Can this cable also be used for input in DVI and output in DP (source - DVI - cable - DP - screen)? I have an old computer with DVI output and I want to connect it to my screen with DP input. If not, is there such a cable or what other options do I have?

Accepted Answer

I'm afraid it only goes in the direction of Source -> DP -> DVI. Unfortunately, I can't test it because none of my screens have a DP input. But the datasheet, which was linked in other questions here, only shows DP as input:

Also on Roline's site (new apparently secomp international) see:
"Remark: The DisplayPort to DVI cable is only working in one direction: the DisplayPort plug has to be connected to the source device (e.g. graphic card)"
https://www.secomp-international.com/en_US/value-displayport-cable-dp-dvi-24-1-m-m-2-0-m/i/11.99.5610-10

So only source -> DP -> DVI -> screen.
