Compatibility
Directionality
Plugable active HDMI to VGA adapter cable is a one-way adapter from a HDMI source to a VGA display. Most common HDMI sources are desktop computers or laptops. The adapter will not function to connect a VGA source to a HDMI display.
VGA does not support audio transmission; only the HDMI video signal will be converted. The maximum supported resolution of the cable is 1920 x 1080 (60Hz). Does not support playback of HDCP-protected content such as Blu-ray discs.
Power and Incompatible Devices
The Plugable HDMI to VGA adapter requires a powered HDMI port to power the digital to analog converter, as well as a display device that outputs valid EDID configuration data for the source device to correctly detect the external display.
Due to power requirements this adapter cable is not recommended for use with the Raspberry Pi, Apple TV, Roku1/2/3, Blu-ray players, or Playstation 3/4.
Apple Compatibility
Different Mac models vary substantially in the amount of power supplied to the HDMI port. The MacBook Pro 13" (mid-2014) and Mac Mini (mid-2011) have been tested and confirmed working. Use with other Mac models is not recommended.

Is there a suggested order for which end of the cable should be connected first?
For best results, plug in the VGA end of the cable to your display prior to plugging in the HDMI end to your output device
Why isn't this cable working with my HDMI device or VGA display?
The Plugable active HDMI to VGA cable requires a powered HDMI port, unfortunately the HDMI powered port standards are not widely complied with, so it is device-dependent whether the HDMI to VGA cable will work properly. Similarly the VGA display must support Extended Display Identification Data (EDID), some older displays may be incompatible. Please feel free to contact our support team through Amazon's Contact Seller button on this page and we will be happy to help!
Does this HDMI to VGA cable work with MacBooks or OS X?
No, our cable does not work with MacBooks or OS X. It's compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11.
After connecting this cable I no longer have audio through my system speakers?
Sometimes Windows will switch the playback device to the HDMI port when it detects an HDMI cable connected, even if that cable isn’t able to transmit sound. There’s a Windows setting that can be changed so that audio will continue to play through your computer speakers. The settings change should only need to be made once. With the HDMI-VGA cable plugged in to the system, we’ll change the preferred playback device setting to tell Windows to use the computer speakers rather than trying to output over HDMI. This page has a good quick guide to where the setting is found (the process should be virtually the same for Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and 11).
