Display question
Start with the documented source and display, then distinguish passive analog adaptation, active conversion and a bidirectional digital cable.
The answer
Short answer Usually not. A converter works in its documented direction (for example DVI in, VGA out) unless its documentation says otherwise.
Do not reverse a converter merely because both ends fit. The named DVI2VGAE documents DVI-D input and VGA output. By contrast, the named HDMIDVIMM6 digital cable explicitly documents both directions; that is separate evidence, not a rule for every adapter.
Why the simple answer is not enough
DVIVGAMF documents a passive connection from DVI-I equipment to a VGA display. The source specifically distinguishes DVI-D equipment; a physical DVI contact pattern alone does not establish an analog signal.
DVI2VGAE documents active DVI-D-to-VGA conversion and no audio. Its published path does not establish VGA-source-to-DVI-display use.
HDMIDVIMM6 names both DVI-to-HDMI and HDMI-to-DVI digital-video applications. Its passive classification and bidirectionality belong to this exact cable, not to the other products beside it.
DVI2HD documents DVI-D input and HDMI output with a separate USB-audio path. The physical connector description is not a promise of reverse conversion or implemented dual-link transport.
