Overview
- The mbeat Tough Link HDMI to VGA cable bridges the gap between modern digital devices and older analogue displays. This 1.8m cable converts HDMI's digital signal to VGA's analogue format, enabling seamless connectivity to projectors, monitors, and HDTVs without requiring device replacement.
The integrated 3.5mm audio output delivers stereo sound alongside video, while the USB power port supports low-power devices such as PS4, MacBook, Mac mini, and Apple TV. This eliminates power concerns when connecting portable or low-power devices to legacy displays.
Built with premium components including gold-plated connectors, an aluminium case, and nylon braided cable, the Tough Link delivers reliability and durability for professional and business environments. The cable uses a CS5213 IC for smooth signal conversion and stable performance.

FAQs
Does this cable support 4K resolution?
No. The mbeat Tough Link supports resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz (1920×1080). For 4K displays, you would need a different solution as VGA is limited to 1080p maximum.
Can I use this cable to convert VGA to HDMI?
No. This cable is designed for one-way use only—HDMI to VGA conversion. It does not support the reverse direction (VGA to HDMI).
Why does this cable have a USB port?
The USB port provides power to low-power HDMI devices such as PS4, MacBook, Mac mini, and Apple TV. Connect it to a USB power source (computer USB 3.0 port or phone charger) to ensure stable operation without additional power supplies.
Will this work with my older monitor?
Yes, provided your monitor has a VGA input port. This cable connects any HDMI-equipped device (PC, laptop, Mac) to VGA monitors, projectors, and HDTVs, supporting up to 1080p resolution.
Is audio included with the video output?
Yes. The cable includes a 3.5mm audio jack (male) that outputs stereo sound. Connect it to powered speakers, headphones, or an audio system to get sound alongside your video.
What's the warranty period?
The mbeat Tough Link comes with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is the cable long enough for a typical boardroom setup?
The 1.8m cable offers reasonable length for most office and boardroom installations. Measure your distance from device to display before ordering. If you need greater reach, consider a VGA extension cable in addition to this converter.
