Connect Your Laptop’s USB-C Port to a VGA Monitor Wherever You Go

Newer tablets, laptops, Chromebook and MacBook notebooks, desktop computers and even smartphones often have only USB Type-C ports for connection to peripherals. Using a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, this Tripp Lite external video adapter connects a video source that supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) to a VGA monitor or projector.

Typical Applications

• Show the same video on your USB-C laptop and a VGA monitor.
• Use a VGA monitor as your primary screen.
• Extend video to a second monitor.
• Share video in a conference room, classroom or auditorium setting.
• Make a MacBook or Chromebook compatible with a VGA monitor.

Display High-Definition Video on a VGA Monitor

Connect your VGA cable to the adapter to enjoy high-definition video. This adapter supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

• Video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (including 1080p)
• 36-bit Deep Color (12 bits per channel)
• VGA transfer rates up to 6.75 Gbps (2.25 Gbps per channel)
• USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps

Take Advantage of Easy USB-C Connection

Unlike traditional USB connectors that can be attached only one way, USB-C connectors are reversible by design. The adapter’s built-in USB-C cable plugs into your computer’s USB-C port in either direction, providing a fast and easy connection the first time, every time.
