Video cable adapter EFB Elektronik K5436.3V2 — 3 m, DVI-A to VGA (D-Sub), black

EFB Elektronik K5436.3V2 is a 3 m video cable adapter designed to convert an analog DVI-A output to a VGA (D-Sub) input. The single black cable provides a direct analog signal path between devices that support DVI-A and VGA interfaces, enabling connection of legacy graphics cards, workstations or other equipment to VGA monitors, projectors and display panels without requiring active signal conversion.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward passive conversion for analog video signals, minimizing signal loss over the 3 m length. Its DVI-A to VGA connectors are compatible with standard DVI-A and VGA ports and the black jacket ensures a discreet appearance in office and AV setups. No external power supply or drivers are required for operation when both devices provide compatible analog signalling.

Suitable for

• Connecting a DVI-A-equipped graphics card or device to a VGA monitor or projector
• Legacy PC and workstation video output to standard VGA displays
• Temporary AV setups in meeting rooms or classrooms requiring analog video

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector 1: DVI-A (analog)
• Connector 2: VGA (D-Sub, 15-pin analog)
• Product colour: Black
• Signal type: Analog video

How to use

Attach the DVI-A connector to the DVI-A output on the source device and secure the VGA (D-Sub) connector to the display or projector using the threaded fasteners. Ensure both devices are powered off or on according to the manufacturer's guidance before connecting. After physical connection, power on the display and source device; select the appropriate input on the display if necessary. Resolution and image quality depend on the capabilities of the source and display and the analog signal path.

Recommendations

Use this passive adapter only when both source and display support analog signalling. For digital-only outputs (such as DVI-D or HDMI) an active converter is required. Keep cable runs within the 3 m length to preserve signal integrity and avoid routing near strong electromagnetic interference sources to reduce potential image degradation.
