The ShiverPeaks BS77401 is a DVI-D to HDMI cable gender changer designed to join devices with DVI-D and HDMI interfaces.

How to use

Align the DVI-D and HDMI connectors with the corresponding ports and insert the gender changer firmly but gently until it is seated. Ensure connected devices are powered off when making or breaking connections to avoid potential electrical issues. After physical connection, power on the devices; most modern displays and graphics outputs will recognize the link automatically. Note that this passive adapter transmits digital signals only and does not convert between digital and analog formats.

Recommendations

Use this gender changer where both devices support compatible digital signals; verify that the DVI-D source and HDMI sink are set to compatible resolution and refresh rate limits. For long cable runs or high-bandwidth applications, consider using certified cables and, if necessary, active converters to maintain signal integrity.
