Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter

This active converter connects a VGA monitor, projector or TV to a Mini DisplayPort-equipped Mac or PC. It supports PC resolutions up to 1920x1200 and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p. No software or drivers are required for operation. The white adapter is compatible with Intel Thunderbolt 1 and 2 ports.

Build and connectors

The unit measures 7.1" x 1.8" x .6" and weighs 1.1 oz, making it lightweight for travel. A 4.7" cable tail links the Mini DisplayPort male plug to the VGA female port, reducing strain on the host socket. The active circuitry ensures reliable signal conversion without external power.

Practical limits

Maximum analog output is capped at 1920x1200, so higher-resolution displays will downscale. The adapter carries video only; audio must be routed separately. It cannot convert a VGA source to a Mini DisplayPort input, and it does not support DisplayPort 1.2 or later features.

  • Active converter supports 1920x1200 resolution
