How to recognize a DVI cable?

There are two variables in every DVI connector, and each represents one characteristic.
The flat pin on one side denotes whether the cable is digital or analog:

• A flat pin with four surrounding pins is either DVI-I or DVI-A
• A flat pin alone denotes DVI-D

The pinsets vary depending on whether the cable is single-link, dual-link, or analog:

• Two separated 9-pin sets (rows of 6) for a single-link cable
• A solid 24-pin set (rows of 8) for a dual-link cable
• A separated 8-pin and 4-pin set is for DVI-A

Which Cable to Use?

Determining which type of DVI cable to use for your products is critical in getting the right cable the first time. Check both of the female DVI plugs to determine what signals they are compatible with.

• If one or both connections are DVI-D, you need a DVI-D cable
• If one or both connections are DVI-A, you need a DVI-A cable
• If one connection is DVI and the other is VGA, and the DVI is analog-compatible, you need a DVI to VGA cable or a DVI/VGA adaptor
• If both connections are DVI-I, you may use any DVI cable, but a DVI-I cable is recommended
• If one connection is analog and the other connection is digital, there is no way to connect them with a single cable. You'll have to use an electronic convertor box, available in either analog VGA to digital DVI or digital DVI to analog VGA

DVI Connector Guide

• DVI-D - True Digital Video: DVI-D cables are used for direct digital connections between source video (namely, video cards) and LCD monitors. This provides a faster, higher-quality image than with analog, due to the nature of the digital format. All video cards initially produce a digital video signal, which is converted into analog at the VGA output. The analog signal travels to the monitor and is re-converted to a digital signal. DVI-D eliminates the analog conversion process and improves the connection between source and display. (If you are connecting a DVI computer to a DVI monitor, this is the cable you want)
• DVI-A - High-Res Analog: DVI-A are used to carry a DVI signal to an analog display, such as a CRT monitor or budget LCD. The most common use of DVI-A is connecting to a VGA device, since DVI-A and VGA carry the same signal. There is some quality loss involved in the digital to analog conversion, which is why a digital signal is recommended whenever possible (If you are connecting a DVI computer to a VGA monitor, this is the cable you want)
• DVI-I - The Best of Both Worlds: DVI-I cables are integrated cables which are capable of transmitting either a digital-to-digital signal or an analog-to-analog signal. This makes it a more versatile cable, being usable in either digital or analog situations. Like any other format, DVI digital and analog formats are non-interchangeable. This means that a DVI-D cable will not work on an analog system, nor a DVI-A on a digital system. To connect an analog source to a digital display, you'll need a VGA to DVI-D electronic convertor; to connect a digital output to an analog monitor, you'll need to use a DVI-D to VGA convertor

How to Build a VGA Cable:



Build a VGA cable on site and for pennies by soldering two ends on a cable and attaching a pair of hoods. When a longer cable is needed, one can be made in just minutes for very little cost in a few simple steps. Nearly any computer cable can be created in custom lengths by using a small assortment of solder and crimp connectors and having a supply of cable on hand. Simple steps and links to the pin diagrams necessary to make various cables are all that is needed.

• Cut the cable to the desired length, leaving some spare cable for slack and to be able to rearrange the desk.
• Strip about an inch of the outer insulation from each end of the cable, being careful not to nick or strip the insulation from any of the inner conductors. If any of the inner conductors are stripped in the process, cut the cable back an inch and strip the outer conductor again.
• Strip about a quarter-inch from each of the inner conductors. Preheat the soldering iron while stripping the conductors.
• Place one D-sub connector into the hands-free soldering aid so that the solder connectors are facing up.
• Insert a single conductor deeply into the middle pin of the middle row of solder connections, choosing a color that is in the middle of the cable to keep the conductors from getting tangled.
• Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the conductor and press it against the solder connection on the D-Sub connector for a second or so and then apply the tip of the solder to the conductor until solder flows into the connector and onto the conductor evenly. Remove the soldering iron and inspect for a good connection.
• Solder the remaining pins in the middle row and then solder the pins in the outer rows until each of the 15 pins has a conductor soldered to it. Repeat the process for the other end of the cable, using the same color conductor for the same pin number on each end of the cable.
• Attach the protective hoods to the ends of the cable after inspecting the connections. Connect the cable to the monitor and the video card.
