Description

StarTech CDP2VGASA USB-C to VGA Adapter

Overview

The StarTech CDP2VGASA is a compact adapter designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-C equipped computers and legacy VGA displays. This adapter is essential for deployments where existing monitors or projectors only feature VGA input, preventing the need for costly display replacements. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200, ensuring clear video output for presentations, surveillance monitoring, or general desktop use. The CDP2VGASA is ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, or any environment transitioning to USB-C but retaining VGA infrastructure. Its small form factor and plug-and-play operation simplify integration.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any computer featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). This includes a wide range of laptops and desktops from manufacturers such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple MacBook, and others. It functions as a video output adapter, converting the DisplayPort signal from the USB-C source to a VGA signal for display connection. It does not require drivers for operation, simplifying setup across diverse operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) and requires 25% to 85% relative humidity (non-condensing). Its cable length is 3.7 inches (95 mm), contributing to a tidy setup. The total product length is 7.3 inches (18.6 cm), with a width of 1.7 inches (4.3 cm) and a height of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The device weighs only 1.0 oz (29 g).
