Specifically designed for digital devices, DVI Dual-Link provides the brightest, most accurate colors and sharpest detail for your digital devices, such as your HDTV/digital satellite receiver, plasma TV, LCD TV or monitor, progressive-scan DVD player, and digital projector. DVI transfers data in pure digital form, making it the ideal solution for high-definition, all-digital video. To obtain the highest-possible resolution from DVI technology, a dual-link, 24-pin connection is required. Single-link (18-pin) connectors can significantly limit the bandwidth potential of DVI and degrade the performance of your components. Blue Series DVI Cables are dual-link-constructed for optimal performance, and provide the convenience of backward-compatibility with AV hardware that is single-link-enabled only.
