Know before you buy
This cable is compatible with both PC and Mac systems. It is designed to connect a VGA-equipped device to an analog DVI display, so ensure your source device has a VGA port and your monitor or projector has a DVI-A or DVI-I input.
No, this cable is specifically wired for the opposite direction: connecting a VGA source to an analog DVI display. It will not function if you are trying to send a signal from a DVI computer to a VGA monitor.
This cable supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. It is suitable for standard office and home display setups within that resolution range.
No, this is a video-only cable. DVI and VGA standards do not carry audio signals, so you will need a separate cable if your setup requires sound.
Gold-plated contacts are used to prevent corrosion and ensure optimal conductivity. This helps maintain a stable, high-quality connection between your devices over time.
Yes, the cable features tri-shielding, including an undermold and braid shield. This construction is designed to protect your signal from electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, which can otherwise cause screen flickering or distortion.
