Introduction: Bridging the Gap Between Old and New
In a rapidly advancing tech world, connectivity remains one of the biggest challenges—especially when you’re working with older devices that use VGA ports. Whether it’s a legacy desktop, classroom projector, or an older laptop, connecting it to modern HDMI-enabled displays often seems impossible.
That’s where the UGREEN VGA to HDMI Adapter – CM513 comes in.
This compact, reliable adapter is designed to convert analog VGA signals into digital HDMI output, complete with integrated audio support and USB-powered operation. Whether you’re conducting presentations, teaching in class, setting up monitors at church, or simply breathing new life into a trusted computer, the CM513 helps your devices speak the same language.
Now available at Phonex Technologies Kenya, it’s the professional’s go-to tool for seamless display conversion.
What This Adapter Is Built For
-
Connecting VGA desktops/laptops to HDMI monitors or TVs
-
Using legacy equipment in modern digital classrooms
-
Running projector-to-flat-screen TV transitions for events or meetings
-
Supporting surveillance systems using old VGA feeds
-
Creating hybrid studio or office setups with mixed video ports
If your old PC still works well but only has a VGA port—and your screen, TV, or projector uses HDMI—the UGREEN CM513 makes them compatible instantly.
Seamless VGA to HDMI Video Conversion
Unlike passive converters that drop signals or distort images, the UGREEN CM513 uses active signal conversion technology. This means it accurately converts analog VGA output to digital HDMI, with minimal signal loss or latency.
Features include:
-
Supports up to 1080p Full HD
-
Maintains color clarity and sharpness
-
Works instantly without driver installation
-
Crystal-clear video display on modern monitors and TVs
You don’t need to compromise on visual quality when using older machines.
USB-Powered with Audio Support
One of the key features that sets this adapter apart is its dual power and audio support system:
-
USB cable powers the adapter, removing the need for external adapters or battery-powered boxes
-
3.5mm audio cable channels sound from the VGA source into the HDMI output
-
Integrated solution provides both video and audio via HDMI, which VGA alone cannot do
This means your presentations, movies, or online classes can be both seen and heard on the connected HDMI display—making it perfect for classrooms, meeting rooms, and home offices.
Plug-and-Play – No Software Needed
The UGREEN CM513 is designed to be as simple as possible:
-
Just plug in the VGA cable, USB for power, and 3.5mm audio if needed
-
Connect the HDMI end to your monitor or projector
-
That’s it—no drivers, installations, or updates required
Whether you’re setting up a conference room in a rush, conducting a training session, or fixing a student laptop, installation is always effortless.
Solid Build Quality – Durable and Portable
The CM513 combines UGREEN’s reputation for reliable build quality with a lightweight, compact design:
-
Gold-plated connectors for reduced signal loss and rust resistance
-
ABS housing ensures heat resistance and long-term durability
-
Flexible 25cm cable length offers convenience for desktop or under-TV placement
-
