Video cable adapter 2-Power CAB0052A – 2 m, HDMI Type A (Standard) to VGA (D-Sub), Black

2-Power CAB0052A is a 2-meter video cable adapter that converts HDMI Type A (Standard) digital output to VGA (D-Sub) analog input. The single-unit cable enables a direct connection from HDMI source devices such as laptops, media players or set-top boxes to VGA displays, monitors or projectors that accept analog RGB video. The cable is black and designed for straightforward signal linking where no active format conversion beyond basic HDMI-to-VGA scaling is required.

Advantages

The adapter provides a simple single-cable solution to connect modern HDMI sources to legacy VGA equipment without requiring a separate converter box. Its 2 m length offers flexibility in typical desktop, meeting room or classroom setups. The cable’s fixed HDMI-to-VGA wiring reduces installation complexity and frees up desk space compared with separate adapters and external power supplies.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or PCs with HDMI output to older VGA monitors
• Linking media players or set-top boxes to VGA projectors in meeting rooms or classrooms
• Temporary or permanent installations where VGA displays are still in use

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Input connector: HDMI Type A (Standard) - digital output from source devices
• Output connector: VGA (D-Sub) - analog input to display devices
• Color: Black
• Signal direction: HDMI source to VGA display (unidirectional)

How to use

Connect the HDMI Type A end to the HDMI output of your source device and insert the VGA (D-Sub) connector into the VGA input of the display or projector. Ensure both devices are powered on and set the display input to the VGA port. If the display does not automatically detect the signal, select the correct input manually via the monitor or projector menu. Adjust the source device’s display resolution to a VGA-compatible resolution if necessary for optimal image quality.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable in setups where the HDMI source provides standard video timing compatible with VGA displays. Avoid stretching or sharply bending the cable near the connectors. If audio is required, route audio separately because VGA carries video only. In environments with long cable runs or where active format conversion is needed, consider a powered HDMI-to-VGA converter with signal amplification and audio extraction.
