Purpose and audience
The Tripp Lite P120-000 adapter connects a VGA monitor with a 15-pin HD-15 male cable to a DVI-I female output on a graphics card. It is intended for users who want to keep an existing analogue display while upgrading to a DVI-equipped system.
Behaviour under load
The adapter is a passive analogue device with no active circuitry, so it does not generate heat or degrade during continuous use. Signal quality remains stable for the lifetime of the connection because there are no powered components to fatigue.
Installation notes
Simply plug the DVI male end into the graphics card and attach the monitor's HD-15 cable to the female port. The only common issue is attempting to use the adapter with a DVI-D port, which carries only digital signals and cannot pass the analogue VGA signal this adapter requires.

Questions about this item
Does the DVI-I male connector draw extra power or generate heat when used all day?
The adapter is passive and draws no external power, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during continuous use.
What monitor cable do I already need to connect to the HD-15 female port?
You need a standard VGA cable with an HD-15 male plug to attach to the adapter's female port.
Will this work with an older DVI-I graphics card that only outputs analog signals?
Yes, the DVI-I male end carries analog pins, so it connects directly to a DVI-I source that outputs analog video.
