Cables Direct USB C to VGA 1080P @ 60HZ 1 m USB Type-C VGA (D-Sub) Black

This specific model features a straight black connector design. It is a direct cable solution, meaning no additional adaptors are required to link your USB-C device to a VGA display. The cable length is 1 metre, offering flexibility for most desk setups without excessive slack.

Seamless Integration for USB-C Devices

This cable connects directly to laptops and tablets with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Because it is a direct wired connection, you avoid the latency associated with wireless display technologies. It is ideal for users who need a reliable link to older monitors or projectors that only feature VGA inputs.

Full HD Visual Clarity

The cable supports video output at 1080p resolution with a refresh rate of 60Hz. This ensures smooth motion for standard office tasks and video playback. However, it does not support 4K resolutions, which is a limitation of the VGA standard itself. Buyers should verify their source device can output 1080p via USB-C.

Compact and Reversible Design

USB Type-C connectors are symmetrical and reversible. This makes plugging in the cable straightforward, regardless of orientation. The 1-metre length is practical for connecting a laptop to a monitor on the same desk. It is not intended for long-distance connections across a room.

Durable Straight Connectors

Both connectors feature a straight form factor. This design minimises strain on the port when the cable is plugged in horizontally. It is particularly useful in tight spaces behind monitors or on docking stations. The black finish helps maintain a clean aesthetic with standard office hardware.
