Tripp Lite P120-000 Dvi to HD15 Video Adapter

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE P120-000 is a passive video adapter that converts a DVI male connector to an HD15 (VGA) female port. It allows DVI-equipped video sources such as graphics cards, monitors, or projectors to interface with standard analog VGA cabling and displays. Electrically, this adapter bridges the analog RGB signals carried on the DVI connector to the corresponding pins of the HD15 interface, enabling compatibility without an active conversion circuit. It is a compact, single-unit adapter suited for AV integrators, IT technicians, and A/V support professionals working in both commercial and residential installation environments.

This adapter is used in situations where a display or cable run terminates in a standard HD15 VGA connector but the source device outputs through a DVI port. Common install scenarios include connecting older VGA monitors to newer video cards, interfacing projectors with DVI-capable laptops or media players, and legacy AV system integration in conference rooms, classrooms, and control rooms. It is a one-piece passive solution requiring no drivers or external power.

Key Features

• Converts DVI male to HD15 (VGA) female for analog video signal routing
• Passive adapter design requires no drivers or external power supply
• Compact form factor minimizes rack or desk cable clutter
• Sold as a single unit for individual connection needs

Compatibility

Designed as a passive analog video adapter for use with DVI sources that carry analog RGB signals, compatible with HD15 VGA displays and cabling in standard video setups.

Installation Notes

This adapter is typically installed by IT technicians or AV integrators. Power down or disconnect the video source before attaching or removing the adapter to avoid signal or hardware issues. Finger-tighten any retaining screws on the DVI connector to secure the connection; do not overtighten. Verify that the DVI source port supports analog output, as DVI-D (digital-only) ports will not pass analog signals through an HD15 adapter.
