth)

How to use

Plug the male HDMI end into the HDMI output of the source device and connect a DVI cable from the display or projector into the female DVI connector on the adapter. Ensure both devices are powered off or set to the appropriate input while connecting if recommended by the device manufacturers. After making the physical connections, power on the devices and select the DVI input on the display if necessary. If the source and display support compatible digital video formats, the image should appear without additional software.

Usage recommendations

Use this adapter where only digital video is required and both source and display support compatible DVI/HDMI signal timings. Do not expect audio transmission; use a separate audio connection if sound is needed. For long-distance runs or when format conversion is required (e.g., analog DVI-A or differing signal standards), choose an active converter or a longer shielded cable suited to the application.
