Eaton P581-006-VGA-V2 Tripp Lite DisplayPort 1 2 to VGA Active Adapter Cable 6 ft
The Eaton Tripp Lite P581-006-VGA-V2 is a 6 ft active DisplayPort 1.2 to VGA adapter cable designed to connect a DisplayPort computer to a VGA monitor, projector, or television. The integrated signal converter eliminates the need for a separate DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter.
The cable supports computer video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and HD video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p). It converts both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output, making it suitable for DisplayPort graphics sources that require active VGA conversion.
Key Features
- Active DisplayPort 1.2 to VGA adapter cable
- 6 ft (1.83 m) cable length
- Latching DisplayPort male connector
- Low-profile HD15 male VGA connector
- Supports up to 1920 x 1200 computer resolution and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) HD video
DisplayPort to VGA Connectivity
The P581-006-VGA-V2 provides a direct connection between a DisplayPort source and a VGA display. Its active conversion circuitry converts the DisplayPort video signal to VGA and supports both Single-Mode and Dual-Mode (DP++) DisplayPort output.
Low-Profile VGA Connector
The HD15 VGA connector uses a low-profile design intended to fit into restricted spaces behind monitors and other displays. This can help avoid interference with nearby connections or the wall behind a display. The DisplayPort end uses a latching connector for a more secure connection.
Cable Construction
The cable has a black PVC jacket with a VW-1 rating and double shielding using foil and braid. Eaton/Tripp Lite specifies nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts and integral strain relief.
Applications
- DisplayPort computers to VGA monitors
- DisplayPort laptops and desktops to VGA projectors
- DisplayPort graphics cards to legacy VGA displays
- Conference rooms and classrooms using VGA displays
- Digital signage using compatible VGA equipment
