The Matrox CAB-L60-4XAF is a
video cable adapter for expanding the number of controllable
analog displays with certain Matrox M- and P-series graphics cards. It enables connection of up to four monitors instead of the standard two, with a maximum resolution per display of up to 1920x1200 pixels via analog transmission over HD15 (VGA). The cable is specifically designed for the
M9120 Plus LP and
P690 Plus LP variants, including PCIe x16, PCIe x1, and PCI versions. The extension is achieved via an
LFH60 connector at the graphics card interface, which leads to four
HD15 sockets (VGA), allowing one monitor to be connected to each.
Applications
The adapter is intended for work environments where expanding the workspace with multiple screens is required, for example in office applications, data analysis, or technical control rooms. Using multiple monitors increases productivity, as multiple applications or documents can be viewed simultaneously. Compatibility is limited to the specified Matrox models, with installation directly at the graphics card interface.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The cable has a length of
0.3 m and is finished in
black. The connector at the graphics card end is a
plug (LFH60), while the four outputs are each equipped with
sockets (HD15/VGA). This configuration allows direct connection to analog monitors featuring a VGA interface. The maximum resolution per monitor is 1920x1200 pixels, which is sufficient for most office and work applications.
Technology Explained Simply
The adapter uses the existing analog output of the graphics card to enable signal transmission to four separate monitors. The LFH60 interface is a special connector used by Matrox, optimized for multi-monitor functionality. The four HD15 sockets (VGA) are standardized connectors widely used in analog display technology. The cable length of 0.3 m is sufficient to connect the graphics card inside the computer case to external monitors without requiring excessive extension.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is exclusively compatible with the Matrox models
M9120 Plus LP PCIe x16,
M9120 Plus LP PCIe x1,
P690 Plus LP PCIe x16, and
P690 Plus LP PCI. It is not recommended for other graphics card models or interfaces such as DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort. Use requires that the graphics card already features the corresponding LFH60 interface. No additional accessories or adapters are required.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by directly connecting the LFH60 plug to the corresponding interface on the graphics card. Subsequently, the VGA cables of the monitors are connected to the four HD15 sockets on the adapter. Configuration is done via the graphics driver software of the Matrox card. No additional tools or settings are required beyond the standard driver installation.
Operational Advantages
Using the CAB-L60-4XAF enables efficient use of workspace, as multiple applications can be viewed simultaneously. Expanding from two to four monitors increases productivity in environments where parallel tasks are processed. Analog signal transmission via VGA is stable and widely adopted, ensuring compatibility with existing monitors. The cable length of 0.3 m is suitable for use in standard PC cases and avoids unnecessary cable clutter.
