Full HD 1080p Signal Conversion

This cable adapter converts the digital HDMI signal from your source device into an analogue VGA signal for your display. It supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz. So, you can expect clear, sharp visuals for standard office tasks, web browsing, and presentations. Because it is an active adapter, it handles the signal conversion internally.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Reliable Contact

The connectors are gold-plated. In practice, this helps to resist corrosion and ensures a stable connection between your devices. This is a practical detail for maintaining signal integrity over time. Also, the male-to-male design provides a direct link without needing extra extension cables.

Compact 1 Metre Length for Tidy Setups

The 1-metre cable length is suitable for setups where the source device is placed close to the display. This helps to reduce cable clutter on your desk or in a media centre. However, you should measure the distance between your HDMI port and VGA port to ensure this length is sufficient for your specific arrangement.

Universal Compatibility for Legacy Displays

This adapter is designed for use with any device that has a standard HDMI output. This includes desktop PCs, laptops, and some media players. It connects directly to monitors or projectors that have a VGA (D-Sub) input. Please note that this is a video-only cable; it does not transmit audio.
