Plugable USB C to DVI Adapter

Plugable USB-C to DVI Adapter

The Plugable USB-C to DVI Adapter allows you connect a DVI display to your laptop, tablet, or desktop which supports USB 3.1 "Alternate Mode" (Alt Mode) video output functionality. Our adapter can support display resolutions up to 1920x1080@60Hz refresh rate.

Uncompromising Performance

Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.

Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.

Compatible Systems

Plug and Play on any Windows, Mac, or Linux host which supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode video output functionality.

Adapter has been fully tested for functionality on the 2017 iMac/iMac Pro, 2017 & 2018 MacBook/MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 12" 2016 / 2017, Google Pixelbook, Chromebook Pixel 2015, Dell XPS 13 9350 / 9360 & XPS 15 9560 / 9570, Lenovo P50, and Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+.

Apple Notes: To use a DVI display with MacBook systems, the display must support HDCP copy protection. Some older DVI displays do not support HDCP and will result in unusable behavior. This requirement is only enforced in OS X, as BootCamp Windows installations behave correctly with non-HDCP DVI displays.

Incompatible Systems

Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alt Mode video output.

ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not support Alt Mode video at this time.

Not compatible with Apple Cinema Displays and 2560x1440 monitors which require a dual-link DVI connection
