The Lenovo USB Type-C to VGA adapter, type CABL, manufacturer number 4X90M42956, serves as a connection cable for linking a USB Type-C port to a VGA-compatible display. It enables the use of an existing USB-C port as a video output for monitors, projectors, or TVs that feature a VGA input. The device is specifically designed for use with Lenovo systems, particularly ThinkCentre models, and is intended for screen extension or mirroring.
Applications
This adapter is suitable for all scenarios where a USB-C port needs to be connected to a VGA-compatible display. This includes office workstations, presentations using projectors, and connecting laptops or desktop computers to older monitors that do not support digital video connections such as HDMI or DisplayPort. The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels, which is sufficient for most classic VGA displays.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The adapter features a
VGA (D-Sub) connector at one end, configured as a
female socket, and a
USB Type-C plug at the other end. Both connectors are designed in a
straight form factor, enabling a direct and uncomplicated connection. The device is
black in color, allowing it to blend visually into most work environments. Installation requires no additional drivers, as compatibility is ensured through standardized protocols.
Technology Explained Simply
The adapter converts the digital video signal transmitted via the USB Type-C port into an analog signal for the VGA connector. This allows driving displays that only have VGA inputs. The maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels is achieved through the adapter’s conversion technology. The design is compact and lightweight, with an overall length of 222 mm, width of 27 mm, and height of 12 mm. The weight is 40 g, supporting portability.
Compatibility and Accessories
The adapter is primarily intended for Lenovo systems, especially ThinkCentre models, and can be used with any device that has a USB Type-C port and needs to drive a VGA-compatible display. Connection is direct: plug the USB Type-C plug into the computer and the VGA female socket into the display.
Installation and Mounting
Installation requires no additional software or drivers. Simply plug the USB Type-C plug into the computer’s USB Type-C port and connect the VGA socket to the display. The operating temperature of the device ranges from 0 °C to 410 °C, allowing use under normal indoor conditions. The connection becomes active immediately once the physical connection is established.
Operational Advantages
The adapter provides a simple and reliable way to use a USB-C port for video output without requiring additional software or drivers. Its compact design and low weight make it ideal for mobile applications. Support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 pixels ensures clear and sharp image reproduction on compatible displays. Its use is universal, as VGA ports are still common in many older and mid-range displays.
