The DVI2VGAE is a DVI-D male to VGA female active adapter for connect digital DVI-enabled devices, such as laptop or desktop computer, to a VGA projector or display. Providing a simple way to output user-generated content such as presentations and work documents, the DVI-D to VGA converter can also work to increase your productivity by extending computer's desktop onto to a secondary monitor, doubling available workspace. This portable adapter works to convert a standard powered DVI bus to VGA, without an external power source. For low-powered DVI ports, a USB cable is included that can power the device from any USB power source.
