Black Box AVS-CBL-VG-CV VGA to Composite/S-Video Adapter Cable
Overview
The Black Box AVS-CBL-VG-CV is a compact adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between VGA video sources and older analog display devices that accept Composite or S-Video inputs. This 32cm (12.6 inch) cable is ideal for scenarios where you need to connect a modern PC, DVR, or other VGA-equipped device to legacy monitors, projectors, or televisions without native VGA support. It allows for the conversion of digital VGA signals into analog Composite or S-Video formats, ensuring compatibility in mixed-technology environments.
Compatibility
This adapter cable is designed for direct connection between a VGA output port (typically found on computers, laptops, and some video distribution equipment) and Composite (RCA) or S-Video input ports on displays. It does not require external power or software drivers, functioning as a passive signal converter. It is compatible with any device outputting a standard VGA signal, such as PCs running Windows or Linux, and many DVRs or older surveillance equipment.
Installation Notes
Connect the VGA (DE-15) end of the AVS-CBL-VG-CV cable to the VGA output port of your source device. Connect the Composite (RCA) or S-Video connector to the corresponding input on your display. Ensure the selected input on the display matches the connector used. For optimal signal integrity, avoid excessively long cable runs beyond the integrated cable length.
