sakose VGA-6 6 ft VGA Male to Male Cable with Dual Ferrites

What this cable does

The sakose VGA-6 is a six-foot VGA male-to-male cable built for analogue video links between a computer and a monitor or projector. Dual ferrite cores and double braid-and-foil shielding suppress interference on the three coaxial and four-and-a-half twisted-pair conductors. The 28 AWG wiring meets the UL 2919 low-voltage computer cable standard. The black jacket and two connectors complete a straightforward replacement or extension lead.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This cable suits anyone needing a direct VGA-to-VGA connection up to six feet, such as linking a legacy desktop, laptop docking station or KVM switch to a VGA display. It is not for buyers who need digital signals such as HDMI, DisplayPort or DVI-D, nor for runs longer than the supplied length without an active booster. Installations requiring plenum-rated jackets or locking screws not present on these connectors should also consider alternatives.

Capacity and headroom

The six-foot length handles typical desk-to-monitor distances with enough slack for routing behind furniture. Signal integrity holds for standard resolutions carried over analogue VGA, but very high refresh rates or extremely long cable runs beyond this length will exceed the passive cable's capability. The dual ferrites and double shielding give headroom against nearby power cords or transformers, yet the fixed length means you cannot extend the reach without adding couplers or active gear.
