Calrad 35-711a-b Hdmi Female to Dvi Male Adapter

Product Description

The CALRAD 35-711a-b is a compact passive adapter that converts an HDMI female port to a DVI male connection, allowing audio-visual technicians and installers to bridge HDMI signal sources with DVI-equipped displays or equipment. The adapter features gold-plated contacts, which reduce oxidation and promote stable signal transfer at the connection interface. Its small form factor makes it practical for use in tight wiring spaces, equipment racks, or mobile service kits. Installation requires no external power and no driver configuration.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial AV installations where an HDMI output device must connect to a DVI input display, projector, or video card. Typical applications include connecting set-top boxes, media players, or computers with HDMI outputs to monitors or displays that accept DVI input only. The compact body keeps cable runs clean and reduces strain on port connections in low-clearance installations.

Installation Notes

This adapter is typically installed by AV technicians or low-voltage wiring professionals. Power down or de-energize connected display and source equipment before attaching or removing the adapter to avoid port damage. No tools are required for connection, but ensure the DVI male connector is fully seated and finger-tight to maintain signal integrity. Follow applicable low-voltage installation codes for the jurisdiction where the work is performed.
