DisplayPort 1.2a multi-output adapter

This passive adapter converts a DisplayPort 1.2a source into three separate video interfaces: HDMI, DVI and VGA. It is built for users who need to connect a single graphics output to different display types without an active converter. The unit requires no external power and fits directly onto the source port.

Replaces single-purpose cables and active dongles

Instead of carrying separate DisplayPort-to-HDMI, DisplayPort-to-DVI and DisplayPort-to-VGA cables, this one device covers all three targets. The jump is worth it when a workstation or laptop has only one DisplayPort output but must drive legacy monitors, projectors or mixed display setups simultaneously.

Limited by passive signalling

As a passive design it relies on the source to emit dual-mode signals; it cannot convert DisplayPort++ absent on some newer GPUs. Maximum resolution and refresh rate are bound by the 1.2a link and the lowest common denominator of the attached displays, so 4K at high refresh or multi-stream transport are not supported.
