FAQs

What is the maximum resolution supported by this cable?

This cable supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (HD 1080p) and 1080p video modes.

Is this cable active or passive?

This is a passive VGA cable, meaning it does not require external power or signal conversion. It relies on the signals provided by the connected devices.

Can I use this cable with DVI or HDMI ports?

No, this is a dedicated VGA (D-Sub) cable and is only compatible with VGA ports on both the source device and the display. Adapters may be required for other connection types.

What does 'fully wired' mean for a VGA cable?

'Fully wired' means all pins on the VGA connector are connected through the cable. This ensures better signal integrity and clarity, particularly important for higher resolutions and data transmission.

Why is double shielding important?

Double shielding helps to protect the signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This reduces noise, crosstalk, and potential signal degradation, resulting in a cleaner picture.

What is the cable jacket material?

The cable jacket material is Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a common and durable material for cable insulation.

Does this cable have ferrite beads?

No, this specific model does not feature ferrite beads, but it is magnetically shielded and uses a coaxial design for interference reduction.

Troubleshooting

No signal or blank screen

Verify both ends of the VGA cable are securely connected to the PC and monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct VGA input source. Restart both the computer and the monitor.

Flickering or distorted image

Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the ports. If possible, test with another VGA cable to rule out cable failure. Ensure magnetic shielding is not obstructed.

Poor color quality or 'ghosting'

This cable uses coaxial construction for superior color, but ensure the source resolution is supported (up to 1080p). Check graphics card settings. If the issue persists, the source device or display may be the cause.

Loose connection

If your VGA ports have thumbscrews, tighten them gently to secure the cable. If not, ensure the connector is fully pushed in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides crystal clear images and eliminates ghosting thanks to coaxial construction.
  • Double shielding effectively reduces noise and interference.
  • Fully wired design supports high-resolution imaging and data transmission.
  • Molded connectors add durability and strain relief.
  • Magnetically shielded for signal integrity.

Cons

  • Fixed 5-meter length may be excessive for short-distance needs.
  • VGA is an older analog standard, potentially limiting maximum resolution compared to digital interfaces.
  • May not be suitable for modern devices lacking VGA ports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both your PC and monitor have a VGA (D-Sub) port.
  2. Connect one end of the cable to the VGA output port on your PC.
  3. Connect the other end to the VGA input port on your monitor or display.
  4. If the connectors do not secure with screws, ensure they are firmly pushed in.
  5. Power on your devices. The cable is Plug and Play and requires no driver installation.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with any PC, laptop, or graphics card featuring a standard VGA (D-Sub) output.
  • Compatible with any monitor, projector, or display featuring a standard VGA (D-Sub) input.
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (HD 1080p) and 1080p video modes.

Care:

  • Avoid tightly coiling the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Avoid using liquids.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
