StarTech.com 10 ft. (3 m) VGA to VGA Cable

Bottom line: The StarTech.com 10 ft. VGA to VGA Cable: Triple-coaxial plus twisted-pair wiring keeps the picture clean over the full 10 ft; main trade-off: analog VGA only, so no audio and no HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort device support.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Triple-coaxial plus twisted-pair wiring keeps the picture clean over the full 10 ft
  • ✓ Impedance matched at 75 Ohms for full brightness and accurate color
  • ✓ Ferrite core suppresses EMI from nearby power supplies and unshielded gear
  • ✓ Molded ends with strain relief resist the connector-pull failures cheap cables have

Cons

  • ✗ Analog VGA only, so no audio and no HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort device support
  • ✗ 10 ft is a fixed length; shorter desk setups will have slack to manage
  • ✗ Thick coaxial construction is stiffer and harder to route than thin generic cables
  • ✗ Thumbscrews must be hand-tightened or the connector works loose in a moved case

Manufacturer description

The StarTech.com MXT101MMHQ10 is a 10-foot (3 m) VGA cable built for anyone still running an analog monitor, a retro PC, a KVM switch, or a projector that only speaks HD15. Both ends are HD15 male, so it drops straight into a graphics card output and a VGA display without adapters. Inside, StarTech.com uses triple-coaxial conductors plus twisted-pair wiring and impedance matching at 75 Ohms, which is the part that matters for signal integrity: it keeps brightness and color saturation intact over the full 10-foot run instead of washing out the image. A ferrite core suppresses EMI from nearby…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this VGA cable work with a CRT or older retro PC monitor?

Yes. It is HD15 male to HD15 male, the standard analog VGA connector used by CRTs, early LCDs, and vintage PC graphics cards, so it connects directly with no adapter.

What resolution can the StarTech.com MXT101MMHQ10 handle?

StarTech.com rates it for high-resolution monitors at 1024x768 and above. The triple-coaxial wiring and 75 Ohm impedance matching are what preserve the signal at those resolutions over 10 feet.

Does this cable carry audio?

No. VGA is a video-only analog standard, so you will need a separate audio cable from your PC's line-out or an alternate audio path to your speakers.

Can I use it to connect a laptop to an HDMI TV?

Not by itself. This is a VGA-to-VGA cable, so both devices need HD15 ports. Connecting to an HDMI display requires a separate active VGA-to-HDMI converter.

Is 10 feet long enough to reach a wall-mounted projector?

Ten feet (3 m) covers most desk-to-projector and desk-to-second-monitor runs. Measure your path including any cable management route first, since VGA signal quality degrades on longer runs.
