Description

Black Box VA-USBC31-VGA-003 USB-C to VGA Adapter

Overview

The Black Box VA-USBC31-VGA-003 adapter bridges the gap between modern USB-C equipped devices and legacy VGA displays. This adapter enables you to connect laptops, tablets, or smartphones with a USB-C port to monitors, projectors, or televisions that utilize a VGA input. It's designed for scenarios where you need to present content from a newer device on older display infrastructure, such as in conference rooms, classrooms, or for extending a workstation's display. The VA-USBC31-VGA-003 supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, ensuring a direct video signal pass-through.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any host device featuring a USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This includes a wide range of modern laptops from manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple MacBook, and Microsoft Surface, as well as many Android tablets and smartphones. The output is a standard VGA connector, making it compatible with virtually any display, projector, or video switch that accepts VGA input.

Installation Notes

Plug-and-play installation requires no drivers or software. Simply connect the USB-C end to your source device and a standard VGA cable (sold separately) from the adapter to your display. Ensure your source device's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode for video output. The adapter draws power directly from the USB-C port, requiring no external power source.
