USB-C to VGA adapter cable

Plugable's USB-C to VGA cable connects a laptop, tablet or desktop that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode to an older VGA monitor or projector. The 1.8 metre black cable carries video directly from the graphics processor so the external display behaves like a natively attached screen. Plug-and-play operation works on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux without driver installation.

Resolution and compatibility headroom

The adapter drives VGA resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, covering common office and presentation displays. It requires a USB-C port that implements DisplayPort Alternate Mode; many current phones and Android tablets lack this capability and will not work. Tested systems include 2015 to 2017 MacBook and MacBook Pro models, Dell XPS 13 and 15, HP Spectre x360, Lenovo P50 and P70, Gigabyte Alpine Ridge motherboards and 2018 iPad Pro.

Upgrade from legacy video adapters

The single cable replaces separate USB-C dongles and VGA cables, reducing cable clutter and potential failure points. The jump is worthwhile when a host already provides DisplayPort Alternate Mode and a VGA display must be driven without adding a dock. It does not suit users whose USB-C ports carry data only or who need digital outputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort.

Questions about this item

Will the 1920x1200@60Hz signal work reliably with my older VGA monitor?

The cable drives VGA displays up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz using the host's DisplayPort Alternate Mode pipeline, so legacy monitors that accept that resolution will operate as a native display.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 1920x1200@60Hz after I plug it in?

Open your operating system's display settings and confirm the external monitor is detected at 1920x1200 resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate; the image should appear instantly without driver installation.

Does the 1.8m cable include any adapters or do I need a separate power supply?

The package contains only the USB-C to VGA cable itself; no extra adapters or external power supply are required because video power comes directly from the host port.
