Cable Solutions Signature Series High-performance VGA Break-out Cable

Wide selection of lengths, high-capacity VGA connector and your choice of RCA or BNC connectors.  Male or female genders may be selected for each connector.

Description
The VGA-style connector is also known as HD15, HD-15, DB15, DB-15, RGBHV, R/G/B/H/V, RGB/HV, RGB (HV) RGB, and any number of other variations.  For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to them here simply as "VGA connectors".

This is a high-performance breakout cable, used to connect equipment with VGA-style connectors to standard component video equipment or cables.  For example, one might use a short VGA-male/RCA-female break-out cable (like the one pictured at the right) to connect a piece of equipment with a VGA connector to a standard component video cable.

Longer cables can be used as a complete end to end solution.  For example, a VGA-male/RCA-male cable would be ideal for connecting a DVD player with component video outputs to a projector that can accept component video via a VGA connector.

Of course, this cable will not convert signal format or colorspace.  Your display device must be able to accommodate the signal from your source equipment.  We have active converters if you need them.

VGA Connectors
Our VGA connectors have gold-plated pins and a special oversized shielded metal hood.  These connectors are available in both male and female pin genders - choose at the lower right.  These high-capacity connectors are large enough to accommodate full-sized Canare V3-3C component video cable.  This larger cable is a perfect match for Canare's excellent impedance-matched connector system.

RCA Connectors
Impedance matched RCA connectors are very rare.  Impedance-matched inline RCA-female connectors are so rare that that you probably won't find a VGA-to-RCA-female breakout cable assembly design that uses impedance-matched RCA connectors anywhere else.  By maintaining a constant 75 Ohm impedance, ghosting, ringing, signal loss, and other artifacts associated with impedance mismatch are prevented.

BNC Connectors
Impedance-matched BNC connectors are somewhat less rare than their RCA counterparts, but Canare's BNC connectors are certainly among the finest.  They have heavy nickel-plated bodies, beryllium copper contact fingers, and gold-plated pins.  These are impedance-matched 75 Ohm connectors, and cannot be compared to low-cost data-grade 50 Ohm connectors that are found on many inexpensive cables.

High-performance Breakout Setup
As mentioned above, an excellent application for this type of cable would be a short VGA-male/RCA-female break-out cable (like the one pictured at the right) to connect a piece of equipment with a VGA connector to a standard component video cable.

Since BNC connectors are both electrically and mechanically superior to RCA connectors (particularly non-Canare RCA connectors), if you do not already have component video cables to complete your breakout setup, you may want to consider a breakout cable setup with BNC connectors.

Either way, RCA or BNC, if you  need cables to complete your break-out setup, please check our cables page.  We offer color-coded cables separately, in any combination of BNC, RCA, or "F" type connectors, so you can have an elegant, adaptorless hook-up between just about any two pieces of equipment.  If you don't find what you need, or if you need some help, please feel free to contact us.

Why Cable Solutions?
Customer service is our first priority.  We do our best to help you find the best solutions for your particular application.  We're enthusiasts too, so we know what it's like to wait for cables to hook up new gear.  We stock all of the components needed to build all of the items listed on our site, so we are able to do something that most cable shops do not - we build and ship most orders within one business day. We also know how important it is to be able to get a response when you need help, so you'll often find us working long hours in an effort to get you the answers that you need.  It takes good people to do outstanding work...the kind of workmanship you want for your custom cables.  It usually costs more to keep good people, but the importance of high-quality workmanship is second only to the importance of  superior service.  I'll let you figure out for yourself why paying too little for a cable can turn out to be just as bad as paying too much. Our pricing is based upon the actual cost of building the cables.

Canare cable, Canare connectors, and Canare tools - an all Canare system.  When you take a system this good and put it in the hands of technicians as good as ours, it becomes an awesome system!  Design excellence, high quality materials, meticulous workmanship, and superior service...put it all together and you get a superior product.  Don't get stuck with bad advice, poor service, slow shipment or an inferior product.  If you want the best, here it is.
