Versatile 2-in-1 video adapter

The StarTech USB32HDVGA connects a USB 3.0 Type-A port to one HDMI and one VGA display. It uses a Silicon Motion SM768 chipset to add external graphics capability to laptops or desktops that lack native video outputs. The active adapter supports 7.1 channel audio over HDMI while VGA carries video only. A short 4.3 in cable keeps the dongle close to the host device.

Simple single-cable expansion

One USB 3.0 connection drives two monitors simultaneously in mirror or extended desktop modes. HDMI delivers up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz and VGA reaches 1920x1080 at 60 Hz, covering modern UHD panels and legacy projectors alike. The compact 4.13 x 1.70 x .55 in housing fits beside other ports without blocking them. No external power supply is required because the adapter draws power from the USB bus.

Cool, silent operation

The low-power SM768 controller runs passively so the adapter produces no fan noise and adds minimal heat to a workstation. USB 3.0 compliance ensures stable throughput for 4K 30 Hz content without saturating the bus. HDMI 1.4 signalling and VGA output remain within specification during extended use. The aluminium-coloured black enclosure aids passive dissipation in typical office environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 4K 30 Hz HDMI output stay stable during long sessions?

The adapter uses a Silicon Motion SM768 chipset and draws power from the USB 3.0 port, so thermal limits depend on your host laptop’s cooling rather than the dongle itself.

Does the adapter get noisy or hot when driving two monitors all day?

It has no fan and a compact 0.55 x 4.13 x 1.70 in enclosure; warmth is normal but audible noise is not expected under typical office workloads.

What host port and cables must I already have to use both outputs?

You need a free USB 3.0 Type-A port on the computer, plus an HDMI cable for the 4K display and a VGA cable for the 1080p display.
