Lindy VGA to DVI Analogue Adapter Cable - DVI-I Female (Analogue) to VGA Male 0.2m
This high-quality adapter cable allows you to connect a computer with a VGA output to a monitor or...This high-quality adapter cable allows you to connect a computer with a VGA output to a monitor or projector with a DVI-I analogue input. To use, simply plug it into the VGA port on your computer and then use a Male to Male DVI-I cable to connect it to your display. Many modern graphics cards feature both DVI-I (digital and analogue) and VGA (analogue) connectors. This adapter cable is useful when you want to connect the two analogue signals from a computer equipped with one of these cards to two DVI-I displays. Connectors: DVI-I (Analogue) Female to VGA 15 Way HD Male. 10 Year Warranty. Length: 20cm. Please note: The DVI-I Female connector used in this adapter cable mates to the analogue pins incorporated in the DVI-I interface to send the analogue VGA signals to your monitor. It does not convert VGA analogue signals to DVI digital!
This Lindy adapter cable is designed for users needing to connect a computer with a VGA output to a display featuring a DVI-I analogue input. It offers a straightforward way to extend analogue video connections, making it ideal for situations where a direct connection isn't possible or when leveraging existing DVI-I ports for VGA signals. A key benefit is its ability to utilize the analogue capabilities of DVI-I interfaces, but it's important to note this adapter does not convert VGA analogue signals to DVI digital signals.

FAQs
Can this adapter convert VGA to digital DVI?
No, this adapter is designed specifically for analogue signal transmission. It passes the analogue VGA signal through the analogue pins of a DVI-I connector. It does not perform any digital conversion.
What type of DVI connection does this adapter support?
The adapter has a DVI-I Female connector, which mates to the analogue pins of a DVI-I interface. It is compatible with DVI-I ports that accept analogue input. It will not work with DVI-D (digital only) connections.
Do I need any drivers for this adapter?
No, this is a passive adapter cable. It does not require any software drivers. It relies on the native video output of your computer and the input capabilities of your display.
What other cables do I need to use this adapter?
You will need a standard DVI-I Male to Male cable to connect from the adapter's DVI-I female port to your display's DVI-I input.
What is the warranty period for this adapter?
This adapter comes with a 10 Year Warranty from the date of purchase.
Can I use this with a DVI-D (digital) port?
No, this adapter is for DVI-I analogue connections only. It will not function with DVI-D (digital only) ports.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on the display
Ensure the VGA cable is securely connected to the computer and the adapter. Verify that the DVI-I cable is securely connected to the adapter and the display. Confirm that the display is set to the correct input source (DVI-I analogue) and that the DVI-I port on the display supports analogue input. Check if the computer's display settings are configured correctly.
Flickering or distorted image
Check for loose connections. Try a different DVI-I Male to Male cable. Ensure the VGA port on the computer is functioning correctly. Verify that the display's DVI-I input is functioning properly and set to analogue mode if applicable.
Display is detected but shows no image
Confirm that the DVI-I port on your monitor or projector is indeed a DVI-I port that accepts analogue signals. Some DVI-I ports are digital-only or configured differently. Test the computer's VGA output with a different VGA-only monitor to rule out computer issues.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enables connection between VGA and DVI-I analogue inputs.
Short cable length reduces clutter.
Reliable analogue signal transmission.
Durable construction ensures longevity.
Backed by a 10-year warranty.
Cons
Only supports analogue signals; does not convert to digital.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Connect the VGA (D-Sub 15-way HD Male) end of the adapter cable to the VGA output port on your computer.
Connect a DVI-I Male to Male cable to the DVI-I Female (Analogue) end of the adapter cable.
Connect the other end of the DVI-I Male to Male cable to the DVI-I input port on your monitor or projector.
Ensure all connections are secure.
Power on your computer and display. The display should now show the computer's output.
Compatibility:
Computer Output: VGA (Analogue)
Display Input: DVI-I (specifically, the analogue pins within the DVI-I connector).
Important Note: This adapter does NOT support digital DVI signals nor does it convert analogue VGA to digital DVI. It relies on the DVI-I port's ability to accept analogue input.
Operating Systems: Compatible with all operating systems that support VGA output.
Care:
Keep the adapter in a dry environment.
Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
Clean connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
