This DVI to DisplayPort adapter lets you connect a DVI video source, such as your desktop computer, to your DisplayPort (DP) monitor or projector. The DVI to DisplayPort converter is USB powered, giving you the freedom to power it using a USB port on your computer, unlike some converters that require bulky external power adapters. USB powered devices don't require an AC outlet, so you can connect a DVI computer to a DP projector or display where power outlets are limited or inaccessible, such as your boardroom or workstation. The DVI to DP adapter also supports plug-and-play installation, so you won’t need to load any drivers or software on your computer.
