Cable Tools
Interactive tools to help you pick, identify, and validate a video connection: the Cable Selector
Guide finds the right cable or adapter for two devices, the Connector Identifier works out which port
you have, and the Video Bandwidth Calculator checks whether a given HDMI or DisplayPort version (and
cable) can carry the resolution and refresh rate you want.
Cable Selector Guide
Choose your source device and your display, and the guide shows the recommended cable, adapter,
or converter — with caveats like audio not crossing DVI.
Open the Guide
Connector Identifier
Answer a few questions about your connector's shape and pins and we'll identify it —
HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, USB-C, VGA, and more — with a picture and where to learn more.
Identify a Connector
Video Bandwidth Calculator
Enter a resolution, refresh rate, and color depth to estimate the required data rate and see
which HDMI/DisplayPort versions and cables support it, with or without DSC.

Step-by-step guides
Also useful: the Connector Compatibility Matrix
for an at-a-glance grid of what connects to what, and the
Troubleshooting guide when a
connection isn't working.
