This StarTech mDP to VGA Adapter Cable with Audio (3m) features a built-in audio port, which enables you to connect a VGA monitor as well as speakers to your Mini DisplayPort equipped desktop computer or laptop (such as any of the Microsoft® Surface™ Pro devices) that support mDP.
Key Features:
Create a clutter-free environment
Remove the cable clutter from your desk. With the built-in audio port you no longer need to run a separate audio cable from your monitor or speakers directly to your desktop or laptop computer. Simply plug the audio cable from your speakers into the adapter cable for a simple and tidy solution.
In order to use the audio function of the adapter, it needs to be powered through USB. Simply connect a Micro-USB cable into the adapter from your computer, monitor or USB grommet in order to provide the necessary power.
Substitute for a damaged audio port
The adapter guarantees you always have all of the connections you need. If the audio port on your computer is damaged or blocked, this adapter cable ensures you still have sound available for watching video presentations, listening to music while you work or chatting with your colleagues over Skype™.
The adapter cable is compatible with Intel® Thunderbolt™, when connected directly to a supporting DisplayPort over Thunderbolt™ I/O port, and supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA).
