Thunderbolt DisplayPort to VGA Cable

This 1.8m cable connects an Apple Thunderbolt or DisplayPort output directly to a VGA monitor or projector. It is built for Mac users who need analogue video from a digital port without carrying a separate dongle. The male-to-male design means one cable does the whole job. No external power is required for the conversion.

DisplayPort Male to VGA Male Connectors

The DisplayPort plug fits the Thunderbolt port found on iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 17 inch models. The VGA plug screws into legacy displays or projectors for a secure fit. The moulded strain relief protects the joint during frequent connect and disconnect cycles. The adapter only works with full-size DisplayPort, not Mini-DVI.

1080p and 1920 x 1200 Reduced Blanking Limit

Video output tops out at 1080p or 1920 x 1200 reduced blanking, so higher-resolution panels will downscale. The analogue VGA link cannot carry audio, so a separate audio path is needed for sound. The cable is not compatible with Mini-DVI or non-Apple DisplayPort sources. Buyers needing 4K or audio over the same wire cannot use this adapter.
