The DELOCK 61848 is an adapter for connecting a VGA monitor or display to a computer equipped with a DisplayPort output. It enables the use of older VGA devices with modern systems featuring DisplayPort interfaces, without requiring additional software or driver installations. The adapter is operating system independent and thus suitable for various environments, including Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

Applications
This adapter is used when connecting a VGA display to a device with a DisplayPort port. This is particularly relevant in office environments where older monitors are still in use, or in situations where an additional screen is to be connected to a modern PC. Its use is independent of the operating system environment, as no driver installation is required.

Functions and Features in Detail
The adapter features a 20-pin DisplayPort connector on the input side and a 15-pin VGA female socket on the output side. The VGA socket is equipped with nuts to ensure a secure and stable connection to the monitor. The maximum supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz, although the actual resolution depends on the compatibility of the connected monitor and system. The adapter supports various screen formats, including VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, as well as HDTV up to 1080p, as stated in the technical specifications from Michael AG. An integrated ferrite core suppresses electromagnetic interference and ensures clean signal transmission.

Technology Explained Simply
The adapter operates according to the DisplayPort 1.1a specification, as confirmed by information from api GmbH, Tarox AG, and Michael AG. However, some sources also mention DisplayPort 1.2, indicating inconsistencies among sources. Therefore, the exact specification is not definitively determined. The chipset used in the adapter is the Analogix ANX9833, as noted in a web search from 2026-10-14. This chip converts the digital DisplayPort signal into an analog VGA signal. The automatic standby detection allows the adapter to enter sleep mode when no signal is received, saving energy and extending the device’s lifespan.

Compatibility and Accessories
The adapter is compatible with systems featuring an available DisplayPort port. There is no information about specific accessories or additional components that can be combined with the adapter. The package includes only the adapter itself, as stated in sources 1, 3, 4, and 5. No additional parts, such as cables or adapters for other interfaces, are included.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply plugging the DisplayPort connector into the computer’s corresponding port and the VGA connector into the monitor’s VGA port. The physical connection is stabilized by the included nuts on the VGA socket. The cable length is approximately 12 cm excluding connectors, as stated in multiple sources, although Michael AG specifies a length of 12.5 cm. The short length is suitable for use in confined spaces or for direct connection to the computer.

Operational Advantages
The adapter offers simple and quick installation without additional software. The automatic standby detection reduces power consumption when no signal is present. The stability of the connection is ensured by the nuts on the VGA socket. Compatibility with various operating systems makes the adapter universally applicable. Support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz enables clear and smooth image display, provided the connected device supports it.
