The Startech HDDVIFM8IN HDMI to DVI-D Video Adapter Cable features one HDMI female connector and one DVI-D male connector, which enables a bi-directional connection between HDMI-capable devices and DVI-D capable devices to overcome compatibility issues.
The HDMI to DVI dongle is 8-inches long (end-to-end), which lessens strain on the connectors and prevents damage to the cable while also reducing the potential of blocking other nearby ports.
