DisplayPort 1.2a to VGA Adapter

This active adapter converts a DisplayPort 1.2a output to a VGA input for video display. It enables connection between modern graphics sources and legacy monitors or projectors. The unit is supplied in black and listed as new condition.

Suited for legacy display connections
