FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ferrite cores?
The ferrite cores help to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources, which results in a cleaner, higher-quality video signal and a more stable picture.
What is DDC compatibility?
DDC (Display Data Channel) compatibility allows your monitor to communicate its capabilities (like supported resolutions and refresh rates) to your computer's graphics card. This ensures that the computer can configure the display settings optimally for your specific monitor.
Can this cable be used for high-resolution displays like 4K?
This cable uses the SVGA (VGA) standard, which is analog and generally not recommended for high-resolution digital signals like 4K. It is best suited for standard resolutions supported by VGA, typically up to 1920x1200 or similar, depending on the quality of the source and display.
How should I clean the cable?
You can clean the cable by gently wiping it with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the cable insulation or connectors.
What does the 10-year warranty cover?
The 10-year warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It's advisable to check the specific terms and conditions provided by Lindy for detailed coverage information.
Is this cable active or passive?
This is a passive cable, meaning it does not require external power. It simply transmits the analog signal between devices.
Troubleshooting
No image or distorted image displayed
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Check that the male and female connectors are correctly aligned and that thumbscrews are tightened. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your monitor. Try connecting the devices directly without the extension cable to rule out issues with the source or display.
Flickering or rolling image
This often indicates signal interference. Ensure the ferrite cores are close to the connectors. Check for other sources of electromagnetic interference near the cable. Make sure the cable is not damaged or kinked.
Incorrect resolution or color issues
Confirm that the cable is DDC compatible and that this feature is enabled in your graphics card settings. Ensure your graphics driver is up to date. Check the display settings on your computer to ensure the correct resolution and color depth are selected for your monitor.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the source device (e.g., computer) and the display device (e.g., monitor) are powered off.
- Connect the male VGA connector of the Lindy extension cable to the female VGA port on your monitor or display.
- Connect the female VGA connector of the Lindy extension cable to the male VGA port on your computer or source device.
- Secure any thumbscrews on the connectors to ensure a firm connection.
- Power on your display device first, followed by your source device.
Compatibility:
This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard VGA (DE-15) ports, including most desktop computers, laptops, monitors, projectors, and KVM switches that use the VGA interface. It supports resolutions and refresh rates as dictated by the connected devices and the VGA standard itself.
