How to use

Plug the USB-C connector into a compatible host device that supports video output over USB-C. Connect a VGA cable from the adapter's VGA female port to the monitor or projector. Ensure the display input is set to the VGA source on the external monitor or projector. Drivers may be required depending on the host operating system; install any necessary drivers provided by the system or the manufacturer to enable full functionality.

Recommendations

Use a good-quality VGA cable for the best image quality and keep the cable length between the adapter and the display as short as practical to minimise signal degradation. For consistent results, verify that your device supports video output via USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) and update system drivers if the display is not detected.
