Designed to connect a computer with a DisplayPort output to a VGA monitor. DisplayPort is a digital video interface connection designed as a replacement for the DVI standard currently in use on computer hardware. It is similar in specification to the HDMI standard but unlike HDMI DisplayPort is being targeted as a computer interface more than a home theatre interface. DisplayPort differs from VGA in that it is digital this adapter will convert the digital signal into an analogue for use with VGA monitors. Features include DisplayPort v1.1 compliance, high quality digital audio transmissions, embedded clock architecture to reduce EMI susceptibility, supports resolutions greater than QXGA (2048 x 1536) at 24-bit colour depths, supports existing VESA and CEA standards, supports hot plug detection as well as link status failure, supports a minimum of 1080P resolution at 24bpp 50/60 Hz at 15 metres, supports DisplayPort signal to VGA signal, supports video bandwidth up to 10.8Gbps. Connectors are 20pin Display Port to 15pin VGA.
The Kenable 006829 is a DisplayPort to VGA adapter designed for users needing to connect modern devices with DisplayPort outputs to older monitors or projectors that only support VGA input. Its key benefit is enabling compatibility between digital and analog video signals, allowing for the reuse of existing VGA infrastructure. A minor caveat is that this is a one-way adapter, meaning it only converts DisplayPort to VGA, not the other way around. This adapter supports high resolutions and digital audio, making it versatile for various computer setups.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this adapter convert VGA to DisplayPort?
No, this adapter is unidirectional. It converts a digital DisplayPort signal to an analog VGA signal only. It cannot convert VGA to DisplayPort.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The adapter supports resolutions greater than QXGA (2048 x 1536 pixels) at 24-bit color depths.
Does this adapter transmit audio?
Yes, the adapter supports high-quality digital audio transmissions through the DisplayPort connection. However, the VGA display itself must have speakers or an audio input to output sound.
What is the length of the cable?
The cable length of this adapter is approximately 0.8 meters.
Is this adapter compatible with all DisplayPort and VGA ports?
It is compatible with standard DisplayPort outputs and standard VGA inputs. Ensure your source device has a DisplayPort output and your display has a VGA input.
Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?
No, this is a passive adapter. It does not require any drivers to function. Your operating system should detect the connected display automatically.
What does 'RoHS Compliant' mean?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the product is manufactured without certain hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, making it environmentally safer.
Troubleshooting
No image on the VGA display
Ensure the DisplayPort is firmly connected to the source device and the VGA cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Verify that the display is set to the correct VGA input source. Check if the computer's DisplayPort output is enabled and configured for external displays.
Low resolution or poor image quality
Confirm that the adapter and display support the desired resolution. Access your computer's display settings and manually select the highest supported resolution for the connected VGA display. Ensure the VGA cable is in good condition.
No audio output
This adapter supports audio transmission over DisplayPort, but the VGA standard itself does not carry audio. Ensure your VGA display has a separate audio input and that you have connected an audio cable from your computer's audio output to the display's audio input if required. Some monitors may require audio settings to be enabled in the computer's sound preferences.
Intermittent signal or flickering
Check all cable connections for looseness. Try using a different, high-quality VGA cable. Ensure the DisplayPort source is outputting a stable signal. If possible, test the adapter with a different DisplayPort source and VGA display to rule out device-specific issues.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enables connection of modern DisplayPort devices to older VGA displays.
Supports high resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 pixels for sharp image quality.
Includes support for digital audio transmission.
Compact and manageable 0.8m cable length.
RoHS compliant for environmental safety.
Cons
This is a unidirectional adapter (DisplayPort to VGA only).
Does not support audio output for VGA monitors that lack audio input.
May not be suitable for extending very long cable runs due to analog signal limitations over distance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Connect the male DisplayPort end of the adapter to the DisplayPort output on your computer or graphics card.
Connect a standard VGA monitor cable to the female VGA socket on the adapter.
Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the VGA input on your monitor or projector.
Power on your devices. Your computer should automatically detect the connected display. You may need to adjust display settings in your operating system to match the desired resolution and orientation.
Compatibility:
Source Devices: Requires a device with a standard DisplayPort output (e.g., desktops, laptops).
Display Devices: Requires a display with a standard 15-pin VGA input (e.g., monitors, projectors).
Note: This adapter converts DisplayPort *to* VGA. It will not work if your source has VGA and your display has DisplayPort.
Care:
Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or extreme temperatures.
Gently unplug cables by gripping the connector, not the wire.
Clean the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not use liquid cleaners.
