Nippon Labs DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, 1080p Gold Plated, DP Male to VGA Female

This adapter plugs into a DisplayPort output on your computer and gives you a VGA socket for your own VGA cable. The signal flows one way only, from the DisplayPort side out to the VGA display. It is what you need when a current computer has to drive an older monitor or projector whose only input is the blue fifteen pin VGA connector.

FAQ

Does this work in both directions? No. It converts from DisplayPort out to the other format only. It will not take an HDMI, DVI or VGA source and feed a DisplayPort monitor. For that you need a converter built for the opposite direction.

Will audio come through? No. VGA carries video only with no audio channel, so sound has to come from your computer's own speakers, its headphone jack or a separate audio connection to the room system.

Is a VGA cable included? No. The output is a VGA socket, so you plug your own VGA cable in to reach the monitor or projector. Rooms with VGA equipment usually have that cable already.
