Description

StarTech DP2VGA3 Active DisplayPort to VGA Adapter

Overview

The StarTech DP2VGA3 is an active adapter designed to bridge the gap between modern DisplayPort sources and legacy VGA displays. This is critical for integrating older monitors or projectors into new workstation setups, ensuring you can leverage existing infrastructure without compromising on essential display capabilities. It's particularly useful in environments where a mix of display technologies is common, such as conference rooms or educational facilities upgrading their AV systems. The DP2VGA3 model handles resolutions up to 1920x1200 at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate, providing clear, usable video output for presentations and standard desktop use.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort output, including laptops, desktops, and graphics cards. It connects to any display or projector equipped with a standard VGA input port. The active chipset ensures signal conversion, making it suitable for DisplayPort sources that do not natively output a VGA signal. It is not limited to specific monitor brands but relies on the DisplayPort standard for input and the VGA standard for output.

Installation Notes

The adapter requires no software or drivers for installation; it is a plug-and-play device. Connect the DisplayPort end to your source device and the VGA end to your monitor or projector using a standard VGA cable (sold separately). The adapter's compact form factor and integrated cable (3.9 in / 100 mm) minimize clutter. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), and storage temperature is -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F). Operating humidity should be kept between 10% and 85% RH.
