Eaton P137-06N-VGA Tripp Lite Keyspan Mini DisplayPort to VGA Active Adapter 6 in
The Eaton P137-06N-VGA is a 6-inch active Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter designed to connect a VGA monitor, projector, or television to a computer with a Mini DisplayPort output. It supports computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and HD resolutions up to 1080p.
Active Mini DisplayPort to VGA Conversion
The P137-06N-VGA actively converts the Mini DisplayPort video signal to analog VGA. It supports both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output, making it suitable for systems where the source does not provide a DP++ signal.
Mac and Thunderbolt Compatibility
The adapter is designed for Mac and PC systems with Mini DisplayPort output and is compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 ports on Mac computers. It provides a compact connection for legacy VGA monitors and projectors without requiring separate conversion hardware.
Key Features
- Mini DisplayPort male to HD15 VGA female active adapter
- 6 in (15.24 cm) built-in cable
- Supports up to 1920 x 1200 and 1080p video
- Converts both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output
- Plug-and-play operation with no drivers or software required
DC Supplies Product Note
The active design is the key distinction of the P137-06N-VGA: it can convert both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode DisplayPort output, making it useful with graphics hardware that does not provide DP++ signaling. For MST hub installations, Eaton specifically recommends the separate P137-06N-VGA-V2 instead.
Applications
- Mac computers with Mini DisplayPort outputs
- PCs and laptops with Mini DisplayPort
- Mac computers with Thunderbolt 1 or 2 ports
