Will this cable allow a DVI card to connect to a display port input on a monitor? My laptop dock has DVI output, but my monitor only has displayport.

This Male end DVI cable, will plug into the Female DVI outlet of your video card, and the other end, will plug into the Female plug of a DisplayPort on your monitor. (M)DVI to (M)DP adapter cable.

Not sure if it will. I am using the cable to go from my graphics card display port to the dvi port on my monitor. Since the cable is not marked as a "single direction", it may work.

Steven Shields, The DisplayPort in the description is a DisplayPort output. If you need to connect a VGA monitor, one of the DVI ports can be converted.

It may depend on what kind of graphics card you have. I had a ThinkPad laptop with miniDP port and I tried to connect to a DVI monitor using this device and I could not find a way to show anything on my monitor and I was using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

my PC nvidia display card has a display port ---my monitor has HDMI -- it works flawlessly and i don't need an adapter

Yes, that's the very purpose of this cable. Just connect it to your HDMI port on your computer graphics card and then connect the other end to your DVI port on your big monitor.

You would need a video card with a Thunderbolt output or a converter. Rest assured the DP port is output only, and you cannot connect it to a PC via DisplayPort.

I don't think it will. Typically, a pc computer has vga output port and this cable is Mini DisplayPort to DVI.

That's what we used it for. You'll need a splitter cable - and the end that goes into the card has a bazillion pins (ok, 60) - not standard DVI plug. The other ends of the splitter can be DVI. See "DMS-60/LFH-60 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable Converter for Dual Monitor"

there is a VGA, DVI and HDMI port in this desktop. I have a monitor with VGA, DVI, and HDMI port. It works good with VGA port, I have not tried DVI port, I tried HDMI port but that did not work.

Yes, you can. You would need an Active DisplayPort Adapter, which is usually around $85+. You would plug the DVI-D into the Active DisplayPort Adapter, then the DisplayPort into the docking station, along with the USB directly into the laptop's USB port or the docking station, and then the USB to USB cable from the laptop or docking station into the Active DisplayPort Adapter to supply additional power (or else your frames will occasionally drop). Then you'll be good to go.I use my work laptop, which is a Dell E6430s and a docking station, with this monitor when working at home.

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.

This is not an active adapter. An active adapter should not be required to between a Displayport computer or video card and a DVI monitor. Both use compatible digital signals, though Displayport is capable of high color precision.

I do not have the hardware to test that, but I would be skeptical that it would work...The DisplayPort would be passing through a DisplayPort signal, but no the other way around.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. This cable will connect a computer that has an HDMI port to a monitor that has a DVI port.

If I understand your question correctly, no. This cable is intended to connect FROM a DisplayPort output on your laptop to a VGA input on a monitor or projector.

This cable would work with your computer. As you mentioned the HDMI output from your computer will terminate in a displayport input on your monitor.

Absolutely, as long as you have the proper adapter. There are supposedly display ports but I've yet to find any cables that go from the display port in the laptop to the monitor. HDMI or DVI will work. I suggest DP to DVI.
