Tripp Lite DisplayPort to VGA Video Adapter, DP to VGA Video Converter
Modern desktop cards and work laptops drop older video ports, but VGA monitors and ceiling projectors often stay in service for years. This adapter bridges the two. It converts the digital output signal from the source into an analog feed the legacy display can show, with no extra software to install.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.
- Connects a VGA monitor to a computer with a DisplayPort output
- Supports PC video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 & HD resolutions up to 1080p
- Ideal for use with graphics cards such as AMD Eyefinity that do not output Dual Mode (DP++) signals
- Converts both single-mode & dual-mode (DP++) DisplayPort output
- Plug & play—no drivers or setup needed
How this one is built
Active signal conversion
The built-in chip actively translates the signal rather than relying on the computer to do the work. It operates with graphics cards that output standard DisplayPort feeds as well as dual-mode cards, matching the right timing for the monitor.
Legacy screen support
Older displays and conference room projectors continue to handle spreadsheets, slide decks, and daily workstation tasks. Plugging this adapter between the tower and the existing video run keeps that equipment working without replacing functional hardware.
Multi-display setups
Workstations running several monitors from dedicated graphics cards often run out of legacy connections. Because this unit works without requiring dual-mode output, it fits into multi-screen configurations where standard passive adapters fail to bring up a picture.
Molded connector housing
The compact housing sits directly behind the tower or laptop without hogging neighboring ports. Strain relief built into the short cable run protects the internal wiring from bending when the machine gets pushed back against an office wall.

These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
