The RS PRO 5 metre DVI-A male to SVGA 15HD male cable which has a black PVC jack and connectors have a gold flash covering to prevent corrosion. There are three different types of DVI cables which all share a common connector, DVI-A(analogue), DVI-D(digital) and DVI-I(integrated). This cable will passively convert a DVI-A signal to SVGA. DVI-D and DVI-I are also split into two types of cable, dual link and single link. Dual link has all the pins connected to achieve higher resolutions where as single link may have the physical pins present but some will not be connected inside the cable.
