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.

Endpoint map

Start with what is physically represented

Documented application: DVI-I output on a computer to a VGA display. Reverse use is not independently established.

Represented path, not a complete port inventory

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

Capability ledger

Six questions kept separate

DataNot Applicable

Analog video adaptation is documented; no USB or general data transport is represented.

Evidence: C333A

Power / chargingNot Established

No auxiliary-power instruction or source power budget is established in the inspected sheet.

Evidence: C333B

VideoConditional

Requires the documented DVI-I source path; digital-only DVI-D is explicitly distinguished.

Evidence: C333A

ConversionPassive

The manufacturer explicitly classifies this named adapter as passive.

Evidence: C333A

Length / reachNot Established

Body dimensions are not a cable-reach specification.

Evidence: C333B

Markings / certificationDocumented

Documentation identifies model DVIVGAMF; this does not authenticate a physical sample.

Evidence: C333A

Operating-limit evidence

Operating limit not established

No supported-resolution or refresh-rate table is supplied in the inspected document.

C333B

A source statement, not a calculated path limit or verified equipment result.

Explicit unknowns
  • No digital-to-analog conversion is established.
  • No exact timing, reverse-use approval or universal wiring map is supplied.
