StarTech DVIVGAMF — passive DVI-I to VGA adapter

A documented passive DVI-I-source to VGA-display example, with analog-path requirements kept separate from the connector contact grid.

Also called StarTech DVIVGAMF DVIVGAMF

The documented path starts with DVI-I source equipment; passive adaptation is not evidence that a DVI-D digital output gains an analog signal.

The useful distinction

Match the exact manufacturer model and read its labeled signal path. Connector appearance alone does not identify the product or its capabilities.

Cable / adapter note · not an individual product specification

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

A documented passive DVI-I-source to VGA-display example, with analog-path requirements kept separate from the connector contact grid. [C333A]

The DVIVGAMF connector table identifies a DVI-I dual-link 29-contact form. That physical description does not certify implemented digital links. The inspected sheet supplies body dimensions, not a cable-reach specification or a supported-timing table. [C333B]

Evidence scopeExact-product example; not a recommendation or inspected physical sample. [C333A]
Signal-path boundaryThe documented path starts with DVI-I source equipment; passive adaptation is not evidence that a DVI-D digital output gains an analog signal. [C333A]
Verified device listNot included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

These source-scoped examples do not verify the ports, cables, drivers or timing modes of equipment you own. No compatibility verdict or approval is granted.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Read the source and display port documentation.
  2. Match the exact product model, connector form and direction.
  3. Check auxiliary connections and operating limits independently.
  4. Do not force connectors, probe pins or treat these references as wiring instructions.
