C2G 20cm DisplayPort Plug to VGA Socket Active Adapter Cable 84323

This 20 cm adapter cable converts a DisplayPort output into a VGA female port, letting you connect a modern laptop or desktop to an older VGA monitor or projector without replacing the display. The active converter handles the digital-to-analog signal conversion inside the cable, so no external power supply is needed.

Highlights

• DisplayPort male to VGA female
• Active converter chipset supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) and 1080p
• Bus-powered from DisplayPort source – no external power adapter required
• Compact 20 cm length for tidy connections
• Foil and braid shielding with nickel-plated connectors

In daily use

Plug the DisplayPort end into your computer and connect a standard VGA cable from the female port to the display. The adapter handles EDID and signal conversion automatically, so the monitor is detected as a VGA device. Because VGA is analog, audio is not transmitted; use a separate audio cable if needed.
