How to use

Align the 15-pin male VGA connector with the female VGA port of the device you wish to extend, then secure the connector using the thumbscrews if present. Plug the female end into the existing VGA cable or device output that you want to extend. Ensure both ends are firmly seated to reduce the chance of image distortion. For optimal results, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m extension for short-distance VGA signal extensions only; for longer runs or higher resolutions consider active or shielded solutions to preserve image quality. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and route it to avoid tight loops or kinks.
