If you're using a desktop computer at home or at the office, you might have a different set of expectations than what you'd want from a laptop. The differences in hardware affect the way you receive output from your computer, and in terms of visuals you want to be sure your connection to your monitor is something you don't have to worry about. In fact, you may not think about it at all! But the cable connecting your monitor to your hard drive is doing a lot of work, and it's important to make sure that it's the right cable - at the right cost - for the job.

VGA vs SVGA Cables

A Video Graphic Array (VGA) cable is responsible for carrying analog signals and supporting video resolutions for your desktop computer. So what does the "S" stand for, and how does it make an SVGA cable different from a VGA cable? Super Video Graphic Array cables earn the "Super" for a reason. While VGA cords support resolutions of up to 640 x 480, their "super-powered"  counterparts support a far higher resolution than even their purported 800 x 600 standards. 

VGA cables are largely considered obsolete these days. But that doesn't mean you won't encounter one out in the wild. In fact, they're still quite common!  While that might make you worry about the quality of the graphics your desktop is capable of, I have good news - SVGA cables are backwards compatible for VGA. Whichever you're looking for, though, Cables.com is on hand with the right cables for your hardware needs.

Typically, a male VGA cable will plug into a female port on your machine. Cables.com offers VGA male to female PC Monitor Extension Cables in a variety of lengths, even as far as 15 feet.

Depending on your setup, it's also possible that you'll need a male to male VGA cord. Cables.com's Male to Male VGA Cables feature ferrites on each end to filter out EMI noise as well as a double-shielded VGA and QXGA-rated performance. This means that while typically VGA cables have much less shielding than SVGA cables, Cables.com's Datacomm cables are able to reduce interference and signal degradation than many other VGA cables. 

Making SVGA Cables Super

Cables.com offers SVGA cables in a variety of lengths and configurations. You can purchase 150 feet and more of SVGA HD15M to HD15M Cable with a Riser PVC jacket and HD15 Male to Male connectors on either end, capable of supporting all monitors including flat panel displays and HDTV. 

One thing to keep in mind when shopping SVGA cables is that typically they're intended for visual connections, not audio. However, at Cables.com we offer Premium Triple Shielded SVGA HD15 and 3.5mm Stereo male to male cables as well.

What if your connection needs are more complicated than the standard? At Cables.com you can find high-performance SVGA Sharing Splitters and Amplifiers that will allow you to split signals from one monitor to up to eight monitors! You can use them for VGA to SVGA setups as well. 

As you can see, there's a lot to keep in mind when shopping for VGA and SVGA cables. You might not know exactly what you're looking for, or are having difficulty finding the right cables for your analog signal needs to your computer. Keep in mind that Cables.com offers Custom Cables in every length, color, and configuration you can imagine.
