Technical Overview
This DisplayPort to VGA cable utilizes active conversion circuitry to translate digital DisplayPort signals to analog VGA output, ensuring compatibility across different display technologies. The cable supports DisplayPort 1.2 specifications and delivers stable video transmission for business and professional applications.
The HD-15 male connector on the VGA end provides standard 15-pin connectivity, while the DisplayPort male connector features the complete 20-pin configuration for full DisplayPort functionality. The 3-foot length offers sufficient reach for most desktop setups without cable clutter.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
These cables bridge the gap between modern digital video outputs and traditional analog displays, extending the useful life of existing monitor investments. The active conversion ensures reliable signal transmission without degradation, maintaining image quality across the supported resolution range.
Bulk Packaging Efficiency
The 5-pack configuration provides cost-effective stocking for IT departments, MSPs, and businesses requiring multiple cable deployments. Bulk packaging reduces per-unit costs while ensuring consistent quality across all cables in the pack.
- Reduces procurement overhead
- Ensures cable consistency
- Ideal for multi-workstation deployments
Active Signal Conversion
Unlike passive adapters, the integrated active conversion circuitry maintains signal integrity during the digital-to-analog transition. This results in stable video output without flickering or signal loss at supported resolutions.
- Prevents signal degradation
- Supports higher resolutions
- Reduces compatibility issues
Deployment / Use Cases
These DisplayPort to VGA cables serve critical connectivity needs in mixed-technology environments where modern computers must interface with legacy display equipment. They're particularly valuable in office settings undergoing phased technology upgrades.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting newer laptops and desktops to conference room projectors, integrating modern workstations with existing multi-monitor setups that include older VGA displays, and providing backup connectivity options for IT support teams.
Office Technology Migration
During phased computer upgrades, these cables allow new DisplayPort-equipped systems to continue using existing VGA monitors, spreading display replacement costs over time while maintaining productivity.
IT Support and Spare Inventory
The 5-pack format provides immediate spares for help desk teams, reducing downtime when users need to connect to different display types or when primary cables fail.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable black exterior that resists visible wear in high-traffic office environments. With a total length of 3 feet (0.91 meters), it provides sufficient reach for typical desk arrangements while minimizing excess cable that can create clutter. The 2.20-pound total weight for the 5-pack indicates robust construction suitable for repeated deployment and storage.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.20 lb (997.90 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
Is this an active or passive DisplayPort to VGA cable?
This is an active conversion cable with built-in circuitry that converts digital DisplayPort signals to analog VGA output. Active conversion provides more reliable performance than passive adapters, especially at higher resolutions like the supported 1920x1200 WUXGA.
What devices are compatible with this cable?
The cable connects DisplayPort 1.2 output sources to VGA input displays. It's compatible with computers, laptops, and devices featuring DisplayPort outputs and monitors, projectors, or displays with VGA inputs. The product specifically supports video devices and monitors as indicated in the technical specifications.
Why choose a 5-pack configuration instead of single cables?
The 5-pack offers significant value for IT departments, managed service providers, and businesses deploying multiple workstations. Bulk packaging reduces per-cable costs, ensures consistency across deployments, and provides immediate spares for maintenance and emergency replacement scenarios.
What is the cable length and is it sufficient for typical setups?
Each cable measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length. This provides adequate reach for most desktop computer-to-monitor connections while minimizing excess cable that can create clutter. The length accommodates typical desk arrangements without requiring cable management extensions.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
AddOn provides a 3 Year Lifetime limited warranty for this cable pack. This warranty period offers substantial protection for business investments in connectivity solutions, covering manufacturing defects and ensuring reliable performance throughout the warranty duration.
What refresh rate or brightness details are available?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
What input or connectivity options are listed?
Connectivity options include DisplayPort Digital Audio/Video - Male, helping the product integrate into common office or home setups.
Does the display support VESA mounting or adjustment features?
Display-oriented products are best judged through screen, connectivity, and installation specifications. Those facts help buyers confirm visual fit, mounting flexibility, and deployment suitability more clearly than generic summary text.
