Microconnect 68875 serial cable Transparent 1.5 m USB Type-A VGA (D-Sub)

The Microconnect 68875 is a 1.5 m transparent serial cable with a USB Type-A connector on one end and a VGA (D-Sub) connector on the other. Designed for straightforward physical connection between devices with USB and VGA interfaces, the cable is lightweight at approximately 70 g and manufactured to meet RoHS environmental standards. The transparent jacket makes internal conductors visible and helps with cable identification in mixed-cable setups.

Advantages

The Microconnect 68875 combines a compact 1.5 m length with a low weight, providing a balance between reach and manageability. Its transparent outer jacket allows visual inspection of the cable core and shielding, while the USB Type-A and VGA (D-Sub) connectors offer compatibility with a range of legacy and common devices. RoHS compliance indicates reduced hazardous substances in materials, supporting environmentally conscious installations and disposal.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices that use a USB Type-A port to equipment with a VGA (D-Sub) interface where a serial cable form factor is required
• Temporary setups and test benches where a short, visible cable is preferred
• Environments where lightweight and compact cabling reduces strain and clutter

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connector 1: USB Type-A
• Connector 2: VGA (D-Sub)
• Weight: 0.07 kg
• Colour: Transparent
• Compliance: RoHS certified

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off or in a safe state for connection. Insert the USB Type-A connector into the host USB port and align the VGA (D-Sub) connector with the VGA input on the target device, securing any screws if present on the VGA connector. After connections are made, power on the devices and verify communication or signal transmission as required by the connected equipment. Disconnect by reversing the procedure, taking care to support connectors rather than pulling on the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its stated length to avoid signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting to preserve conductor integrity. Store the cable coiled loosely and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources for best performance.
