Monitor cables

Featured Replies

Hi everyone... I'm confused about VGA and SVGA specifications when it comes to monitor cables and extension cables for a multi monitor FS setup. In the questions that follow I will use "VGA" to mean whichever is more recent VGA or SVGA. Q1) I assume that all modern CRT and TFT displays are SVGA, however I have seen some cables advertised as either VGA or SVGA (these are more expensive). Will my choice of VGA or SVGA cable effect the allowable display resolutions or over all image quality?Q2a) What characteristics of a monitor cable make it more resistant to interference (is it as simple as having a think cable)?Q2b) What is roughly the longest length of monitor cable that I can use before I will likely get interference effects? Q3) I have a TFT monitor with a standard 15pin VGA socket. My graphics card has DVI sockets, so is there any advantage to using a DVI to VGA cable rather than a VGA to VGA?Q4) Will the VGA signal be transmitted regardless of how many cable gender changes you use?

Hi.Q1-NO, as long as you get a 15 pin connectors, unless you have a need for special matching.Q2a)-Most cables are shielded and impedance matched. The gauge and type of the conductor will help in the length and quality of transmission.Q2b)-Depends on the Transmit>Cable>Receive configuration. I
