Cables Direct Display Port – VGA m/f 0.15 m VGA (D-Sub) DisplayPort Black

Compact Reach for Clean Setups

The 0.15 m length keeps the link short and tidy. Because the cable is so brief, it minimises signal path length and potential interference. This is ideal for docking stations or small form-factor PCs placed close to the monitor. It also helps maintain a neat UK office desk or retail kiosk.

Legacy Display Compatibility

This cable adapts a DisplayPort output to a VGA input. In practice, it lets you connect newer PCs to older monitors and projectors that only have VGA. The connector genders are VGA (D-Sub) male to DisplayPort female. However, it is not specified if audio is supported; verify your source and display capabilities.

Resolution and Signal Integrity

The cable supports up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. This resolution suits standard desktop use, spreadsheets, and legacy video signals. Because it is an analogue VGA link, image quality may vary with cable length and monitor quality. So, confirm your monitor’s supported resolution before purchase.

Build and Colour

The product colour is black, which suits most UK office and AV environments. The short, fixed design reduces the need for cable management accessories. Also, the connectors are VGA (D-Sub) male and DisplayPort female. If you need a different gender or longer length, check our range for alternatives.
