Product Description

The DisplayPort to VGA Converter is a compact and efficient adapter designed to connect devices with a DisplayPort (DP, DP++, or DisplayPort++) output to VGA-equipped monitors, projectors, or displays. Supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) or 1080p@60Hz, it delivers crisp video output for presentations, media playback, or extended desktops. Available in active and passive variants, active adapters include signal conversion chips for broader compatibility, while passive adapters require Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) sources. Featuring gold-plated connectors and multi-layer shielding, it ensures reliable signal transmission with minimal interference. Its plug-and-play design requires no drivers, making it ideal for laptops, desktops, or docking stations in home, office, or educational settings. Note: This adapter is uni-directional, converting from DisplayPort to VGA only, and does not support audio transmission as VGA is video-only.
