UGREEN 1.5 m DisplayPort to VGA Cable, 1080p (10247)

Overview

The UGREEN 10247 is a 1.5 m active DisplayPort to VGA cable that connects a PC, workstation, dock or graphics card with a full-size DisplayPort output to an older VGA monitor or projector. It converts the digital DisplayPort signal to analogue VGA inside the cable, at up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p at 60 Hz, with no extra power or driver. It works one way only, from DisplayPort to VGA.

Is it right for you?

• Suits keeping an older VGA monitor or meeting room projector in service with a newer computer that only has DisplayPort.
• Direction is fixed: DisplayPort source to VGA display, even though both ends are male plugs. It cannot take a VGA output into a DisplayPort monitor.
• VGA is analogue video only, so sound needs a separate 3.5 mm, USB, Bluetooth or other audio path.
• The source must be full-size DisplayPort. Mini DisplayPort, USB-C, HDMI and DVI ports need a different cable.
• It tops out at 1080p or 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. It does not support 4K, HDR or higher refresh rates.

Key features

• 1.5 m long: full-size DisplayPort male to VGA/HD15 male, as one complete cable with no separate VGA lead.
• Active digital to analogue conversion built in, with no separate power connector or product-specific driver.
• Listed modes up to 1920 x 1200 and 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz.
• Two thumbscrews secure the VGA end to the monitor or projector.
• Copper conductors with multiple shielding layers and gold-plated contacts.
• Mirror or extended desktop is chosen in the computer’s display settings.

What else you need

A full-size DisplayPort video output on the computer or dock and a VGA/HD15 input on the monitor, projector or TV. The display input must be enabled and support the chosen mode. Sound needs a separate audio connection.

Installation

Plug the DisplayPort end into the computer and the VGA end into the display, then tighten the two thumbscrews finger-tight only; overtightening can damage the socket or shell. Stop using the cable if a pin is bent, a shell is loose, the jacket is cut or either connector becomes abnormally hot.

Before you buy

• One way only: it is not a reversible converter and does not convert VGA output to a DisplayPort input.
• No audio: VGA carries analogue picture only.
• No 4K, HDR or refresh rates above 1080p at 60 Hz.
• A printed maximum is a ceiling, not a forced mode: the source, graphics hardware and display must all share the resolution and refresh rate you want.
• It does not split one output across several displays or improve a weak VGA input on the display side.
• No outdoor, in-wall, plenum, direct-burial, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated.
