How to use

Connect the USB Type-C end of the cable to the device with a compatible USB-C video output. Connect the VGA end to the VGA input of the display or projector. Select the appropriate input on the display and configure video output settings on the source device if necessary (display mirroring, extended desktop, resolution). Verify that the source device supports video output over USB-C; if required, enable the alternate mode or display output in the device settings.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable with devices that explicitly support USB Type-C video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode or equivalent). Keep the cable routed to avoid sharp bends and avoid excessive tension on connectors. When using with projectors or older monitors, select a compatible resolution in the source device settings to ensure a stable image.
