It says in the description that you can use this to hook up a vga monitor to a dvi source, but can you hook up a dvi monitor to a vga source with this

Don't exactly know; the male / female connections were reversed for my use.

I'm not sure. Basically, what you need to do is look at the "input plugs" of your DVI monitor and VGA source. If the plug is a male pin (pins sticking out), then you need a female on that part of the adapter. If the plug is a female pin (a flat surface with holes in it), then you need a male on that side of the adapter. In other words, if you have female DVI and male VGA, then you need an adapter with male DVI and female VGA. StarTech does make both kinds. I got one of each for each end of my cable. I do have a successful setup, but had to use my VGA monitor. I could not get the KVM switch-and-adapters to operate the DVI monitor with both computers. But it's been a while, and I no longer remember exactly what the problem was. Apologies for only being able to offer half an answer. Specifically to your particular question, you might need the other gender adapter, and there could be other compatibility issues. Good luck and best wishes.

No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

I used it for VGA and DVI which works very well. I constantly switch between the two modes in a four monitor set up on one machine and a two monitor setup on another (both setups share one monitor). It also supports HDMI, which I do not used.

If your monitor has rca in then yes. If you mean to convert rca to vga, this does the exact opposite (but you probably meant vga to rca)

Yes. You can input VGA and output VGA or DVI all or a combination of outputs. Also you can input DVI and output VGA or DVI or a combination. You will need DVI to VGA adaptor

You cannot use the cheap passive adapters for DVI to vga because the card has only DVI-I outputs. The expensive active adapters are required.

Your workstation is listed as having two DisplayPort and one VGA video outputs. Did it not come with this adapter? If not, it then depends on the inputs on your monitor. If it will accept DP, DVI, or VGA then you have options. You can either get a DP cable, VGA cable, or this adapter and use a DVI cable. That's why I had to get the adapters, because the monitors I was using would only take DVI or VGA input and I wanted to connect to them using the DVI port. Hope this helps.

Well, what you are asking is whether it is VGA to DisplayPort. Answer is: No.It is DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

Not quite sure what the question means but based on what I think you mean.... Meant to connect one DVI monitor, one VGA monitor, one mouse, one keyboard, USB and audio to up to 4 computers. For each computer you use a vga output and a DVI output. When you switch inputs ewverything changes over. The monitor receiving vga continues to be the vga monitor so no need to change it, same for the DVI monitor. Alternatively you can connect a dvi monitor to the hdmi output by using the appropriate adapter cable. Ditto for the vga if you have the appropriate adapters but generally not worth the trouble.

If I understand the question correctly, I do not know for sure if it will work. I connected a VGA monitor to a newer dvi-d port and it worked great! The first thing to confirm would be the connections (male vs female)

This is a serial port adapter, Not a VGA adapter.You are looking for a USB to VGA adapter.

No. This adapter is for connecting a laptop that has an HDMI (output) port to a regular monitor that has a VGA (input) port.

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

I used this adapter to connect a video card with a DVI-D port to the VGA cable to my monitor. This adapter is probably the opposite of what you need - I am guessing you need a Female DVI to Male VGA adapter.

Hello Matthew, I will say every connector is on this device because built in you have VGA, HDMI and a Display Port. You may say, what about DVI and while that is not built in, you can buy an additional cable to convert either the HDMI or the Display Port to DVI and for that matter you can get both and run 2 DVI monitors! These are great computers.

I'm not sure. I haven't used it for that purpose. Mine connects straight to DVI.
