Tripp Lite P566-006-VGA HDMI to VGA active adapter cable 6 ft

Active HDMI-to-VGA adapter cable

The Tripp Lite P566-006-VGA is a six-foot active cable that converts a digital HDMI source to an analogue VGA display. It integrates the conversion electronics directly into the cable assembly, so no separate power supply is required. Gold-plated HDMI and low-profile VGA male connectors provide a secure male-to-male link. Foil and braid shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

Suits legacy displays.

This adapter suits users connecting laptops, desktops or media players with HDMI output to older monitors, projectors or TVs that only accept a VGA input. The low-profile VGA head fits into tight spaces behind equipment racks or wall-mounted screens. Buyers who need audio transmission should look elsewhere, because VGA carries video only and the cable does not extract or route a separate audio signal. It also does not support resolutions or refresh rates beyond the specified maximum.

Handles 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, stops there

The active circuitry reliably drives video up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, covering 1080p and WUXGA content for office work, presentations or video playback. Bandwidth headroom ends at that ceiling, so higher-resolution panels or high-refresh-rate gaming monitors cannot be driven at their native settings. The fixed six-foot length sets the maximum source-to-display distance without adding extensions.
