Review on 6 Feet Rankie VGA Cable - VGA to VGA Connector by Jeremy Choi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

We're talking about preservation. Explanation in the review.

"Nerd" for a long time, so I have a lot of obsolete equipment. The cable works on one device and not another. while others still look like trash and I know WHY. My old cable was a TRUE VGA cable so pin 1 had a wire going to pin 1 on the other end and this followed 12 pins, pins 6-8 were connected to the metal case (shields for pins 1-3. Other Cable uses above but also uses pin 10 (VGA ground) This cable is connected to chassis ground on pins 5-8 and pin 11. THIS IS an issue with some devices' own pinout guides, so "VGA cable" plays no longer matter 4, 6-10 and 11 while others are 5-8 So until the sellers list the pins in the description for you to check at home, be ready to buy multiple types and send back the ones that do not work.

Pros
  • Gold Plated Connectors; 100% bare copper conductors
Cons
  • unreliable
