Description

StarTech MDP2VGAMM6 Active Mini DisplayPort to VGA Cable

Overview

The StarTech MDP2VGAMM6 is a 6-foot active adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between modern Mini DisplayPort sources and legacy VGA displays. This is critical for integrating newer laptops, workstations, or mini PCs into existing AV infrastructure that relies on VGA projectors, monitors, or KVM switches. The active conversion ensures signal integrity for resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, preventing the signal degradation common with passive adapters when converting digital DisplayPort signals to analog VGA.

Compatibility

This adapter cable is compatible with any device featuring a Mini DisplayPort output, including most modern laptops and desktop computers running Windows, macOS, or Linux. It specifically supports the Mini DisplayPort 1.2 standard, including HBR2 (High Bit Rate 2) for the specified resolutions. It connects to standard VGA input ports found on monitors, projectors, and video distribution systems.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range for this adapter is 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F), suitable for most indoor office or commercial environments. Storage temperature should be kept between 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F). The device requires no external power source, drawing minimal power from the Mini DisplayPort connection. Ensure the connection is secure at both ends to maintain signal quality.
