DVI-I to VGA adapter

The StarTech.com DVIVGAFM converts a DVI-I female port to a VGA male plug, letting you connect a DVI-I display to a graphics card with a VGA output. Nickel-plated contacts and moulded thumbscrews give a secure, low-resistance link for analogue video signals.

Analogue signal integrity

Because the adapter passes only the analogue pins of the DVI-I interface, image quality depends on the source card's DAC and the cable length you add. No active circuitry means there is no latency or power draw, so the link behaves exactly like a native VGA connection under any sustained load.

DVI-I analogue-only limit

The 29-pin DVI-I connector carries both digital and analogue signals, but this adapter routes only the 15 analogue pins to the high-density D-Sub plug. Digital-only DVI-D sources or displays cannot work through it, and resolutions are bounded by the VGA standard's analogue bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter consume extra power or generate heat when left connected all day?

No, it is a passive cable adapter with no electronics, so it draws no power and produces no heat during continuous use.

What port must my computer already provide for this adapter to work?

Your computer needs a VGA (15-pin high-density D-Sub) output port to plug the adapter's male VGA connector into.

Will the nickel-plated thumbscrew connectors mate reliably with older DVI-I monitors that have 29-pin sockets?

Yes, the DVI-I female end has the full 29-pin layout and thumbscrews, so it fits legacy DVI-I displays securely.
