StarTech CDP2MDPVGA USB-C Multiport Video Adapter
Overview
The StarTech CDP2MDPVGA is a compact, bus-powered adapter designed to bridge USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode sources to either Mini DisplayPort or VGA displays. It's ideal for connecting a laptop or workstation to an external monitor in environments where direct display output ports are limited or incompatible. The adapter supports 4K resolution on the Mini DisplayPort output and 1080p on VGA, providing flexibility for various display setups. Its aluminum construction and small form factor make it suitable for mobile professionals and fixed workstation deployments needing reliable video extension. The CDP2MDPVGA model integrates both video outputs into a single unit, simplifying cable management.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with any USB-C device supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This includes most modern laptops, ultrabooks, and workstations from manufacturers such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Apple MacBook. It supports Mini DisplayPort 1.2 and VGA standards for video output. The Realtek RTD2142S-CG chipset ensures broad compatibility with operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is designed to work with monitors, projectors, and displays featuring Mini DisplayPort or VGA input connectors.
Installation Notes
The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) and can be stored between -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F). It requires a humidity level between 5% and 90% RH. The integrated cable is 6.0 inches (152.4 mm) long. The device itself measures 2.4 inches (62.0 mm) in length, 1.7 inches (4.4 cm) in width, and 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) in height, weighing only 1.8 oz (51.0 g).
