Connect VGA monitors to DisplayPort sources

This active adapter lets you attach a VGA display to a computer with a Mini DisplayPort output. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 1080p HDTV modes. The 10 inch cable suits desktop, laptop and Ultrabook setups such as the EliteBook Folio 9470m. No software or drivers are required for operation.

Sustained signal conversion without degradation

The active circuitry maintains a stable analog signal during long work sessions and video conferencing. It handles office productivity applications and extended display use without flicker or resolution drop. The converter draws power directly from the DisplayPort connection. Performance remains consistent across supported resolutions up to 1920x1200.

Plug-and-play installation

Simply connect the Mini DisplayPort plug to the source and the VGA cable to the adapter's female port. The lightweight 0.15 unit adds minimal strain on the port. A common issue is attempting to use a passive cable instead of this active adapter, which will not convert the digital signal. Ensure the source outputs a DisplayPort signal, not an alternative video standard.

Not for digital-only displays

Buyers who need to connect a digital-only monitor such as DVI-D, HDMI or DisplayPort input displays cannot use this analog converter. It also does not support daisy-chaining multiple VGA monitors from a single DisplayPort output. Systems that lack a DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source are incompatible.

Questions about this item

Does the DP2VGA adapter draw enough power from the DisplayPort to run warm during all-day use?

The active adapter is powered directly from the DisplayPort connection and has no external supply, so heat stays minimal during continuous operation.

What port must my computer already have for this DP2VGA adapter to work?

Your computer needs a Mini DisplayPort output; the adapter plugs into that port and provides a VGA female connector for the monitor cable.

Will the DP2VGA adapter drive a legacy 1920x1200 VGA monitor from an older EliteBook Folio 9470m?

Yes, the adapter supports up to 1920x1200 analog resolution and is listed as compatible with that EliteBook model.
