Product details
DVI-D Dual link cables are much higher rated on bandwidth (up to 2560 x 1600 resolution / 1600p) compared to single link which is only rated up to 1920x1200 resolutions.
This cable is mostly used for connecting your Xbox 360, Playstation 3, DSTV HDPVR, Blu-ray player to a display with only DVI-D input and no HDMI inputs. Audio will travel via coaxial / optical since HDMI to DVI only carries video. Smaller computer LCD Screens are much cheaper compared to LCD TV's and offers much higher resolutions than normal televisions.
Plug cable from Output HDMI Female on HDMI Device to Input Female DVI-D on display.
The cable is bi-directional and can also by used to connect your PC Graphics Card (DVI Output) to the HDMI Port on your HDMI display. The graphics card output needs to support DVI-D digital signals. Most Nvidia and ATI graphics cards support DVI-I which can autoswitch between DVI-D (Digital) and DVI-A (Analog). To explain the differences in the variations of DVI connectors see the diagram below
