Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable

This six-foot cable connects a Mini DisplayPort source directly to a VGA display without a separate adapter. It suits laptop owners, MacBook users and anyone linking legacy projectors or monitors to modern ports. The male-to-male design removes the need for an extra cable in the chain.

Integrated active conversion and wide compatibility

A Mini DisplayPort 1.1a compliant receiver handles 5.4Gbps bandwidth while an integrated triple 10-bit 162 MHz video DAC produces the analog VGA signal. The cable draws power from the source port and works with PC and Mac systems including Apple Thunderbolt and mini DisplayPort products. White jacket and moulded strain reliefs complete the build.

Low power draw and supported resolutions

Active consumption is 400mW with a 15mW standby mode triggered by sink detection. The link supports up to 1080p and 1920x1200 reduced blanking video resolution for everyday office and presentation use. It is not suited for buyers who need higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond the stated limits.

Questions about this item

What resolution does the Mini DisplayPort 1.1a link cap at in practice?

The cable supports up to 1080p or 1920x1200 reduced blanking resolution via the integrated 162 MHz video DAC.

What physical ports must my devices have for this cable to fit?

You need a Mini DisplayPort source and a VGA display, both with male connectors on this 6 ft cable.

How is it installed and what step do people get wrong?

Plug the Mini DisplayPort end into the source and the VGA end into the monitor; it draws power from the Mini DisplayPort so no external adapter is needed.
