Tripp Lite HDMI to VGA + Audio Active Adapter Cable (HDMI to Low-Profile HD15 + 3.5 mm M/M), 3 ft. (0.9 m), TAA

The Tripp Lite P566-003-VGA-A is an active converter cable that lets you send video and audio from an HDMI equipped laptop, desktop, or media player to a projector, monitor, or television that offers only VGA and analog audio inputs. It comes ready to use at a length of 3 feet, so it fits neatly on a podium, behind a desktop, or inside a signage enclosure without leaving extra slack.

The built-in circuitry supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, which means a presenter can display detailed spreadsheets, sharp slide decks, or HD video without sacrificing clarity. A 3.5 mm male plug sits next to the VGA connector to carry stereo audio, so you can pair the video feed with powered speakers in a classroom, training room, or trade-show booth.

Set-up is straightforward. You plug the gold plated HDMI connector into your source device, connect the low-profile VGA plug to the display, and attach the audio lead if sound is required. No drivers or software are needed. If the source does not supply enough power through HDMI, a Micro-B port on the adapter lets you add power from a standard USB charger or port.

The cable uses foil and braid shielding to guard the signal path against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can show up in crowded equipment racks or office environments. Gold plating on the HDMI contacts resists oxidation and helps maintain reliable conductivity through repeated insertions.

This model is compliant with the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for government and institutional purchasing. Tripp Lite backs the adapter with a three-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.
