Description

StarTech DP2VGA2 Active DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

Overview

The StarTech DP2VGA2 is an active adapter designed to convert a DisplayPort output from a computer or source device into a VGA signal. This is essential for connecting modern DisplayPort-equipped laptops, desktops, or workstations to older VGA-only displays, projectors, or monitors. Its active conversion ensures signal integrity, making it suitable for environments where reliable video output is critical, such as conference rooms or legacy system integration. The DP2VGA2 model supports resolutions up to 2048x1280 at 60Hz.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any device featuring a standard DisplayPort output. It is designed to interface with standard VGA monitors, projectors, and KVM switches. For surveillance systems, this means you can connect a DisplayPort-enabled NVR or server to a VGA-based video wall or monitor array, ensuring backward compatibility without signal loss.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). It requires no external power adapter, drawing power directly from the DisplayPort connection. The integrated cable is 9 inches long, with the overall product dimensions being 11.0 inches in length, 1.4 inches in width, and 0.8 inches in height. The lightweight design (1.5 oz) minimizes strain on the source device's port.
