UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI Cable | 2 Metre Male-to-Male | DVI-D 24+1 Bi-Directional | 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz | Gold-Plated Contacts
Keep an older office monitor or projector working with a newer laptop instead of replacing hardware that still functions properly.
Condition: New

UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI Cable Male to Male 2m is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,300, brand new and sealed, at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The HD106 carries an HDMI Type-A male plug on one end and a DVI-D 24+1 male plug on the other, moving video in either direction across a 2-metre run. Oxygen-free copper conductors sit beneath aluminium foil and braided shielding, and both plugs carry gold plating against corrosion. Picture output reaches 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, which covers 1080p Full HD along with the 1600 x 1200 and 1280 x 1024 modes older monitors still run.
Kenyan offices remain full of DVI-only monitors bought between 2010 and 2016 that still display a clean picture, paired with newer laptops that carry HDMI ports only. The UGREEN HD106 closes that gap for accountants running dual screens in Upper Hill, lecturers plugging into DVI projectors at Kenyatta University and JKUAT, and IT staff rebuilding desks across Industrial Area branch offices. Rather than replacing a working 22-inch monitor at KSh 15,000 or more, buyers spend KSh 1,300 and keep it in service. The 2-metre length reaches from a laptop to a monitor arm, a wall-mounted screen, or a boardroom projector without straining the plug.
Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded leads with thin conductors and loose screws, Mascom International lists the HD106 with its real resolution ceiling and its one genuine limitation stated up front: DVI carries no audio. Users consistently report that the finger-tightened screws hold the plug steady through months of desk moves, where push-fit copies drift loose and drop the picture mid-meeting. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for this cable from schools and county offices keeping older display fleets alive. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test it on your own monitor, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Common Questions About the UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI Cable
What does the UGREEN HD106 actually do?
The HD106 converts the signal path between an HDMI port and a DVI-D display so the two connect directly, with no adapter box, no drivers, and no external power. Plug the HDMI end into your laptop, desktop, PS4, Xbox, decoder, or Blu-ray player, and the DVI end into a monitor, projector, or older HDTV. The display then reads the picture as if it came from a native DVI source. Both HDMI and DVI-D use the same TMDS signalling underneath, which is why a passive cable works.
Will the HD106 carry sound to my monitor or projector?
No. DVI is a video-only standard and carries no audio channel, so nothing reaches the monitor's speakers through this cable. This catches many first-time buyers, and it is worth knowing before purchase rather than after. Run sound separately through your laptop speakers, a 3.5mm cable into desktop speakers, or a Bluetooth speaker. Most DVI monitors from that era have weak built-in speakers anyway, so a separate audio path usually sounds better. Mascom International stocks 3.5mm audio cables and desktop speakers if you need one.
What resolution can the UGREEN HD106 handle?
UGREEN rates the HD106 at 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, which covers 1080p Full HD, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 1024, and every lower mode common on DVI monitors.Single-link DVI-D tops out near 1920 x 1200 by design, so 4K output is not possible over this connection.
Does the HD106 work in both directions?
Yes. The HD106 is bi-directional, meaning it works HDMI-source to DVI-display and also DVI-source to HDMI-display. A desktop tower with only a DVI graphics output can feed a modern HDMI monitor or TV using the same cable, with no second purchase needed. This matters in Kenyan offices where hardware ages unevenly and one desk has a new screen with an old tower while the next desk has the reverse. One cable covers both directions.
Which laptops and monitors does this cable fit?
The DVI end fits DVI-D 24+1 ports and also seats correctly in DVI-I 24+5 ports found on many Dell, HP, Acer, AOC, and Samsung monitors from 2008 onward. The HDMI end fits any full-size HDMI Type-A port on HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, and Apple machines. Laptops with only USB-C, Mini HDMI, or Micro HDMI outputs need a small adapter first, which Mascom International stocks separately. Bring your laptop to Kimathi Street and we will confirm the fit before you pay.
Is 2 metres long enough for a normal desk setup?
Two metres covers the large majority of desk layouts, reaching from a laptop or tower on the floor up to a monitor arm, a wall bracket, or a screen positioned across a shared workstation. It also handles a boardroom table to a ceiling-mounted DVI projector in smaller meeting rooms. Longer throws in lecture halls or large conference rooms need 3 metres or more. Slack in the run matters too, since a taut cable pulls sideways on the port and loosens the connection over time.
Why choose the HD106 over a cheap unbranded cable?
Unbranded leads commonly use aluminium-coated conductors instead of copper, skip the foil layer, and mould the DVI shell without working thumbscrews. The result is picture flicker, sparkle artefacts, or a signal that drops when someone bumps the desk. The HD106 uses oxygen-free copper under aluminium foil and braid, with gold-plated contacts rated for roughly 5,000 plug cycles. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the difference shows most in shared offices where cables get unplugged and reconnected daily by different people.
Is the UGREEN HD106 worth KSh 1,300 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 1,300 the cable costs less than a tenth of a replacement 22-inch monitor and roughly the same as two matatu commutes across Nairobi in a week. Cheap market copies sell around KSh 400 to KSh 600 and often fail inside a few months, meaning two or three replacements plus wasted trips. The HD106 carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty and can be tested in-store against your own screen before payment.
Technical Specifications
Connector Layout and Cable Termination
- HDMI Type-A male plug on one end connects to laptops, desktops, consoles, decoders, and Blu-ray players
- DVI-D 24+1 male plug on the opposite end seats into monitors, projectors, and older HDTV display panels
- Two knurled thumbscrews on the DVI shell tighten by hand, holding the plug against accidental pulls
- Moulded strain relief at both plug bases resists the bending stress that snaps conductors near the connector
- Gold-plated contacts rated for approximately 5,000 insertion cycles suit shared desks with frequent plug changes
- Straight plug orientation on both ends keeps the cable clear of adjacent ports on crowded laptop edges
Video Signal Support and Resolution Ceiling
- Rated output of 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz covers 1080p Full HD and WUXGA monitor modes without scaling
- Backward compatible with 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 1024, 1024 x 768, and 800 x 600 legacy display modes
- Single-link DVI-D bandwidth caps the connection below 4K, so this cable suits Full HD workflows only
- Uncompressed video transfer means no quality loss between source and screen across the full 2-metre length
- Carries video only, since the DVI standard has no audio channel and passes no sound to the display
- Refresh rate holds at 60Hz for spreadsheets, documents, browser work, and casual gaming at 1080p
Conductor Materials and Shielding
- Oxygen-free copper conductors reduce resistance and hold signal integrity better than aluminium-coated alternatives used in budget cables
- Aluminium foil wrap blocks radio frequency interference from Wi-Fi routers, phones, and nearby office equipment
- Braided outer shield adds a second barrier against electromagnetic interference from fluorescent lighting and power cabling
- Combined double shielding cuts the sparkle and flicker artefacts common on poorly shielded leads in dense office environments
- PVC outer jacket stays flexible in Nairobi's climate range and coastal humidity along Mombasa and Diani
- Nylon braided sheathing on current production runs resists abrasion where the cable crosses desk edges
Device Compatibility Across Ports
- Works with HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, Acer, and Apple laptops carrying a full-size HDMI Type-A output port
- Fits DVI-D 24+1 monitor inputs and also seats correctly in DVI-I 24+5 ports on mixed hardware
- Compatible with PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Roku, Wii, and set-top decoders sending HDMI output
- Bi-directional operation lets a DVI-equipped tower drive a newer HDMI monitor or television screen instead
- Not compatible with DVI-A analogue-only ports or VGA connections, which need an active converter instead
- Devices with USB-C, Mini HDMI, or Micro HDMI outputs require a small adapter available separately at Mascom International
Build Quality and Daily Handling
- Two-metre length balances desk reach against cable clutter behind monitors and under office workstations
- Black PVC jacket hides dust marks better than light-coloured cables in Nairobi offices near busy roads
- Cable diameter stays slim enough to route through monitor arm channels and standard desk grommet holes
- Plug shells resist the loosening that affects push-fit copies after repeated connection changes in shared workspaces
- Weight stays low enough that the cable does not drag a lightweight laptop sideways on a desk
- Storage coiling causes no memory kinks, so the cable lies flat again after transport between offices or campuses
Setup and Practical Placement
- Plug-and-play operation needs no drivers, no software install, and no separate power supply at either end
- Windows and macOS detect the display automatically, with extend or duplicate modes set through display settings
- Tighten both DVI thumbscrews finger-tight only, since over-tightening strips the plastic threading on monitor housingsLeave slack near both ports so the cable weight never pulls sideways on the connector during desk movement
- Route the cable away from power extension leads where possible to further reduce interference on longer desk runs
- Colour available in black, matching standard office cable management and the wider UGREEN accessory range
Package Contents
- UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI Cable, 2 metres, black finish
