The IBM-PC SVGA Video cable is used
to connect a VGA or SVGA card or
monitor to each other or to a data
switch. Both ends are a high-density
3-row male 15-pin DSUB connector; the
male-to-male VGA connector is common
for two devices that do not have built-in
cables.
The cable is made of 75 ohm mini-coax
video wire, using individually shielded
28-gauge coaxial wire. This low signal loss cable
allows lengths of up to 200 feet in most
cases, with good signal strength.
This male VGA to male VGA cable is designed for
connecting video card outputs to monitors directly.
Most modern flatpanel displays require this type of cable.
For monitors and displays that have built-in cables,
you'll need to use a male-to-female VGA extension cable.
If you are running video through a conduit or drywall,
you may want to use a non-terminated VGA cable
with a low-profile connector splice.
