Direct USB-C to VGA Video

This adapter cable utilizes USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) to deliver a direct, high-performance connection between your device’s graphics processor and your external VGA display. The result? A seamless, natively attached monitor experience - plug and play, with no drivers or software needed.

Designed for Modern and Legacy Tech

Whether you’re presenting on a VGA projector in a boardroom or using an older monitor at home, this cable works with USB-C hosts that support Alt Mode - including the iPhone 15 and up, Surface devices, modern MacBooks with macOS 11+, and PCs with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or DisplayPort Alternate Mode support.

Important Compatibility Notes

This cable requires USB-C ports that support DisplayPort Alt Mode. It is not compatible with most Android phones, tablets, or devices using ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers, as these do not support video output. Also, systems with dual USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports may only support one video adapter at a time.
