What are USB-C to VGA Cables?

USB-C to VGA cables allow modern devices with USB-C ports to connect to older displays or projectors with VGA inputs. These adapters transmit video signals, making them useful for presentations and additional display setups. However, they typically only support video (not audio) and are limited by the VGA display’s resolution.

FAQ

What is a USB-C to VGA cable used for?

A USB-C to VGA cable allows you to connect a device with a USB-C port (such as a laptop or tablet) to a VGA-enabled monitor, projector, or display, typically used for presentations, external displays, or video output.

Can I use a USB-C to VGA cable for high-definition video?

VGA supports resolutions up to 1080p, but it is an analogue signal, so the video quality may not be as sharp as with digital connections like HDMI or DisplayPort. The quality also depends on the resolution of the display.

Does a USB-C to VGA cable transmit audio?

No, VGA is a video-only connection. If you need to transmit audio, you will need a separate audio cable or to use a different connection that supports both audio and video, such as HDMI.

Will a USB-C to VGA cable work with my MacBook/Chromebook?

Yes, USB-C to VGA cables are compatible with any device that has a USB-C port supporting video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). This includes many newer MacBooks, Chromebooks, and laptops.
