Microconnect DP-VGA-MM-050 video cable adapter 0.5 m DisplayPort VGA (D-Sub) Black

The Microconnect DP-VGA-MM-050 is a 0.5 m video cable adapter that converts a DisplayPort output to a VGA (D-Sub) input. It is designed to transmit HD video signals from a computer or other DisplayPort source to a VGA-compatible monitor or projector. The cable has a 6 mm diameter and a compact, lightweight design, weighing approximately 10 g, and complies with RoHS environmental standards.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward, cable-based conversion from DisplayPort to VGA without external power. Its short 0.5 m length and 6 mm cable diameter reduce clutter and suit close-proximity connections. The lightweight construction and black finish make it easy to install and inconspicuous in desktop setups. RoHS compliance ensures it meets common environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or laptop with DisplayPort to a VGA monitor
• Connecting DisplayPort sources to projectors with VGA inputs
• Temporary or fixed workstation setups where short cable length is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Connector 1: DisplayPort
• Connector 2: VGA (D-Sub)
• Cable diameter: 6 mm
• Weight: 0.01 kg
• Colour: Black
• RoHS compliant

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort connector to the DisplayPort output on your computer or other source device, and plug the VGA (D-Sub) connector into the VGA input of the monitor or projector. Once both ends are connected, select the appropriate input on the display. No external power or drivers are usually required; if the display does not show an image, check source settings and cable seating.

Recommendations

Use this short 0.5 m adapter for close-range connections—avoid stretching the cable and route it to prevent sharp bends. For longer distances or active conversion needs (e.g., converting DP++ dual-mode signals that require active conversion), consider a longer or active adapter if you encounter compatibility issues.
