Description

StarTech MXT101HQ 6ft VGA Cable

Overview

The StarTech MXT101HQ is a 6-foot VGA (HD15) to VGA (HD15) cable designed for reliable video signal transmission between a source device and a display. This cable is essential for connecting older monitors, projectors, or KVM switches in environments where high-definition digital signals are not required or supported. Its construction ensures a stable connection for standard definition video feeds, making it suitable for basic surveillance monitor setups or legacy AV installations. The MXT101HQ model provides a straightforward, plug-and-play solution for extending or replacing existing VGA connections.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard VGA (HD15) output and input ports. This includes a wide range of monitors, projectors, video splitters, switchers, and older generation video matrix systems. It is commonly used with PC graphics cards, older DVRs, and analog video distribution systems. For surveillance applications, it connects analog or hybrid DVRs to VGA-only monitors or KVM switches used for managing multiple systems.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) and can be stored between -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F). It supports 0 to 95% humidity levels. The connectors are nickel-plated for durability and corrosion resistance, rated for 1000 insertions. The 75 Ohm impedance is critical for maintaining signal integrity over standard VGA connections, minimizing ghosting or signal loss.
