Product Information

Full details

This 2m VGA monitor connector cable from Connekt Gear is designed for users needing a reliable connection between older PCs and monitors or displays without HDMI/DVI. Its key benefit is delivering a clear, consistent signal through double-shielding and robust molded connectors, ensuring signal integrity and durability. A caveat is that it only supports VGA connections, making it unsuitable for modern devices reliant on digital video interfaces.

FAQs

Is this cable suitable for connecting a new laptop to a modern monitor?

This cable is designed for VGA connections. If your new laptop and modern monitor have HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C, a different type of cable or adapter would be more appropriate for higher quality digital signals. This cable is best for older devices that only feature VGA ports.

What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?

This cable supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is High Definition (HD 1080p).

Does this cable require any drivers or software?

No, this is a passive cable and a Plug and Play device. It does not require any drivers or software installation. Simply connect it between your devices.

Can I use this cable with a DVI to VGA adapter?

Yes, you can typically use this cable with a DVI to VGA adapter, provided the adapter is designed for DVI-to-VGA conversion and your source device has a DVI output. The adapter would connect to your source, and then this VGA cable would connect to the adapter and your display.

How does the double-shielding benefit the signal quality?

The double-shielding helps to protect the analog video signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This reduces the likelihood of visual artifacts like static, ghosting, or color distortion, resulting in a clearer and more stable picture.

What is the cable jacket made of?

The cable jacket is made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which offers a balance of flexibility and durability for everyday use.

What are the connector types?

Both connectors are standard 15-pin VGA (D-Sub) male connectors, designed for direct connection to VGA ports.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed / Black screen

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the correct VGA ports on both devices. Verify that the display device is set to the correct input source (VGA). Check if the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. Try another VGA cable to rule out a cable fault.

Fuzzy, distorted, or flickering image

Check that the VGA connectors are fully seated. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the cable is not running too close to strong sources of electromagnetic interference. The double-shielding helps, but extreme interference can still affect analog signals. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate are supported by both devices.

Colors are incorrect or missing

Ensure the VGA cable connectors are properly aligned and fully inserted. Inspect the pins within the VGA connector for any bends or damage. Sometimes, loose pins can cause color issues. Try a different VGA cable to isolate the problem.

Screen resolution is limited

The cable supports up to 1080p. If your resolution is lower, check the display settings on your source device (PC/laptop) and ensure it's set to the highest supported resolution for your monitor. Also, confirm the monitor itself supports higher resolutions via VGA.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clear and consistent signal due to double-shielding.
  • Molded connectors offer durability and prevent cable damage.
  • Supports HD 1080p resolution for good visual quality.
  • Plug and Play functionality ensures easy setup.
  • Ideal for connecting older PCs and monitors.

Cons

  • Only supports analog VGA signals, not digital (HDMI/DVI).
  • May not be suitable for the latest high-resolution displays or graphics cards that lack VGA output.
  • Performance can be affected by very long cable runs if not properly shielded (though this cable is double-shielded).
  • Connector type is outdated for many modern devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This VGA cable is a Plug and Play device. To set up:

  1. Ensure both the source device (e.g., PC, laptop) and the display device (e.g., monitor, projector) are powered off.
  2. Connect one male VGA connector to the VGA port on your source device.
  3. Connect the other male VGA connector to the VGA port on your display device.
  4. Power on your display device first, then power on your source device.
  5. Your display should automatically detect the signal. If not, you may need to select the correct input source on your display.

Compatibility:

  • Source Devices: Compatible with computers and laptops featuring a standard VGA (D-Sub) output port.
  • Display Devices: Compatible with monitors, TVs, and projectors featuring a standard VGA (D-Sub) input port.
  • Resolutions: Supports up to 1920 x 1080 (HD 1080p) resolution. Ensure your source and display also support this resolution for optimal clarity.
  • Note: This cable is for analog VGA signals only. It will not work with HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or USB-C ports.

Care:

  • Avoid tightly coiling or kinking the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the cable away from excessive heat and moisture.
  • Regularly inspect the connectors and cable for any signs of damage.
  • Clean the cable jacket with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • When unplugging, grip the connector housing, not the cable itself, to prevent strain.
