The Plugable HDMI to VGA active adapter cable provides a much needed link to the past.
If you find yourself with old monitors and projectors with only a VGA input, but your fancy
new computer is missing a VGA output, this cable can solve the problem without the need
of a large adapter or bulky converter. Our HDMI to VGA converter cable provides a simple
active solution to connecting your older monitors to newer computers.
This HDMI to VGA is an active cable. The distinction between active and passive adapters
determines whether or not that adapter will work for your needs. If you try to set up an
HDMI cable to a VGA monitor using passive adapters (an adapter with no chipset in it), or
using multiple adapters, like adding an HDMI to DVI adapter on top of a DVI to VGA
adapter to achieve the HDMI to VGA conversion, you most likely won’t have success with
this configuration. This is due to HDMI being a digital signal, whereas VGA is an analog
signal. Our Plugable HDMI to VGA active adapter cable is built with an internal CH7101A
Chipset, allowing you to connect your HDMI laptop to a VGA projector or monitor. Please
note that VGA is not capable of carrying an audio signal, and the adapter cable will not
transmit audio.

FAQ
Does the cable allow for both HDMI to VGA and VGA to HDMI?
No, the Plugable active HDMI to VGA cable is a one-way street
only. It connects in one direction, from a HDMI output to a VGA
input.
After plugging in the adapter cable, I’m no longer hearing
audio playback through my system. Why is this, and how do I
fix it?
Sometimes Windows will switch the playback device to the HDMI
port when it detects an HDMI cable connected, even if that cable
isn’t able to transmit sound. There’s a Windows setting that can be
changed so that audio will continue to play through your computer
speakers. The settings change should only need to be made once.
You'll need to change the default audio playback device settings in
order to tell Windows to use the computer speakers rather than
trying to output over HDMI. If you're not sure how to do this, please
visit our product page for more information.
Does the HDMI to VGA cable support HDCP?
No, the Plugable active HDMI to VGA cable does not support
HDCP content.
The cable does not work with my HDMI device.
The Plugable active HDMI to VGA cable requires a powered HDMI
port, unfortunately the HDMI powered port standards are not
widely complied with, so it is device-dependent whether the HDMI
to VGA cable will work properly.
