50 ft VGA extension cable

The StarTech MXT101HQ_50 extends a VGA or SVGA monitor link by fifty feet using a 15-pin HD15 male-to-female connection. It is built for installers and IT teams who need to bridge longer runs between a PC and a display without adding active electronics. The 28 AWG coaxial construction targets signal integrity at extended lengths.

Signal quality on long runs

A ferrite core suppresses EMI interference that can degrade analogue video over distance. The coax design supports high-resolution output up to 1920 x 1200 on compatible monitors such as the Asus VS247H-P, ViewSonic VA2246M-LED, BenQ GW2450, LG E2442V-BN and Samsung PX2370. Passive operation means no external power is required.

Not for digital-only or short-link needs

This cable does not convert VGA to HDMI, DisplayPort or DVI-D, so systems lacking an analogue VGA output cannot use it. Buyers needing runs beyond fifty feet or requiring digital signalling should consider active fibre or extender kits instead. The male-to-female pinout also makes it unsuitable as a direct PC-to-monitor lead without an existing cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 50 ft VGA extension cable without bending the 15 pin HD15 connectors?

Route the cable loosely before tightening the thumbscrews on each 15 pin HD15 connector; sharp bends near the moulded strain relief can crack the 28 AWG coax conductors inside.

What maintenance will the ferrite core on this 50 ft VGA cable need over time?

Wipe the ferrite core with a dry cloth if dust builds up; the core is moulded onto the cable and has no moving parts, so no replacement is required.

At what resolution does signal degradation appear first on a 50 ft run of 28 AWG VGA cable?

The manufacturer rates the cable for 1920x1200 and above at 50 ft; pushing higher resolutions or refresh rates beyond that spec is where degradation typically shows first.
