Video cable adapter Axagon RVD-VGN DisplayPort to VGA 0.16 m

AXAGON RVD-VGN is an active DisplayPort to VGA adapter (0.16 m) designed to connect a computer or other device with a DisplayPort output to an older VGA monitor, TV or projector. The compact hardware converter carries a digital DP 1.1a signal to an analog D-Sub 15-pin VGA output and supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz without driver installation.

Advantages

The adapter performs one-way conversion from DisplayPort (male) to VGA (female) using an internal converter chip, so no software or drivers are required. It draws power from the DisplayPort input, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The unit is lightweight and compact (approx. 42 x 37 x 16 mm, cable length ~16 cm, weight 31 g) and is RoHS compliant.

Suitable for

• Connecting a modern computer, laptop or graphics device with DisplayPort output to an older VGA monitor
• Connecting DisplayPort-equipped notebooks or mini-PCs to projectors or classroom/meeting-room displays with VGA input
• Temporary setups where no driver installation is possible or desired

How to use

Plug the DisplayPort (male) connector of the AXAGON RVD-VGN into the DisplayPort output of your computer or device. Connect a VGA cable from the adapter's D-Sub 15-pin (female) connector to the VGA input of the monitor, TV or projector. The adapter is plug-and-play; the conversion is hardware-based and should work immediately without installing drivers. Configure display mode (mirror/extend) and resolution in your operating system display settings as needed.

Recommendations

Use the adapter in one direction only (DisplayPort to VGA). Image quality and available resolutions depend on the capabilities of the connected display and the graphics output. For the best results set the display resolution to the monitor's native value and ensure the DisplayPort source supports the required output mode.
