StarTech MDP2VGAW Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Overview
The StarTech MDP2VGAW is an active adapter designed to convert a Mini DisplayPort 1.2 signal to VGA output. This is crucial for connecting modern laptops, mini PCs, or docking stations equipped with Mini DisplayPort to legacy monitors, projectors, or displays that only accept VGA input. It ensures compatibility in environments where older display infrastructure must coexist with newer source devices, such as conference rooms or classrooms transitioning to new AV equipment. The MDP2VGAW model is specifically white, aiding in clean cable management within AV installations.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with any device featuring a Mini DisplayPort 1.2 output. This includes a wide range of laptops from manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Apple, as well as Intel NUCs and other small form-factor PCs. It supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 at a 60Hz refresh rate, ensuring crisp visuals for presentations and general desktop use. It is designed for single-display output only.
Installation Notes
The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and requires 40-85% non-condensing humidity. Storage temperature ranges from -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F). The compact design measures 7.1 inches (18 cm) in length and weighs only 1.0 oz (28.5 g), making it portable and unobtrusive. The integrated cable is 4.7 inches (120 mm) long.
