Active DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter for 2560 × 1600
Connect a DisplayPort computer to a dual-link DVI display at up to 2560 × 1600 with an active adapter powered through its attached USB-A lead.

Active signal conversion
Works with standard DisplayPort and DP++ sources because the adapter performs active DisplayPort-to-DVI conversion.
Dual-link DVI resolution
Supports one compatible dual-link DVI display at up to 2560 × 1600 at 60Hz.
USB-powered operation
An attached USB-A lead supplies the power required by the active conversion electronics.
What to know
For 2560 × 1600, use a dual-link DVI display and dual-link DVI cable. Connect the attached USB-A power lead to a powered USB port. DVI carries video only, so audio requires a separate connection. The adapter works from DisplayPort source to DVI display, not in reverse.
