VGA cable ShiverPeaks BS78045-5 5 m

The ShiverPeaks BS78045-5 5 m VGA cable is a 5‑metre video connection lead with two standard 15‑pin VGA (D‑Sub) connectors designed to transmit analog RGB signals between devices. It provides a straightforward wired link for displays, projectors, and video cards that support the VGA interface. The cable’s length allows flexible placement of equipment while keeping a direct, wired signal path for compatible devices.

Advantages

This VGA cable offers a reliable analog video connection with a fixed 5 m length that suits medium-range setups. The two standard D‑Sub connectors ensure wide compatibility with legacy and many current display devices. The cable is built for continuous use, with shielding and connector housings intended to minimise signal degradation and mechanical wear during repeated plugging and positioning.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to VGA monitors
• Linking laptops or PCs to projectors for presentations
• Extending the reach between VGA output devices and displays in meeting rooms or classrooms

Key specifications

• Connector type: 15‑pin VGA (D‑Sub) male to male
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Signal type: analog RGB video
• Typical usage: video transmission between VGA‑compatible devices
• Construction: shielded cable with molded connector housings for mechanical protection

How to use

To use the VGA cable, insert each 15‑pin connector into the VGA ports of the source device (computer or video output) and the display device (monitor or projector). Tighten the connector screws by hand to secure the connection and reduce the risk of loosening. Select the appropriate input on the display device and set the video output resolution on the source to a resolution supported by the monitor or projector. For best analog image quality, use the shortest practical cable length and confirm the source and display settings match the desired refresh rate and resolution.

Recommendations

For stable performance, route the cable away from large power cables and strong electromagnetic sources, and avoid sharp bends. When using the cable in fixed installations, ensure connectors are fully seated and screws are tightened; for frequent reconnections, inspect the connectors and shielding periodically for wear.
