Extension cable for VGA monitors

This three-foot VGA extension cable carries an analogue video signal from a graphics card or KVM switch to a monitor. The HD15 male-to-female connectors add reach without replacing the existing cable, making it suited to desks where the display sits farther from the source than the stock lead allows.

Signal quality over distance

Triple-coaxial plus twisted-pair construction keeps the red, green and blue channels separated, while 75 Ohm impedance matching preserves brightness and colour accuracy at 1024x768 and above. A moulded ferrite core suppresses high-frequency EMI that can cause ghosting or jitter on longer analogue runs.

Plug-and-play installation

The slim HD15 shells fit side-by-side on dense I/O panels and the thumbscrews secure the connection without tools. Buyers who need a longer run or a different connector gender should check the required length and port types before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 75-ohm impedance-matched design produce any heat or noise when the cable runs all day?

No. A passive VGA extension cable has no active electronics, so it generates no heat and makes no sound regardless of how long it is used.

What port must my monitor or graphics card already have for this HD15 male-to-female cable to connect?

Your display and video source each need a standard high-density DB15 (HD15) VGA port; the cable simply extends that existing connection.

Will the triple-coaxial plus twisted-pair construction and ferrite core work reliably with an older 1024x768 monitor?

Yes. The cable is rated for 1024x768 and above, so it fully supports that resolution and the ferrite core helps suppress interference on legacy hardware.
