VGA Cables: Reliable Connections for Legacy Displays
Introduction to VGA Cables
VGA (Video Graphics Array) cables are a type of analog cable commonly used to connect computers, laptops, and other devices to monitors, projectors, and displays with VGA ports. While newer digital interfaces like HDMI and DisplayPort have gained popularity, VGA cables remain a reliable and widely-used option, especially for legacy equipment and older devices.
Also known as HD15 cables, VGA cables feature a distinctive 15-pin connector at each end, allowing for the transmission of analog video signals. These cables are designed to support resolutions up to 640x480 and are commonly used in various settings, including offices, schools, and home entertainment systems.
Connectors and Specifications
VGA cables come in two main varieties: male-to-male and male-to-female. The male-to-male cables are used for direct connections between a computer or video source and a display, while the male-to-female cables serve as extension cables, allowing you to increase the distance between the source and the display.
- Connectors: HD15 Male to Male or HD15 Male to Female
- Conductor: 28 AWG x 14C, shielded with drain wire, OD 6.0mm
- Cable Color: Typically beige
- Resolution: Up to 640x480
- RoHS Compliance: All CableLeader VGA cables are RoHS compliant, ensuring they meet strict safety and environmental standards.
Applications and Usage
VGA cables are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including:
- Connecting computers to monitors, projectors, and other displays with VGA ports
- Extending the reach of existing VGA cables for added flexibility
- Connecting legacy devices or equipment that lacks newer digital interfaces
- Providing a backup connection option in case of compatibility issues with digital interfaces
While VGA cables offer reliable analog video transmission, they do not support audio signals. For applications requiring both video and audio, you may need to use additional cables or adapters.

What is a VGA cable?
VGA cables (Video Graphics Array) carry analog video signals and are typically designated for supporting video resolutions up to and including 640 x 480. While VGA is an older technology, it is still used in some legacy devices and extension cables for connecting computers to monitors, projectors, and other displays with VGA ports.
Are there 2 types of VGA cables?
Yes, there are two types of VGA cables: 14-pin and 15-pin. 14-pin cables will work in most applications, but 15-pin cables may be required for wider display compatibility. Our VGA cables are the standard 15-pin variety for maximum compatibility.
Is A VGA cable better than HDMI?
No, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is generally considered superior to VGA. HDMI can carry both digital video and audio signals, while VGA is limited to analog video only. HDMI also supports higher resolutions and encrypts data with HDCP, providing better video quality and security. However, VGA may still be necessary for connecting to older devices without HDMI ports.
Why is VGA not used?
As modern technologies like HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C offer digital connectivity with higher resolutions and bandwidth, the analog VGA technology has become obsolete for most computer, projector, and TV manufacturers. However, VGA ports and cables are still used in legacy equipment and certain commercial or industrial applications where an analog video interface is required.
