DVI-I dual-link connector

DVI-I distinguishes an integrated analog/digital interface from digital-only DVI-D.

Also called DVI-I DVI integrated 24+5 DVI

Extra contacts are a clue, not a promise of analog output from every device.

Look for

Compare the contacts around the flat blade with a DVI-D connector. Some mechanical combinations do not fit; never remove pins to force a match.

What makes the passive VGA path a bounded example?

FIELD NOTES 04

DVIVGAMF is a named passive DVI-I-to-VGA adapter. Its pictured dual-link-shaped DVI-I plug is not proof of a digital dual-link mode or compatibility with every DVI-I output.

Identify first

Read the part and the device.

Keep analog signal availability separate from the number of visible contact positions.

Still unresolved

Keep this requirement open.

The equipment’s supported analog output modes and the display’s timing support remain unresolved.

Explicit source exclusion · named example only

Is DVIVGAMF documented for the DVI-D-to-VGA job?

No: this passive model is specified for DVI-I; its note directs DVI-D users to a converter.

Boundary. An active conversion path is a different product and still needs equipment checks.

Next check. Check input signal, converter direction and display timing.

S494 · S493 · C015E (private workspace) · C014E (private workspace)

Before choosing an adapter or reader

  1. Confirm analog output in the source documentation.
  2. Check the exact adapter’s role and direction.
  3. Match the display mode without reading a resolution guarantee from the shell.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

DVI-I distinguishes an integrated analog/digital interface from digital-only DVI-D. [C015A]

DDWG Table 5-2 defines the combined interface as 24 numbered positions plus C1–C5. Pin 8 carries analog vertical sync, C1/C2/C3 carry analog color channels, C4 horizontal sync and C5 their analog return. [C015B]

Molex labels its numbered illustration as a DVI-I receptacle front view: the 1–8 row is above 9–16 and 17–24, with the analog group on the right. The DDWG plug and receptacle drawings use opposing views. [C015C]

DDWG distinguishes a digital-only interface from a combined analog/digital interface; the digital-only receptacle lacks sockets for the analog pins. Dell distinguishes active conversion circuitry from passive adapters. [C015D]

StarTech DVIVGAMF is a passive DVI-I-to-VGA adapter; its instructions refer DVI-D users to a separate converter. [C015E]

  • The flat digital blade is not an invented numbered signal 25. Different vendor counts can include or exclude it.
  • No housing dimensions, tolerances, insertion depth, PCB layout or fabrication approval is established.

  • Do not apply voltage or modify connector pins based on a reference table. Exact device wiring and operating requirements remain separate.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Look up the exact connector variant on the source.
  2. For VGA conversion, confirm actual analog output rather than housing fit.
  3. Use a documented converter when the source and display require different signal types.

DVI count, assignment and implementation

Use the DVI reference guides to distinguish grid positions from the blade/analog group and to keep full standard assignments separate from exact device wiring. Read the source view before applying a number; never remove contacts to force a fit.

Common questions

Questions this record can help resolve

How should I count DVI contacts: grid, blade or analog group?Read DVI-D and DVI-I single-/dual-link counts without mixing a visible contact pattern with a numbered assignment table.Does a full DVI contact grid prove dual-link support?Use a documented monitor and dock example to distinguish a connector’s physical positions from implemented digital links.DVI to VGA: when is a passive adapter not enough?Separate access to a documented analog signal from conversion of a digital-only signal.Which DVI pinout view am I looking at?Keep receptacle-front orientation, digital-only and integrated assignments, and device-specific labels separate.
