UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI 2K Cable
The UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI cable provides essential cross-format connectivity for mixed-generation equipment setups. This 1-meter black cable (UG-30116) bridges the gap between modern HDMI sources and legacy DVI displays through reliable engineering and precision construction.
Specialized Cross-Format Design
The HD106 features a purpose-specific configuration that addresses common compatibility challenges:
- HDMI (Type A) male connector for modern source devices
- DVI-D (24+1) male connector for legacy displays and projectors
- Gold-plated contacts on both ends for reliable signal transfer
- Bidirectional signal handling for flexible installation options
- Secure screw-in DVI connector that prevents accidental disconnection
This hybrid design makes the HD106 particularly suitable for connecting modern computers, streaming devices, and gaming consoles to older DVI-equipped monitors and projectors.
Reliable Signal Conversion
The UGREEN HD106 incorporates technical elements that ensure optimal format transition:
- Triple-shielded construction that blocks electromagnetic interference
- Oxygen-free copper conductors for minimal signal degradation
- Precision-matched impedance for consistent data transfer
- Direct pin-mapping architecture that preserves signal integrity
- Enhanced ground isolation for clean signal transmission
Furthermore, these engineering choices ensure the cable maintains reliable performance even in environments with multiple electronic devices that might cause signal interference.
Comprehensive Resolution Support
The HD106 supports an extensive range of visual formats compatible with both interfaces:
- 2K (1920×1200) resolution at 60Hz for detailed visuals
- 1080p Full HD compatibility at up to 60Hz
- Wide aspect ratio support for modern content
- Multiple refresh rate compatibility for various applications
- Consistent pixel mapping without scaling artifacts
These capabilities ensure the cable provides optimal performance when connecting modern content sources to legacy displays without introducing visual degradation or compatibility issues.
Audio Handling Considerations
The HD106 addresses the inherent differences in audio capabilities between formats:
- DVI-D connector focuses on video-only transmission
- Compatible with separate audio solutions when needed
- Clean signal separation that prevents cross-talk
- Maintains full video quality without audio interference
- Supports external audio routing through separate connections
These characteristics acknowledge the format limitations while providing clear video transmission, allowing users to implement separate audio solutions when required.
Perfect For
- IT professionals: The HD106’s reliable format conversion supports workplace technology transitions, allowing continued use of functional DVI monitors with newer HDMI-output computers and laptops during phased equipment upgrades.
- Education environments: With compatibility for connecting modern source devices to installed DVI projectors, this cable enables curriculum technology updates without requiring complete audiovisual system replacement.
