Physical & electrical compatibility
Direction is HDMI source to VGA display; it does not convert VGA output to HDMI. VGA is analog and does not carry HDMI audio; any audio output must be separately supported and routed. Verify source output mode, display timing (up to the manufacturer-listed 1920 × 1080), and adapter revision. Do not use passive HDMI-to-VGA wiring.
Archival & handling notes
Label HDMI source and VGA display ends; note tested resolution and whether audio was handled separately. Keep adapter weight supported, inspect HDMI shell and VGA screws, and store dry to protect contacts.
Record provenance, condition, label photographs, exact full part number/revision, host system, and any test method/result. Preserve packaging and source documents with the cable when available.
