UNITEK Y-5118F video cable adapter 1.8 m VGA DisplayPort Black

The UNITEK Y-5118F video cable adapter 1.8 m VGA DisplayPort Black is a 1.8-meter cable that connects devices with a DisplayPort output to displays with a VGA (D-Sub) input. It enables analog VGA monitors and projectors to receive video from modern sources equipped with DisplayPort, providing a straightforward signal path for visible display output without additional converters or power supplies when used with compatible source devices.

Advantages

This adapter combines a compact, single-cable design with a moderate 1.8 m length suitable for desktop and meeting-room setups. The black jacket offers discreet integration with most AV equipment. The cable supports stable video transmission when connected between compatible DisplayPort sources and VGA displays, and its fixed connector configuration reduces connector mismatch and extra cabling needs.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector 1: VGA (D-Sub)
• Connector 2: DisplayPort
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the DisplayPort end to the source device (for example a laptop or graphics card) and plug the VGA (D-Sub) connector into the display or projector. Secure any thumbscrews on the VGA connector if available. Power on both devices and select the correct input on the display. If the source device requires it, configure the video output settings (resolution and refresh rate) to match the capabilities of the VGA display.

Recommendations

Use this cable with devices that support DisplayPort output capable of providing an analog VGA-compatible signal, or with passive adapters indicated by the source manufacturer. For best results, set the source resolution to a standard VGA-compatible mode and avoid stretching beyond the display's native resolution. Keep cable runs under recommended lengths to preserve signal quality and avoid tight bends near the connectors.
