Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable

This active converter cable connects a Mini DisplayPort source to a VGA display using a fixed 3 ft black cable. It is built for users who need a compact link between a modern laptop or desktop and a legacy monitor or projector. The male-to-male design plugs directly without extra adapters. It suits office and education setups where space is limited.

1920 x 1200 maximum resolution

The cable supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, handling standard business and classroom content comfortably. Higher resolutions or refresh rates beyond this figure are not supported. Audio is not carried, so a separate connection is required for sound. The active chipset ensures reliable signal conversion at the rated resolution.

Low-profile active conversion

The active converter draws power from the Mini DisplayPort source and operates without an external supply. Its short length keeps the workstation tidy and reduces cable strain on both ports. No fan or moving parts are present, so operation is silent. The 20-pin Mini DisplayPort and 15-pin high-density D-Sub connectors provide a secure fit.
