Extension cable for VGA monitors

The StarTech MXT101HQ extends a VGA connection by six feet using a 15-pin HD15 male-to-female layout. It is built for users who need extra reach between a computer and a display without moving either device. The moulded ends include strain relief to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging. The cable ships new and carries RoHS and WEEE environmental certifications.

75 Ohm impedance for signal quality

The cable is impedance-matched at 75 Ohms to preserve full brightness and vibrant colour at resolutions of 1024x768 and above. This single electrical characteristic determines whether the extension will maintain picture integrity over the full length. If a system requires a different impedance or a higher resolution ceiling, this cable will not meet that need.

Ferrite core blocks EMI

A built-in ferrite core suppresses electromagnetic interference that can degrade the video signal, especially near power supplies or other cables. Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact over time. The package contains only the extension cable itself; no adapters, drivers or mounting hardware are included.

Questions about this item

How does the 1024 x 768 resolution rating translate when the cable is connected to a monitor?

The cable is impedance-matched at 75 Ohms and shielded with a ferrite core, so it preserves full brightness and colour accuracy at 1024 x 768 and higher resolutions without signal degradation.

What does the 75 Ohm impedance matching actually limit or guarantee in daily use?

It guarantees that the video signal meets the standard VGA impedance, preventing reflections that would cause ghosting or colour shifts, and it supports the stated 1024 x 768 resolution and above.

What physical clearance do the moulded HD15 connectors need behind a PC or monitor?

Each end uses a moulded 15-pin High Density D-Sub shell with built-in strain relief; the male plug inserts into the graphics port and the female jack accepts the monitor cable, adding only the connector body depth.
