This USB Type-C to VGA adapter connects a VGA monitor to the USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer, tablet, laptop, notebook, MacBook, Chromebook, Ultrabook or smartphone. It's an ideal connector for multitasking, presenting video at trade shows and conferences, editing documents, playing online games and watching movies on a larger screen. It saves you money by allowing you to use your existing VGA display instead of buying a new monitor.
By connecting the USB Type-C plug to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 1080p video to a VGA monitor, television or projector without the hassle of installing special software drivers.
To send high-definition video to a VGA television, projector or monitor, connect the VGA port to the display using a VGA cable (such as Tripp Lite's P500-Series, sold separately). The VGA port supports HD video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (1080p) at 60 Hz.
The USB Type-C input's vertical orientation results in a slimmer adapter that maximizes space around the device's ports and prevents them from being blocked. Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB Type-C male connector plugs into a USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.
The plug-and-play USB Type-C to VGA adapter is specifically designed for use with the MacBook, Google Chromebook Pixel and other laptops, tablets and devices equipped with a USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. It requires no software, drivers or external power. The palm-sized one-piece molding fits into your pocket, briefcase or laptop bag for connecting to VGA displays anywhere.
