ALOGIC Elements Series DisplayPort to VGA Cable, Male to Male, 2m

The ALOGIC Elements Series DisplayPort to VGA cable is designed to provide a reliable and cost-effective connection between modern computers equipped with DisplayPort outputs and legacy VGA monitors or projectors. This 2-meter cable is engineered for both home and commercial environments, ensuring consistent signal transmission for office, educational, or personal setups.

Advantages

This cable features a low-profile connector design and high-flexibility cabling, making it an ideal solution for installations where space is restricted, such as behind wall-mounted displays or within crowded equipment racks. The robust ABS connectors are built to withstand high-traffic use, and the integrated latching mechanism ensures the cable remains securely connected to the source device. By allowing the continued use of older VGA displays with newer hardware, this cable offers a practical and sustainable connectivity solution.

Suitable for

• Connecting DisplayPort-enabled computers to VGA monitors
• Linking laptops or desktops to VGA projectors for presentations
• Extending the life of legacy display hardware in office or home environments
• Installations in tight spaces requiring high cable flexibility

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for digital-to-digital connections, such as connecting a DisplayPort source to an HDMI or DVI display, as it is specifically designed for analog VGA signals. It will not support resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200, so it is not recommended for high-definition displays requiring 4K or higher resolution output.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Connector 1: DisplayPort (Male)
• Connector 2: VGA (D-Sub) (Male)
• Maximum resolution: 1920 x 1200
• Cable gauge: 32AWG
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, insert the DisplayPort connector into the output port of your computer or graphics card until the latch clicks into place. Connect the VGA end to the input port of your monitor or projector and tighten the thumbscrews to ensure a stable connection. Once both ends are connected, your computer should automatically detect the display, allowing you to configure your screen settings through your operating system's display menu.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your source device has a DisplayPort output and your display has a VGA input.
• Ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup requirements.
• Check that your display resolution does not exceed 1920 x 1200.

Usage recommendations: To maintain signal integrity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on the cord. When disconnecting, always press the release button on the DisplayPort connector to disengage the latch before pulling the plug from the port.
