The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to VGA Hub delivers a versatile, reliable solution for turning a single DisplayPort source into dual VGA outputs. Designed for classrooms, meeting rooms, trade show booths, and hybrid workspaces, this compact hub makes it easy to present to two displays at once or mirror content across multiple projectors without swapping cables or sources. Built to leverage DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities, it provides a practical bridge between modern digital sources and legacy VGA displays, helping you maximize existing equipment investments while preparing for future AV needs. With its robust construction, straightforward setup, and TAA compliance, this hub stands out as an adaptable, cost-effective choice for educators, presenters, and IT professionals who value dependable performance, clean organization, and simple operation in busy environments.

• Seamless DisplayPort 1.2 to Dual VGA Output: Receive a single DP 1.2 source and distribute the signal to two VGA displays. Ideal for side-by-side demonstrations, dual-monitor setups, or mirrored content, it eliminates the hassle of juggling cables or sources while delivering consistent image quality across both screens.
• Legacy VGA Compatibility with Modern DP Performance: Translates digital DisplayPort signals into analog VGA so older projectors and monitors can participate in modern presentations. This enables you to leverage existing displays while benefiting from the reliability and bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.2 for video across two outputs.
• Plug-and-Play Convenience: Designed for quick setup with no required driver installation. Connect DisplayPort from your computer to the hub, run two VGA cables to your displays, and you’re ready to present. This makes the hub especially valuable for classrooms, conference rooms, and event spaces where speed and reliability matter most.
• Compact, Durable Form Factor: A small, sturdy enclosure keeps clutter down and fits neatly on a desk or behind displays. The low-profile design minimizes interference with sightlines in classrooms and meeting rooms, while the robust build withstands everyday use in education and business environments.
• TAA Compliance and Broad Compatibility: This hub is designed to meet Trade Agreement Act requirements, making it suitable for government, education, and enterprise deployments in regions that require TAA-compliant devices. It supports a wide range of DisplayPort sources from laptops and desktops to thin clients, delivering dependable multi-display functionality across diverse setups.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to VGA Hub

To install, begin by locating a DisplayPort-equipped source such as a laptop or desktop computer. Connect a DisplayPort cable from your source to the hub’s DisplayPort input. Next, attach two VGA cables, one to each VGA output on the hub, and connect the other ends to your two VGA displays. Ensure both displays are powered on and set to their respective VGA input settings. Power on the source device if it isn’t already running, and allow the operating system to recognize the dual-display configuration. In most cases, you can choose whether to mirror the same image on both displays or extend your desktop across them using standard display settings in your operating system (for Windows, macOS, or Linux). If your DP source supports it, you may adjust display arrangements such as clone or extended modes to suit your presentation or workflow. Because this is a hardware-based signal converter with no required drivers, you should be able to start presenting quickly after wiring up the connections. If you encounter any trouble, first check the cable quality and ensure you’re using reliable DisplayPort and VGA cables of appropriate length, then verify that the source is set to output to DP and that the displays are configured to use their VGA inputs.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to VGA Hub designed to do? A: It converts a single DisplayPort 1.2 signal into two VGA outputs, enabling two separate VGA displays to receive the same content or, depending on source capabilities, to be used for extended configurations.
