Rankie DisplayPort (DP) to DVI Cable, 1080P Full HD, 1.8 m (Black)

Item is as expected, works fine, and arrived on time.

This cable comes quite nicely packaged in a Rankie-branded ziplock bag - nothing fancy, but enough effort made to give the impression that they care about their products. The connectors on both ends of the cable fit snugly into their respective sockets (DP on the *video card* and DVI on the *monitor*), which in the case of the DP connector is nice to see - this cable replaces an older one on which the DP end was constantly losing connection after having been tugged around a bit by our overly-inquisitive cat... So to feel the DP plug slot snugly into the socket and latch home without much in the way of wobbliness was a good start, and seeing Windows immediately detect my second monitor again after I switched it back on was the perfect ending to the cable installation process.The cable itself is noticeable thinner and more flexible than the DVI cable it replaced, so it's questionable just how much copper is actually inside each core. However, unless the cat decides to try swinging on this one as well, then once it's connected up it isn't going to be getting moved around much more, so it's not as if it particularly needs to have an excess of mechanical strength. However, as noted above. the connectors on either end of the cable do feel well put together, and ultimately it does exactly what it's supposed to do - get the signal from the video card to the monitor - without any issue, The lighter-weight construction of the cable itself is also advantageous in two respects - 1) the reduced mass of cable hanging off the DP socket places less strain on the retention mechanism than a heaver cable would, and 2) it's much easier to route through trunking or other cable-tidy solutions.

I wanted a decent length cable to run DisplayPort to DVI as the DVI on an old graphics card was failing and cutting out the card. Was to mainly test that it was only the dvi as the hdmi and DisplayPort seemed ok.Ordered this as a good price and right length.Been in and working perfectly for almost a week now while the dvi would fail within hours. So it has done the job I was hoping it would perfectly.The item while obviously just a cable seemed well made so I would have no issues with buying again if another need arose.Always difficult recommending cables as they normally just do what they do. But this isn’t a cheap flimsy build like some I’ve seen although the price is good. So for a working quality cable at a good price, i would recommend to anybody else needing a DisplayPort to dvi cable.

I may be being unfair but the cable is a little narrower than I expected, still this is only a worry and I may never have a problem, but I took a star off just in case. Very happy with the product.

Package was basic grey plastic but cable length and material quality didn't disappoint. Sturdy quality cable which was picked up first time between AOC monitor with DVI input display and rx 570 DP socket and so far screen quality didn't decrease even thought it using dvi output on other end (audio works too also on external speakers just like it does with hdmi. Had to buy this as third party hdmi switch was giving weird buzzing noise when waiting for it to switch between ps4 and pc on same monitor. Now making use of the other spare output hdmi for ps4 and using this DP > DVI-i solution to make use of my other socket on monitor by default without hdmi splitter/switch in between. Such a convenient gadget and same money instead of buying brand new monitor for one more hdmi switch as long as resolution is within 1080p limit.

Cable is what you'd expect, it's a cable, it works fine.My issue however is the packaging.So for this small cable, 2 plastic end covers, 2 twistie ties, one massive anti static bag with 2 stickers on it + printing oh and a load of paper to explain that because I live in the UK I get a 12 month warranty (which all products have by law). And then amazon packaging on top of this!Might seem little a petty grip but there is no reason for the cable to be shipped with so much packaging - 1 tie and a something recyclable would have done just fine but F the environment I guess?

It works fine as a normal DP - DVI cable, however the description does not specify refresh rate capabilities. I bought this thinking it would do 144hz, it does not, I'm still stuck at my lowly 60hz. So if you're looking for a cable to get those sweet, smooth 144hz, don't get this one.

I was having an issue where my monitor was being picked up as a TV when using HDMI (also it wasn't picking up the display refresh rate properly either).I knew I had several other ports on the back of my laptop to try, unfortunately the monitor only had DVI and DVI-D.I was then thinking what would be a low cost solution to this problem, buying a new monitor was a bit expensive as there was nothing wrong with my current one.Bought this cable and plugged it in, not only did it register my monitor now as a digital monitor, but also it solved the refresh issue for the most part (it displays 60 instead of lots of other weird numbers, like 59).Highly recommend this cable if you have similar issues.
