Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 25ft run reaches ceiling-mounted projectors without an extender or coupler
  • ✓ Gold-plated HD15 contacts on both male ends resist corrosion in wall plates
  • ✓ Captive thumbscrews keep the plug seated in hard-to-reach projector mounts
  • ✓ Handles 1080p and stays backward compatible with older VGA resolutions

Cons

  • ✗ Analog VGA carries no audio - you still need a separate 3.5mm or audio cable
  • ✗ Signal softening and ghosting are common on analog runs this long at 1080p
  • ✗ Male-to-male only, so monitor-to-monitor or extension use needs a coupler
  • ✗ No DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort adapter included for newer GPUs without VGA out

Manufacturer description

The Cables Direct Online 25FT SVGA monitor cable is the long-run VGA link for setups where the display sits across the room rather than on the desk. It carries analog video from a PC, laptop, or media box to a VGA or SVGA monitor, projector, or CCTV display at up to 1080p, and stays backward compatible with lower VGA resolutions, so an older 1024x768 projector and a modern LED panel both work off the same cable. The 25-foot length is the point: it reaches from a conference-room table or classroom lectern to a ceiling-mounted projector without an extender or a daisy chain of couplers. Both…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 25-foot VGA cable still do 1080p?

The cable is rated for 1080p Full HD and is backward compatible with lower VGA modes. Analog signal quality does degrade over distance, so at 25 feet expect some softening on fine text compared with a short run; shorter cables are sharper if your gear is close together.

Does this cable carry audio to the projector?

No. VGA is a video-only analog standard on 15 pins, so sound needs a separate cable - typically a 3.5mm audio line from your laptop headphone jack to the projector or display input.

Is it male to male or male to female?

Both ends are male HD15 connectors, designed to plug into the VGA ports on a computer, laptop, projector, or monitor. It is not an extension cable; joining two together requires a female-to-female VGA coupler.

Will this work with a modern laptop that has no VGA port?

Only with a separate adapter. The cable itself is VGA-to-VGA and includes no USB-C, HDMI, or DisplayPort converter, so a port-free laptop needs an active adapter that outputs VGA before this cable connects.
