Product Information

Full details

This 1-meter black kenable VGA cable is designed for users needing to connect a PC tower to a monitor or a PC/laptop to a TV, offering a clear visual signal. Its primary benefit is a secure and stable connection thanks to screw terminals and integrated ferrites that minimize interference. However, it's important to note that this cable only transmits video; a separate audio cable is required for sound.

FAQs

Does this cable support audio?

No, this VGA cable only transmits video signals. A separate audio cable is required for sound.

What devices can I connect with this cable?

You can connect devices that have standard 15-pin VGA (D-Sub) ports, such as PC towers, older monitors, projectors, and some televisions.

Can I use this cable with my new HDMI monitor?

No, this is a VGA cable and is not directly compatible with HDMI ports. You would need an active HDMI to VGA adapter if your source device has HDMI output and your monitor has VGA input, or vice-versa.

How do I ensure a secure connection?

Use the screw terminals located on each end of the VGA connector to firmly secure the cable to the corresponding port on your devices. Tighten them by hand.

What is the purpose of the ferrites on the cable?

The ferrites are choke-like components that help to suppress high-frequency noise, reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and preventing signal degradation that can cause picture distortion.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

This cable supports standard VGA and SVGA resolutions. Higher resolutions may be supported depending on the capabilities of the connected devices, but optimal performance is generally seen at resolutions common for VGA technology.

How do I clean the connectors?

Gently wipe the metal pins and surrounding plastic with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, as they can damage the connectors.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on the monitor

Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source. Check that the computer's display output is configured for VGA and that the resolution is supported. Test with another known working VGA cable if possible.

Flickering or distorted image

Check the cable connections for looseness. Ensure the screw terminals are tightened. Verify that the cable is not routed too close to power cables or other sources of interference. The integrated ferrites should help, but extreme interference may still cause issues. Try a different cable if the problem persists.

Poor picture quality or washed-out colors

Ensure the VGA port on both devices is clean and free of dust. Check the display settings on your computer to optimize resolution and color settings. If the issue is with an older device, the port or internal components may be degrading.

Loose connection at the port

Tighten the screw terminals on the VGA connector firmly by hand. If the port on the device is damaged or worn, it may not hold the connection securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a stable video connection with screw terminals.
  • Ferrite cores reduce signal interference for a clearer picture.
  • Standard VGA connectors ensure wide compatibility with older hardware.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Compact 1-meter length minimizes cable management issues.

Cons

  • Only transmits video; requires a separate audio cable.
  • Limited to VGA/SVGA signal, not suitable for modern high-resolution digital displays.
  • 1-meter length may be too short for some advanced setups.
  • Requires devices to have matching 15-pin VGA ports.
  • Not suitable for connecting devices that only support newer video interfaces like HDMI or DisplayPort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the source device (e.g., PC tower, laptop) and the display device (e.g., monitor, TV) have a 15-pin VGA (D-Sub) port.
  2. Align the male connector of the cable with the female port on the source device and gently push it in.
  3. Use the screw terminals on the connector to secure the cable firmly to the port. Tighten by hand; do not overtighten.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the display device using the same method.
  5. If audio is required, connect a separate audio cable from the source device's audio output to the display device's audio input.
  6. Power on both devices. The display should automatically detect the video signal.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with any device featuring a 15-pin VGA (D-Sub) female port, including most older PC towers, monitors, projectors, and some televisions.
  • Supports standard VGA and SVGA resolutions.
  • Important: This cable does NOT support digital signals and is not compatible with HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI ports without an appropriate adapter (sold separately).

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them if dusty.
  • Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture when not in use.
  • Periodically check the screw terminals for tightness.
