UGREEN 1.5 m VGA/HD15 Male-to-Male Cable (11630)

Overview

The UGREEN 11630 is a 1.5 m VGA cable with a 15-pin HD15 male plug and thumbscrews at each end, for connecting a PC or laptop with a VGA output to a VGA monitor, TV or projector. It carries analogue RGB video with sync at up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p, with the actual sharpness and refresh rate depending on the analogue source, the display and the route. VGA carries video only, so sound needs its own cable.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a desk, classroom or meeting room where the computer and the VGA display sit within 1.5 m of each other.
• The source port must actually output video, and the display input must be enabled and support the chosen timing; a similar-looking connector is not enough.
• It is not a 9-pin DB9 or RS-232 serial cable, and it does not convert HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, USB or network ports.
• Mirror or extended desktop choices are set by the computer’s operating system, not the cable.

Key features

• Up to 1920 x 1200 and 1080p over analogue RGB with sync lines.
• Three coaxial RGB signal paths plus sync wiring.
• Foil and braid shielding with integrated ferrite cores to suppress interference.
• Two thumbscrews on each plug to resist accidental disconnection.
• 28 AWG (wire gauge) copper conductors.
• PVC jacket with plated HD15 contacts.

What else you need

A computer or source with a VGA/HD15 15-pin output and a monitor, TV or projector with a VGA/HD15 input. No software is needed. For speakers or a projector’s sound, add a separate audio cable.

Installation

No installer is needed. Inspect all 15 pins, plug each end into its VGA port, tighten the thumbscrews by hand only, select the input on the display and set the resolution on the computer.

Before you buy

• Video only: use a separate audio connection for speakers or projectors.
• The printed maximum is a ceiling, not a guaranteed refresh rate or identical image quality on every analogue path; the source, graphics hardware, display and every connection between them must share the resolution and refresh rate.
• Indoor use. No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, low-smoke (LSZH) or fire-resistance rating is stated.
• If the image changes when the cable moves, tighten the thumbscrews gently and relieve strain; replace the cable if a conductor or connector is intermittent.
• It cannot improve a weak source, a damaged port or an unsupported display timing.
