An SVGA Monitor Extension Cable, also sometimes referred to as a VGA Monitor Extension Cable, is a cable that allows you to extend the connection between your computer and monitor by up to 10 meters (approximately 33 feet). It uses a standard 15-pin VGA connector on both ends.
Here’s a breakdown of the cable’s features:
- SVGA: Stands for Super Video Graphics Array, a type of VGA cable that can support higher resolutions than standard VGA. However, for very high resolutions (above 1080p) you might want to consider a DVI or HDMI cable instead.
- Monitor Extension: This cable is specifically designed to extend an existing VGA connection, rather than being a standard VGA cable for direct connection.
- 10 meters: This is the length of the cable, allowing you to place your monitor up to 10 meters away from your computer.
Things to consider when buying a SVGA Monitor Extension Cable:
- Resolution: While SVGA can support higher resolutions than standard VGA, for very high resolutions (above 1080p) you might want to consider a DVI or HDMI cable instead.
- Signal quality: Longer cables can weaken the signal, so if you’re running very high resolutions or experiencing signal quality issues, a shorter cable might be better.
- Construction quality: Look for a cable with good shielding to minimize interference and ensure a clear signal.
