USB-C to VGA Adapter

The Black Box VA-USBC31-VGA connects a USB 3.1 Type C source to a VGA display using a 15-pin HD-15 female connector. It supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 for video output. The compact black adapter measures 8 inches in length with a 0.6 inch height. This unit is designed for users adding a legacy monitor to a modern USB-C port.

Interface Constraints

Video transmission relies on the host USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode, a capability not guaranteed on every USB 3.1 Type C implementation. The adapter draws power directly from the host port without an external supply. Bandwidth is limited to the 1920 x 1200 maximum, so higher-resolution displays will downscale. Audio signals are not carried over the VGA connection.

Resolution Limit

The 1920 x 1200 ceiling is the defining specification; it determines whether the adapter matches the target display's native resolution. Buyers needing 4K, 1440p, or ultra-wide formats above this threshold must select a different solution. The fixed 8-inch cable length also restricts placement between the host device and the VGA cable.
