UGREEN 1.5m DisplayPort to VGA Cable, 1080p (10247)
An exhaustive, practical guide to the exact connector path, verified performance, construction, setup, compatibility, safe use and troubleshooting.
Product overview
Overview
UGREEN 10247 is a 1.5m active display cable for sending video from a computer or graphics card with a full-size DisplayPort output to a monitor, projector or television with a VGA/HD15 input. Conversion electronics are integrated into the cable, so no separate adapter, VGA lead, driver or external power supply is required. VGA is analogue and video-only.
The buying decision begins with the exact interfaces and application, not the largest printed number. Confirm that the physical ports, protocol, device software and complete route match this model.

Port and direction check
Choose the right connection
Full-size DisplayPort male source plug to VGA / HD15 male display plug, integrated 1.5m cable
Strictly one-way: full-size DisplayPort output at the source to VGA/HD15 input at the display. It cannot convert a VGA source into a DisplayPort monitor and neither connector should be treated as interchangeable.
Inspect port labels and connector shapes under good light before routing. Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, full-size DisplayPort, USB-C, VGA and full-size HDMI are distinct interfaces even when two connectors appear similar at a glance.
Resolution, refresh and signal
Verified display modes and performance
Up to 1920 × 1200 and 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz. DisplayPort video is converted to an analogue VGA signal, so actual sharpness also depends on the source timing, receiving display, cable route and analogue input quality. Audio is not carried.
A maximum resolution or refresh rate is not forced by the product. The source GPU, source port, adapter or cable, receiving input and every intermediate device must negotiate a mode they all support.
When a high mode fails, establish a stable direct connection at a conservative timing, then raise one setting at a time while checking picture, colour and audio.

Where it fits
Use scenarios
Desktop PC to an older monitor
Connect a graphics card’s full-size DisplayPort output directly to a VGA-input office monitor.
Workstation to a projector
Present from a DisplayPort computer to a legacy projector with VGA/HD15 input.
Second analogue display
Use a spare full-size DisplayPort output for one VGA screen while the operating system controls mirror or extended mode.
Television with VGA input
Send compatible computer video to a television that exposes an enabled PC/VGA input; sound needs a separate route.
Integrated cable replacement
Replace an adapter-plus-VGA-cable chain with one 1.5m active lead when both port roles match.
Service and test bench
Connect a modern DisplayPort source to a known-good VGA display for conservative legacy-video testing.
A reliable first connection
Setup and usability guidance
Follow a controlled sequence so connector, direction, display-mode and audio faults remain easy to isolate.
- Confirm the source has a full-size DisplayPort video output and the receiving display has a 15-pin VGA/HD15 input.
- Power off or place both devices in standby before the first connection.
- Insert the DisplayPort plug into the source without twisting the housing.
- Insert the VGA plug into the display and tighten both thumbscrews evenly by hand.
- Select VGA or PC input on the display and start at 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz or a lower shared mode.
- Route audio separately from the source if sound is required.
- If the image is unstable, test a lower timing and a direct connection before changing software or hardware.
Compatibility explained
Compatible devices and systems
Required source side
- Full-size DisplayPort output on a desktop, workstation, dock or graphics card
- The source port must provide video output, not merely share a similar connector shape
- Graphics hardware and system settings must support the requested display mode
Required display side
- VGA/HD15 female input on a monitor, projector or television
- The selected display input must be enabled and support the chosen timing
- Any separately required cable must be sound and correctly rated
System behaviour
- No product-specific application is required for ordinary display use
- Mirror and extended-desktop choices are controlled by the source operating system
- Resolution, refresh, colour, HDR and audio options depend on the complete signal chain
Important boundaries
- Not Mini DisplayPort, USB-C or HDMI at the source
- Not compatible in the VGA-source to DisplayPort-display direction
- VGA carries analogue video only; audio requires a separate path
Compatibility is conditional. A device name or logo in product artwork identifies a use category, not universal support for every hardware revision, operating system, graphics mode, port direction or accessory chain.
Supported jobs
What this product does
Use SKU 10247 for these verified roles.
- Converts one full-size DisplayPort video output into one VGA/HD15 analogue display signal.
- Provides an integrated 1.5m source-to-display cable without a separate VGA lead.
- Supports listed modes up to Up to 1920 × 1200 and 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz.
- Uses active conversion electronics without a separate external power connector.
- Allows ordinary mirror or extended-desktop use when the source graphics system supports it.
- Secures to the VGA input with two thumbscrews for a stable legacy-display connection.
Each role stays within the product category described above; it does not imply conversion, amplification, routing or software support that is not listed.
Important exclusions
What this product does not do
These exclusions prevent the most common wrong-product purchases and unsafe installations.
- It does not convert VGA output to DisplayPort input and is not a reversible converter.
- It does not carry audio, because VGA is an analogue video interface.
- It does not support 4K, HDR or refresh rates above the exact 1080p60 listing.
- It does not convert Mini DisplayPort, USB-C, HDMI or DVI ports.
- It does not split one source across multiple displays or create extra graphics outputs.
- It does not improve the analogue quality of a weak VGA input or unsupported display timing.
Best-practice checklist
What to do
Protect the connection and make later diagnosis straightforward.
- Identify both physical ports and confirm which device is the source before connecting anything.
- Start with a conservative display mode, then raise resolution or refresh only after a stable picture is established.
- Insert and remove connectors by their housings, keeping the lead free of tension and sharp bends.
- Select the intended input on the monitor, television or projector after the cable path is complete.
- Test the direct, shortest supported path before adding switches, wall plates, extensions or capture equipment.
- Keep the product dry, ventilated and accessible enough to inspect if picture or audio changes.
A labelled, supported and tested connection is easier to maintain than one hidden immediately after purchase.
Avoid these mistakes
What not to do
Most failures come from wrong interfaces, unsupported claims, strain or uncontrolled channel changes.
- Do not force a connector into a similar-looking port or use a direction opposite to the one stated for this model.
- Do not pull, kink, crush, staple or allow the cable or adapter to hang by either device port.
- Do not assume the maximum printed mode will work through an older source, display, cable or intermediate device.
- Do not hot-plug repeatedly while diagnosing; power-cycle the source and display after reseating the path.
- Do not install the product outdoors, underground or permanently inside a wall without the required published rating.
- Do not continue using damaged, loose, contaminated or unusually hot connectors or housings.
Stop using the product if a connector, housing, jacket or lead is cracked, loose, contaminated, unusually hot or exposes conductive parts.
Read before installation
Warnings and limitations
The following limits remain important even when the connector appears to fit.
- A printed maximum is a ceiling, not a forced mode. The source, graphics hardware, adapter or cable, receiving display and every intermediate connection must share the requested resolution and refresh rate.
- VGA carries analogue picture only. Plan a separate 3.5mm, USB, Bluetooth or other supported audio path when sound is needed.
- The VGA thumbscrews should be finger-tight only; overtightening can damage the socket or shell.
- The active direction is fixed even though both ends are male connectors.
- No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated for this exact product.
- Stop using the cable if a pin is bent, a shell is loose, the jacket is cut or either connector becomes abnormally hot.

Problem-to-check sequence
Troubleshooting guide
| No image on the VGA display | Verify the cable is connected DisplayPort-source to VGA-display, select VGA input and restart the source after the display is connected. |
|---|---|
| VGA plug will not fit | Inspect for bent pins and confirm the socket is 15-pin VGA/HD15, not 9-pin serial. Never force the plug. |
| Image is soft or shifted | Use the display’s auto-adjust function where available, select a native or lower shared mode and check analogue position/clock controls. |
| No sound | This is expected: VGA does not carry audio. Connect a separate supported audio output from the source. |
| Display is not detected | Try a known-good full-size DisplayPort output, restart the computer with the display connected and update graphics drivers if appropriate. |
| Flicker at the maximum mode | Reduce refresh or resolution, remove nearby high-interference routing and test the cable directly with another VGA display. |
Change one variable at a time. A known-good direct connection at a conservative display mode is the fastest way to separate a product fault from a port, direction, cable, graphics setting, display input or audio-path problem.
Collapsible answers
Product-specific FAQ
Open any question for a concise answer about exact SKU 10247.
Which end connects to the computer?
The full-size DisplayPort male plug connects to the video-output source. The 15-pin VGA/HD15 male plug connects to the receiving display.
Can it work from a VGA computer to a DisplayPort monitor?
No. Conversion is strictly DisplayPort source to VGA display. Reverse use requires a different active VGA-to-DisplayPort converter.
What is the highest listed display mode?
The exact record lists up to 1920 × 1200 and 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz, subject to both endpoints and the complete signal path.
Does it carry audio?
No. VGA carries analogue video only, so use a separate audio connection if the presentation needs sound.
Is it an adapter or a complete cable?
It is a complete integrated 1.5m active cable with male plugs at both ends; no separate VGA cable is required.
Does it require USB power?
No separate USB or external power connection is required for the exact product.
Does it need a driver?
No product-specific driver is required. The computer still needs a working DisplayPort graphics output and normal graphics support.
Will it work from Mini DisplayPort or USB-C?
No. The source plug is full-size DisplayPort. Mini DisplayPort and USB-C require a different correctly specified product.
Can it support 4K?
No 4K mode is claimed. This page is limited to the exact 1920 × 1200 and 1080p60 listing.
Can I mirror or extend the desktop?
Yes when the computer’s graphics hardware and operating system support the selected mode. The cable does not create an independent GPU output.
Why does the VGA plug have screws?
The thumbscrews secure the analogue connector against movement. Tighten them evenly by hand and do not overtighten.
What is included?
One UGREEN 10247 1.5m DisplayPort-to-VGA integrated cable is listed. A separate audio cable is not included.
