VGA cables are extension cables that transmit video signals between PCs or laptops and displays or projectors. They are also known as VGA extension, computer cable, monitor cable, and VGA video cable. These cables extend the distance a PC can separate from a display and can generally allow users to view the display up to 100 feet from the computer. For distances over 100 feet and up to 1000 feet, the VGA over Cat5 Video Extender and the UTP VGA Video Splitter Extender are recommended as VGA cables can be expensive. The construction of VGA computer cables ensures that they provide excellent image quality at 1600 x 1200 resolution without ghosting or image degradation. These video cables are compatible with PC, SUN or MAC systems with VGA video connectors.
Manufactured with coaxial and twisted pair signal lines plus ferrite cores at each end, these cables provide optimal video performance. Copper braiding and aluminized Mylar foil are used to protect VGA connectors. The gold-plated pins on these connectors allow for noise suppression, while the triple-shielding feature ensures no data loss. These cables are manufactured with multicultural technology. These cables are UL tested and certified and are available in lengths ranging from 3 feet to 100 feet. VGA video cable or monitor cables are available with male to male and male to female connectors. These connectors have 15 pins in three rows of five pins each and are found on most video cards, computer monitors, cameras, projectors, and HDTVs that support VGA connections. Its main job is to transport the analog component of video signals.
With changes in technology, DVI cables are slowly replacing VGA cable. However, older versions of graphics cards still use the 15-pin VGA interface to connect the video graphics controller and monitor. These cables are also much cheaper in price than those that can also transmit digital signals and are used in network applications. VGA cables are great to use in existing applications as a cost-effective solution instead of replacing old setups with digital technology to extend the life of your projects.
