BlackBox AVS-CBL-VG-CV VGA-to-Composite and S-Video adapter cable, 32 cm content_copy

The product AVS-CBL-VG-CV from BlackBox is a VGA-to-Composite and S-Video adapter cable with a length of 32 cm. It serves as a passive connection solution between VGA sources and devices that receive Composite or S-Video signals. This cable is not an active converter and therefore requires a compatible device environment to function correctly. It enables the adaptation of video outputs to older or specific displays that do not support VGA inputs but have Composite or S-Video inputs. The use is suitable, for example, in environments with older monitors or in systems with mixed video interfaces.

Applications

The cable is designed for applications where analog video transmission between a VGA output and a Composite or S-Video input is required. It is commonly used in environments where older screens, projectors, or television devices with non-VGA connections are in use. The length of 32 cm is suitable for short connections within a room or in a rack, keeping the cabling compact and clear. The use is exclusively for indoor environments, as no specific protection ratings such as IP67 or similar are specified.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable features a VGA plug at one end and a Composite as well as an S-Video plug at the other end. It is a passive connection, with no signal amplification or conversion taking place. Signal transmission occurs directly, with compatibility with the connected device being crucial. The length of 32 cm allows for flexible placement within a system without the cabling becoming excessively long. Use is limited to devices that support Composite and S-Video signal formats and are compatible with VGA signals.

Technology Explained Simply

The cable transmits the analog video signal from a VGA output to the corresponding pins for Composite and S-Video. Since it is a passive connection, the signal is not converted or amplified. Therefore, the quality of the transmitted image depends directly on the quality of the input signal and the compatibility of the receiving device. Use is only meaningful if the target device supports the respective video formats. The length of 32 cm is designed for short, direct connections, ensuring signal integrity over this distance.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for connecting VGA sources to Composite and S-Video inputs. It is not an active converter, so compatibility with the connected device is essential. It is recommended to check the technical specifications of the target device to ensure it can receive VGA signals and convert them into Composite or S-Video formats. No additional accessories or adapters are required, as the cable provides the necessary interface.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by directly connecting the VGA plug to the source and the Composite and S-Video plugs to the target device. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The cabling is simple and does not require special installation techniques. The length of 32 cm allows for a compact arrangement, without the cabling being excessively extended.

Operational Advantages

The cable offers a cost-effective and simple solution for adapting video interfaces. It enables the use of older or specific displays that do not have VGA inputs, without requiring a complex converter or additional power supply. The passive design ensures a reliable and maintenance-free connection, as long as device compatibility is given. The short length of 32 cm ensures neat cabling and minimizes the risk of signal interference.

Certifications

The product complies with CE and ROHS 2 certifications, confirming compliance with European safety and environmental standards. These certifications guarantee that the product can be safely used under normal operating conditions and meets the required environmental requirements.
