DVI-A Analogue Only Monitor Cable

DVI-A monitor cables carrying only the analogue signal, are used where one end is to mate with a DVI-I connector and the other end with a standard HD15 connector. NEC screens fitted with only DVI-I inputs come with such a cable as standard, for connection to analogue only graphics cards.

The monitor cable itself is very different for digital signal transmission compared to analogue. The three coax cores for the RGB signal are replaced by foil shielded twisted pairs one for each colour plus a 4th twisted pair for xxxxxxx. The digital signal is very delicate and effective transmission over 5 metres cannot be guaranteed, which means that analogue SVGA cables will continue to be used in many applications e.g. where display units such as plasma screens or projectors are sited over 10m, from the signal.
