Product Features
Technical Overview
This VGA cable utilizes 28 AWG conductors with full shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense cable management scenarios. The ferrite core at each connector suppresses high-frequency noise that can degrade analog video quality, particularly important when running cables near power sources or other signal-generating equipment.
The HD-15 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and consistent electrical performance over repeated mating cycles. Each connector incorporates molded strain relief that prevents cable flexing from damaging internal conductors, extending the cable's operational lifespan in frequently reconfigured setups.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines professional-grade construction with practical installation features that address common video connectivity challenges in business environments. The male-to-female configuration serves as both an extension cable and direct connection solution, eliminating the need for separate adapters when connecting displays to video sources with existing VGA cables.
Interference Protection
Dual ferrite beads and full cable shielding work together to preserve signal clarity by filtering out electromagnetic interference that causes ghosting, flickering, or color distortion in analog video signals.
- Ferrite beads suppress high-frequency noise
- Shielding protects against EMI/RFI
- Maintains signal integrity over 20-foot distance
Installation Flexibility
The CL2/CSA FT4/CMP jacket rating allows this cable to be installed in walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces where standard cables cannot be used, providing compliance with building codes for commercial installations.
- Suitable for in-wall installation
- Plenum-rated for air handling spaces
- Meets commercial building code requirements
Deployment / Use Cases
This VGA cable serves as a versatile connectivity solution for extending analog video signals in conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage installations, and point-of-sale systems where legacy VGA interfaces remain in service. The 20-foot length accommodates typical ceiling projector mounts, wall-mounted displays, and workstation configurations that require distance between source and display.
In educational environments, this cable connects classroom computers to ceiling-mounted projectors while meeting fire safety standards for institutional buildings. For digital signage deployments, it provides reliable connectivity between media players and display panels in retail stores, airports, and corporate lobbies where cables often run through walls or above drop ceilings.

User Manual
FAQ
What devices is this VGA cable compatible with?
This Black Box VGA cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard HD-15 VGA port, including desktop computers, laptops, projectors, monitors, and specialized video equipment. The cable supports Display Data Channel (DDC) for automatic monitor detection with compatible systems, ensuring plug-and-play functionality without manual configuration.
Can this cable be installed inside walls or ceilings?
Yes, this cable features a CL2/CSA FT4/CMP-rated PVC jacket that meets building code requirements for in-wall and plenum space installations. The CL2 rating indicates it's suitable for residential in-wall use, while CSA FT4 and CMP ratings certify it for commercial plenum spaces where fire resistance and low smoke emission are critical safety considerations.
How does the ferrite core improve video quality?
The ferrite beads integrated at each connector suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference that can cause visual artifacts in analog video signals. This protection is particularly valuable when cables run near power sources, fluorescent lighting, or other electronic equipment that generates electromagnetic noise, ensuring cleaner signal transmission over the 20-foot cable length.
What is the advantage of male-to-female connectors?
The male-to-female HD-15 configuration allows this cable to function as both a direct connection and an extension cable. You can connect it directly between a video source and display, or use it to extend an existing VGA cable without needing separate adapters. This versatility simplifies cable management in installations where distance requirements may change or where equipment repositioning is frequent.
What warranty does Black Box provide for this cable?
Black Box backs this VGA cable with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects the cable's professional-grade construction and the manufacturer's confidence in its long-term reliability for commercial and institutional applications where continuous operation is essential.
