StarTech HDMIDVIMM6 HDMI-to-DVI-D Cable
A passive digital-video interconnect between HDMI and DVI-D equipment. The signal path can be used in either direction when the source and display support compatible digital video modes.
IDENTIFICATION / SAFETY: Match the complete part number, connector direction, host requirements, and revision to manufacturer documentation. A matching connector shape is not proof of protocol or electrical compatibility.

Compatibility & electrical hazards
Carries compatible digital video only; DVI does not carry HDMI audio. This passive cable does not translate unsupported resolutions, refresh rates, HDCP behavior, or connector signals. Check source/display documentation and do not assume a DVI-D display receives audio.
Archival & handling notes
Keep the source direction and known working display mode with the cable record. DVI housings are comparatively bulky; support cable weight and avoid side-loading the port.
For collection records, photograph both connector faces and all labels; record manufacturer, complete SKU, revision, provenance, condition, and the source document used for identification. Do not apply power to an unidentified or damaged cable.
