Hardware Connectivity

Plugable's HDMI to VGA cable connects your HDMI capable computer to a VGA monitor, projector, or other display device. The robust flat cable prevents tangling and can easily be tucked away behind your display and computer.

Our cable's CH7101A Digital to Analog chipset converts from the source's digital HDMI signal to an analog VGA signal both business class displays without a HDMI input, as well as older monitors with only a VGA connection. This conversion is performed inline without any external convert boxes or power sources necessary.* Please note, while HDMI can carry audio the VGA is not compatible with audio, a separate audio cable

(*Most HDMI outputs will provide enough power to run the digital to analog conversion, some extremely low power devices may not be compatible with this adapter cable ).

Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable

The Plugable USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter Cable enables a DisplayPort display to be connected to a computer via a USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3 port which supports "VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C" ("Alt Mode").

Supports resolutions up to 3840x2160@60Hz (4K) on DisplayPort displays.

Uncompromising Performance

Alt Mode adapters allow you to add an additional display output easily and inexpensively on supported systems. Since DisplayPort Alternate Mode is a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system, the connected display will function with the same uncompromising performance of a natively attached display.

Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.

Compatible Systems

Plug and Play installation on any Windows, Mac, or Linux host which supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) video output functionality.

Adapter has been fully tested for functionality on the 2018 iPad Pro (mirroring only), 2018 MacBook Air, 2017 iMac/iMac Pro, 2017 & 2018 MacBook/MacBook Pro, MacBook Retina 12" 2016 / 2017, Google Pixelbook, Chromebook Pixel 2015, Dell XPS 13 9360 / 9370 & XPS 15 9560 / 9570, Lenovo P50, and Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+.

Audio is supported on DisplayPort capable TVs and monitors with built-in speakers.

Note: Apple has limited the 4K abilities of the 2016 and previous 12" MacBook to only support 30Hz.

Incompatible Systems

Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alt Mode video output.

ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not support Alt Mode video at this time.

DisplayPort connector cannot be converted to HDMI, DVI, or VGA.

Our cable is not bi-directional and can only work with DisplayPort port displays.

Motherboards with dual USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports are limited to a single Alt Mode output; only one Alt Mode adapter supported per system.

DisplayPort MST

Adapter is capable of passing Multi-Stream data. However, DisplayPort MST daisy chaining is dependent upon the host system, graphics drivers, and monitors being used.

Leveraging 40Gbps of bandwidth made possible by Intel's Thunderbolt 3 technology, Plugable's Dual DisplayPort Adapter enables users to connect two additional displays with native graphics performance. Supports up to two additional 4K displays (or a single 5k display) with 60Hz refresh rates. Thunderbolt 3-attached displays tap directly into the power of your system's GPU to enable high-performance, low-latency output without utilizing additional system resources.

Not all Thunderbolt 3 systems are compatible with dual display graphics adapters.

Compatible Systems
For both graphics adapter outputs to function, system manufacturer must have routed two DisplayPort lines to the Thunderbolt 3 port(s). This is an engineering decision made by your system manufacturer. Currently only Dell and HP Thunderbolt 3 systems meet this requirement but more compatible Thunderbolt 3 systems are expected in the future.

Tested/validated with:
Dell XPS 13 9350 & XPS 15 9550
HP Elite X2 1012 G1

Requires updated system BIOS, Thunderbolt 3 drivers, and Thunderbolt 3 firmware installed on host system.

Non-compatible Systems
Will not function when attached to a non-Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port

As mentioned above, most current non-Dell, non-HP Thunderbolt 3 systems are not compatible due to a limited number of DisplayPort lines routed to the Thunderbolt 3 port.

Usage with non-DisplayPort Displays
Conversion to HDMI/DVI /VGA can only be done with active adapters (not inexpensive DP++ passive adapters).

In the Box
1x Plugable TBT3-DP2X w/ built-in 10 inch (25 cm) Thunderbolt 3 USB-C cable and quick-install guide.

The Plugable USB 10Gbps Type-C Extension Cable with Built-In 240W Power Meter with Male and Female connection (USBC-METER3-1MF) has a lot going for it. For starters, it'll extend your current USB-C cord by 3.3' (1m), and deliver up to 240W of charging power. That means you can combine this USB C fast charging cable with your laptop's USB-C charging cables to give you (and your laptop) a little extra room to move around.

When extending an equally capable Thunderbolt 4, or USB C data cable with charging, like the Plugable USB4-240W-1M USB C data cable with charging, get 240W Extended Power Range support, or support for video Alt mode at up to 4K 60Hz. This USB C to C cable also supports impressive 10Gbps data transfer speeds. And, as nice as it is to have, the most innovative feature isn't the braided cord or the aluminum housing.

The most unique feature of the Plugable USB C cable to USB C is the built-in USB C power meter, sometimes called a Watt meter. Now you can monitor your power draw and consumption. Use it as a USB cable tester to see if all of your laptop's USB-C ports deliver the same charge. And you'll finally find out if that "Super Best Fast Speed Charger" you ordered (I mean, it was so cheap how could you resist) actually delivers the charge it claims on the package.

Built-In Power Meter - Measure your power and flow and consumption with real-time monitoring on digital power meter.

Transferring files from your old computer to your new computer has traditionally been measured in hours. And depending on the size of the transfer, it could easily take longer still.

With the new Thunderbolt Transfer Cable from Plugable (TBT-TRAN), you can transfer the contents of one computer to another at speeds of up to 10Gbps. That means 1TB of data can move between computers in minutes rather than hours.

Let's take a look at a couple of ways you can transfer files. Cloud Storage is a popular option. You simply upload everything to a service like Google Drive or OneDrive.

Depending on your connection to the World Wide Web, that's going to take somewhere between several hours and the entire day. Everything uploaded? Great, now you're ready to download to the new computer. Hopefully you planned accordingly, because you're looking at another large chunk of your day dedicated to the task.

Using an external hard drive is a fine route to take. Of course, if you don't already have a drive large enough to hold all of your data in one go, things can get complicated. And even if you do have a big enough drive, you're still spending a lot of time waiting around. Cable transfer really is the most efficient way to get everything moved over.

If it was as easy as just tethering two computers with a cord, then just any old cord would do. But the data cable only dictates the speed at which the data can flow. And while a well-built Thunderbolt cable is your fastest bet, you still need a software solution. The Plugable TBT-TRAN comes bundled with a license for Easy Computer Sync software by Bravura.

With Easy Computer Sync, and the included Thunderbolt data transfer cable pc to pc, securely transfer your important files between two Thunderbolt 3 / Thunderbolt 4 or USB4-equipped Windows computers. No external hard drive necessary, and after you've downloaded the software, you won't need an internet connection either. The product key is connected directly to the cable-so you won't lose it-and comes with unlimited transfers of unlimited data across an unlimited number of computers.

The TBT-TRAN is all about ease of use. If you have two Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 / 3, or USB4 ports, you can transfer files between them.

Not compatible with USB-C ports without Thunderbolt or USB 2.0/3.0 ports.

And, while the TBT-TRAN is more than just a Thunderbolt cable, when you aren't using it to transfer files between computers, you can still use it as just a Thunderbolt cable (40 Gbps).
