A 5-meter DVI cable is a type of video cable that connects devices such as computers, monitors, projectors, and graphic cards to transmit video signals. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is widely used for high-definition video display, providing high-quality digital or analog connections.

Key Features of a 5m DVI Cable:

1. Length: 5 meters (16.4 feet) – Ideal for setups where devices are a bit farther apart.
2. Types of DVI Cables:
   • DVI-D (Digital): Transmits only digital signals. Common in modern displays and devices.
   • DVI-A (Analog): Transmits only analog signals.
   • DVI-I (Integrated): Supports both analog and digital signals.
3. Connector Types:
   • Single Link: Provides bandwidth up to 3.7 Gbps (suitable for most standard resolutions).
   • Dual Link: Offers higher bandwidth (up to 7.4 Gbps), enabling higher resolutions like 2560x1600 and above.
4. Compatibility: It’s important to ensure that both the source (like a computer or laptop) and the display device (monitor, projector) support DVI connections.
5. Signal Integrity: A 5-meter cable length should work well for most devices, but longer distances might require a higher-quality cable or signal booster to maintain video quality.
