BlueRigger HDMI to DVI Cable 6FT vs Gigabit Micro USB PoE Splitter 5V 2.4A — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

BlueRigger HDMI to DVI Cable 6FT is our pick.

For most Raspberry Pi, console, and salvaged-monitor setups in 2026, the BlueRigger HDMI-to-DVI cable is the better buy because it works standalone, while the REVOTECH PoE splitter needs an 802.3af switch or injector you must supply separately and caps at 5V/2.4A (12W) — below the Raspberry Pi 4's official 5V/3A (15W) supply. They are not substitutes; the cable solves a display problem for everyone, the splitter solves a cabling problem for people who already built a PoE network.

Buy the BlueRigger HDMI to DVI Cable if you are putting a Pi, Mac mini, PS5/PS4, Xbox, or Roku onto a DVI-D monitor at 1080p and want a plug-and-play fix with a lifetime warranty. Buy the REVOTECH Gigabit Micro USB PoE Splitter if you already run an 802.3af PoE switch or injector and want to drop a headless Micro-USB device — Pi 4, Google WiFi, Dropcam — somewhere there is no wall outlet, and your load stays under 12W.
