Technical Overview
This cable uses a DVI-A analog video connector on one end and an HD-15 VGA connector on the other, both male gender, enabling direct connections between DVI output devices and VGA input displays. The 17-pin DVI-A and 15-pin HD-15 connectors are engineered for precise mating and stable video transmission.
The 28 AWG wire gauge supports robust analog signal handling, minimizing attenuation over the 10-foot distance. The cable is manufactured with molded strain relief at both ends to prevent cable damage from bending or pulling, extending its operational lifespan in active environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, 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.
