Monoprice 106374 VGA Male to Female Cable 15-pin 30AWG 32AWG

VGA extension cable for monitors

This Monoprice 106374 cable extends a VGA link between a computer and a monitor. It carries analog VGA and extended VGA resolutions through a male DE-15 connector on one end and a female DE-15 connector on the other. Gold-plated contacts and ferrite cores at each end resist corrosion and suppress EMI and RFI interference. The slim construction suits desktop setups where a longer reach is needed without signal degradation.

Conductor gauges and shielding limits

The three colour lines use 30AWG coaxial conductors while the remaining conductors are 32AWG stranded wire. This gauge combination handles typical VGA resolutions but is not rated for high-bandwidth digital signals such as DVI or HDMI. The RG-59 75 ohm coaxial structure and overall shielding protect against external noise, yet the cable remains an analog-only link. Buyers needing digital video or audio transmission must choose a different interface.

Check port gender and device spacing

Verify that your source has a female VGA port and your display has a male VGA cable attached, or vice versa, so the male-to-female orientation matches. Measure the distance between the two ports to confirm the cable length is sufficient without tension. Ensure no adjacent connectors or chassis features block the DE-15 shell or the ferrite cores. This cable adds no audio channels, so separate audio cabling is required if sound is needed.
