FAQs

Does this cable carry audio?

No, the VGA standard is video-only. You will need to use your computer's audio output or separate speakers for sound.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this is a plug-and-play device that requires no additional drivers or software.

Can I use this with a Thunderbolt 3 port?

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with USB-C ports that support Thunderbolt 3.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The adapter supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixels.

Is this an active or passive adapter?

This is an active adapter, meaning it contains a chipset to convert the digital signal from the USB-C source to the analog VGA signal.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 1 meter (3.3 feet) long.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on the VGA monitor.

Verify that your host USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode) and ensure the cable is firmly connected at both ends.

Resolution is not sharp or looks distorted.

Adjust the display settings in your operating system to match the native resolution of your VGA monitor (up to 1920x1200).

No sound is coming from the monitor speakers.

VGA is an analog-only video standard and does not support audio transmission. You must connect an external audio cable from your computer to your display or speakers.
