VGA isn't always good, but when it is, it isn't - defaultrouteuk - 01-18-2022

Hi nerds,

So sick and tired of VGA cables. I've got a few here and only one of them correctly pushes the SOG on my devices. Pisses me off. I've bought a few recently with long lengths and it's not cheap shit but they just don't work. 

Does anyone know a vendor of VGA cables that work well? Or a reseller that can be trusted. It seems to me that the older cables are the best.

Cheers
Rich

I've had tons of luck with Extron.
I use one with my Octane, and seriously, a 8 meters Extron cable gives better signal than the 2m VGA cable that came with a cheapo Samsung monitor that I got 3 years ago.

edit: something like this: Extron VGA-A M-M MD12 Video Conferencing Cable 26-490-03
