Connect legacy VGA to modern HDMI

This active adapter cable converts a VGA output from a desktop or laptop into an HDMI signal for a monitor, TV or projector. It supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz and carries 7.1 channel audio over HDMI when used with a Windows computer. The 6.56 ft male-to-male cable includes a USB Type-A plug for power and audio. No extra cords are required.

Check ports and power before ordering

Your source device must provide a VGA (15 pin high-density D-Sub) output and a spare USB Type-A port to power the adapter. The display needs an HDMI (19 pin) input. Because the adapter is active, it draws power from the USB connection; a port that cannot supply sufficient current may cause unstable operation. The cable is plug-and-play with no driver installation needed.

Ideal for single-screen upgrades

This suits users who want to connect an older VGA-only computer to a modern HDMI display for presentations, extended desktop or media playback at 1080p. It is not for buyers who need higher resolutions such as 1440p or 4K, or who require a passive cable without external power. Users without an available USB port on the source device should look at a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the package include only the adapter cable or do I need a separate USB power supply?

The box contains the single active adapter cable with integrated VGA, USB Type-A and HDMI connectors. No external power brick is required because the cable draws power from the USB port.

My source only outputs 1920x1080 at 60 Hz — is this cable the right choice or should I look for a higher-spec model?

The adapter supports up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz over HDMI 1.4, matching your source exactly, so this model is sufficient.

When I plug this into a Windows laptop, will I get 7.1 channel sound through the HDMI connection without extra drivers?

Yes, the USB audio function is plug-and-play on Windows and delivers 7.1 channel audio alongside the video over the HDMI link.
