Eaton P566‑006 – HDMI to DVI‑D Cable 6 ft

Overview

The Eaton P566‑006 is a passive digital video cable designed to interconnect HDMI‑compatible sources and DVI‑D‑equipped displays without active conversion hardware. It is deployed by AV and IT infrastructure engineers where direct HDMI‑to‑DVI connectivity is required in rack‑based AV stacks, control rooms, or multimedia workstations.

This cable supports HDMI to DVI‑D signal transmission at resolutions up to 1920 × 1200 (1080p) and provides a digital‑only path, making it suitable for video feeds from set‑top boxes, servers, media appliances, and graphics systems to display panels and projectors that accept DVI‑D input. The dual‑shielded design helps reduce EMI/RFI noise on digital video lines.

Its 6‑foot (1.8 m) length is appropriate for typical rack and console installations where source and sink are contained within equipment bays or adjacent racks, while the thin cable profile aids routing alongside fiber and copper network runs.

The P566‑006 integrates into structured video distribution setups where HDMI output devices must drive DVI displays without requiring adapters or signal converters. It aligns with standard HDCP 1.3 compliance on source and display devices, ensuring content protection where enforced.

In a practical deployment, this cable connects a media server’s HDMI output to a DVI‑D input on a rack‑mounted monitor or projector in training rooms or digital signage applications. Its direct pin‑for‑pin mapping avoids analog signal paths, preserving digital video integrity.

This cable should not be used where analog signals are required (e.g., VGA) or for bidirectional audio over DVI interfaces, as it supports digital video only. It is also unsuitable for longer runs beyond ~6 ft without active equalization.
