VGA Cable
VGA is an acronym for Video Graphics Array and is an analogue computer display standard. VGA cables are used to connect display devices such as monitors to your computer. All PC graphics hardware supports the VGA standard at the point before a device-specific driver is loaded.
At one end the VGA cable is connected to a computer graphics card output and at the other to the monitor. Some VGA cables will already be attached physically to the monitor. VGA cables can convert VGA connections to DVI (digital visual interface), extend an already existing cable by lengths of up to 50 metres or split into five separate BNC, or British Naval Connector, wires.
There are a number of VGA cables available. A VGA monitor cable is a cable that connects the VGA itself to a video output port on a computer or other similar device. An S-VGA premium monitor cable is a cable that connects the video output port to the Super-Video Graphics Display (SVGA). An S-VGA Premium Gold Monitor Cables performs a similar function the S-VGA premium monitor cable; it connects a video output port to a Super Video Graphics Array display, but it uses gold-plated connectors in order to achieve improved connectivity and reduce electromagnetic interference – resulting in a better quality display. This type of cable is used when high quality is required or when there is a lot of electromagnetic disturbance.
An S-VGA BNC monitor cable allows you to connect a video output port on a computer or similar device to a display device with 5 BNC connectors. DVI to VGA cables are high quality cables which connect computers with DVI-I output to VGA monitors with inbuilt VGA cables. Modern graphics cards will often have both VGA (analogue) and DVI-I (digital and analogue) connectors. If you want to connect two VGA monitors to a computer which has one of these graphic cards, then this cable is the one for you. The first monitor can be connected to the VGA port and the second can be connected to the DVI port using this cable.
