Manufacturer description

The Cable Matters VGA Extension Cable solves a specific problem: your existing VGA cable doesn't reach. This 6ft HD15 male-to-female extender adds length to a monitor cord you already own, whether you're routing video across a room, reaching a projector, or extending a KVM switch connection tucked behind a desk. Read the connector spec before you buy. This is a male-to-female extension, not a male-to-male cable, so it will not connect a PC directly to a monitor on its own, and it is not compatible with DB9 serial ports. Video support runs up to 1080p, covering 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Cable Matters VGA Extension Cable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the display & crt accessories category. Cable Matters's display & crt accessories lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for display & crt accessories of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this to connect my computer to a monitor?

Not on its own. This is a male-to-female extension cable, meant to add length to a VGA cable you already have. A direct PC-to-monitor connection needs a VGA male-to-male cable, sold separately.

What is the highest resolution this VGA extension supports?

Up to full HD 1080p, including 800x600 SVGA, 1024x768 XGA, 1600x1200 UXGA, and 1920x1200 WUXGA on LCD and LED-lit monitors.

Will this work with a DB9 serial port?

No. This is a 15-pin DB-15 (HD15) VGA video cable and is not compatible with DB9 serial connections, even though the connector shells look similar.

How does it reduce interference on longer runs?

Dual integrated ferrite cores minimize crosstalk and suppress noise from RFI and EMI, backed by bare copper conductors with foil and braid shielding.

Will it stay attached to my existing cable?

Yes. The female end has hex nuts that mate with the thumbscrews on your existing VGA cable, and the male end uses finger-tightened screws, both with molded strain relief.
