AddOn DISPLAYPORT2VGA6F audio video converter 6 ft DisplayPort male to VGA female 1920x1200

What this cable connects

The AddOn DISPLAYPORT2VGA6F links a DisplayPort output on a computer or graphics card to a VGA monitor using a 6 ft cable with a DisplayPort male plug on one end and a 15-pin HD-15 female socket on the other. It is intended for users who need to keep an existing VGA display in service while moving to a newer DisplayPort source. The adapter handles digital audio and video from the DisplayPort side and converts it for the analogue VGA input. Buyers who require a native DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort link or an HDMI connection should look elsewhere.

Signal behaviour at the rated resolution

The cable supports high-definition resolutions up to 1920x1200 or 1080p and is described as high bandwidth for smooth signal transfer. Because the conversion is active, the link remains stable during extended sessions such as office work, video playback or static signage without the dropouts that can appear on passive dongles under sustained load. The 6 ft length provides enough slack for typical desk routing while keeping the signal path short enough to preserve quality at the maximum supported resolution.

Installation notes and common pitfalls

Connect the DisplayPort male end to the source and plug the VGA display cable into the female HD-15 socket; no external power or driver installation is required. Ensure the VGA cable is fully seated and the locking screws are tightened to avoid intermittent picture caused by a loose connection. The adapter carries video only, so separate audio cabling is needed if sound is required. The fixed 6 ft length cannot be extended without an additional active repeater, so measure the run before purchase.
