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 adapter connects a video source that supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) to a VGA monitor or projector.

Typical Applications

  • Show the same 1080p video on your laptop and a second monitor.
  • Use a second monitor as your primary screen.
  • Extend video to a second monitor.
  • Share video in a conference room, classroom or auditorium.
  • Make a MacBook or Chromebook compatible with a VGA monitor.

Display High-Definition Video on a VGA Monitor

Connect your VGA monitor cable to the adapter to enjoy high-definition video.

  • Video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including 1080p
  • 24-bit Deep Color (8 bits per channel)
  • USB 3.1 Gen 1 transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps
  • Supports USB DisplayPort Alternate Mode

Simplify Travel with a Bus-Powered VGA Adapter

Bring this adapter with you for compatibility with a VGA monitor in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments. It’s bus-powered, so you don’t have to travel with an external power supply.

  • With a footprint similar in size to a credit card, this portable adapter fits almost anywhere.
  • Lightweight, streamlined design doesn’t add weight to your load.
  • Built-in cable eliminates the chance of losing or forgetting the USB-C cord.
  • Plug-and-play operation means you don’t need software or drivers.

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 provides a fast connection to a USB-C port the first time, every time. The right-angle design relieves strain on the cable and allows easier connection in areas with limited clearance.
