The USB32VGAEH USB 3.0 to VGA Adapter is TAA compliant and turns a USB 3.0 port into a VGA output port with 1920x1200 (WUXGA) video support. The adapter features built-in USB 3.0 pass-through, which offers a connection port in place of the USB port used for connecting the VGA adapter – an ideal workaround for Ultrabook or laptop users where only a limited number of USB ports are available. Functioning as an external graphics card, this USB to VGA adapter provides a convenient way to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0, backward compatible with USB 2.0). Leveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter delivers smooth, high-definition content to your VGA display / projector. The adapter can be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display or to extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity.
