ATEN VC925 DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Overview
The ATEN VC925 is a passive-form DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter that bridges DP 1.2 sources to legacy VGA displays. It presents a single DisplayPort Male (white connector) on the source side and terminates in a VGA Female output — the straightforward solution when connecting a modern workstation, KVM switch output, or graphics card with a DisplayPort port to an older VGA monitor, projector, or display without replacing the existing infrastructure. The VC925 is compliant with DisplayPort 1.2, meaning it handles the resolutions and signaling supported under that standard without requiring driver installation or external power.
Compatibility
Designed for use with any DisplayPort 1.2-compliant source device — including ATEN KVM switches and matrix switches that expose a DP output, desktop workstations, and laptops with full-size DisplayPort ports. Works with standard VGA displays, analog monitors, and projectors with a DB-15 VGA input. Not compatible with mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt sources without a separate mini-DP-to-DP cable. Verify your DP source supports analog output conversion via active or passive adapter — some GPUs and display controllers require an active adapter to drive VGA; confirm your hardware's compatibility before deploying.
Installation Notes
Operating humidity range is 0–80% RH non-condensing — suitable for standard indoor rack rooms and control environments, but not for high-humidity or unconditioned spaces. No external power required. Plug the DP Male end into the source port and connect the VGA display directly; no tools or screws needed. Sold in carton lots of 40 units, making bulk deployment across a rack row or multi-station environment straightforward to provision in a single order.
