Connect older VGA outputs to analog DVI monitors

This adapter links a standard 15-pin VGA or SVGA video-card output to a DVI-A female port, letting you drive an analog-only DVI display from legacy graphics hardware. It is built for users who need a simple gender-change connection without active signal conversion. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for a reliable mating cycle. The product is new and carries Monoprice model number 102397.

Verify your monitor accepts DVI analog signals

Before ordering, confirm that the target display explicitly supports DVI-A or DVI-I analog input by checking its manual or specification sheet. A monitor with a DVI-D digital-only port will not function with this passive adapter. The video source must also output an analog VGA signal; digital-only outputs cannot drive this device. No driver or firmware update can enable compatibility where the hardware lacks analog pins.

Lifetime warranty covers the adapter itself

Monoprice includes a lifetime warranty on the cable assembly, so a defective connector or wiring fault can be claimed directly with the manufacturer. The bundle contains only the adapter; no driver disc, mounting hardware or additional cables are supplied. The warranty does not extend to the monitor, video card or any other component in the signal chain.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables?

The box contains the 102397 adapter with a gold-plated 15-pin VGA male connector on one side and a DVI-A female port on the other. You will need your existing VGA cable and a DVI-A cable to complete the link.

How do I know if this adapter suits my monitor?

It only works with displays that accept an analog DVI signal. Check the monitor manual for DVI-A or DVI-I support; pure digital DVI-D monitors will not function with this unit.

What signal quality can I expect when the adapter is connected?

The gold-plated contacts preserve the analog VGA signal through to the DVI-A input without conversion, so image quality matches the source card's maximum analog output.
