Direct connection for Mini DisplayPort sources

This 15 ft cable links a Mini DisplayPort output on a Mac or video card straight to a VGA monitor input without an extra adapter. Male-to-male connectors and 32AWG conductors carry the signal in a single run. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable mating cycles. The white jacket suits clean desk routing.

Analog ceiling and shielding limits

The cable converts digital Mini DisplayPort signals to analog VGA, so the maximum supported resolution is 1920x1080p at 60 Hz. Shielding blocks stray RFI and EMI emissions that can degrade picture quality on long runs. No audio channel is carried because VGA is video-only. Active conversion is built into the connector heads, requiring no external power.

Replaces separate adapter plus cable combos

Users who previously paired a Mini DisplayPort to VGA dongle with a standard VGA cable can consolidate to this single 15 ft assembly. The jump is worth it when cable management, signal integrity or port clearance matter. It does not serve DisplayPort or HDMI inputs, nor does it support resolutions above Full HD. Builders needing longer digital runs should consider active fiber or copper DisplayPort cables instead.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a shorter or longer cable than the 15 ft length for my desk setup?

Choose the 15 ft cable if the distance between your Mini DisplayPort source and the VGA monitor is close to that length; a shorter run reduces clutter while a longer one adds slack for routing around furniture.

Will the 1920x1080p resolution claim hold up on my 1080p monitor at 60 Hz?

Yes, the cable supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080p with full digital-to-analog conversion, so a standard 1080p 60 Hz display will work at its native resolution.

Does the Mini DisplayPort to VGA interface limit the maximum refresh rate or colour depth?

The VGA connector carries an analog signal converted from the Mini DisplayPort output, capping practical use at 1080p resolution; higher refresh rates or deeper colour depths are not supported over this VGA link.
