VGA cable

Analog video link

A VGA cable connects a computer to a monitor or projector, carrying analog video signals through a distinctive 15-pin connector with blue ends.

VGA (Video Graphics Array) was the standard display connection from the late 1980s through the 2000s.

Though largely replaced by digital connections like HDMI and DisplayPort, VGA cables remain common with older equipment: I need a VGA cable for this projector.
