Black Box 40cm VGA to Component Adapter Cable

Overview

The Black Box AVS-CBL-VG-CM is a VGA to component adapter cable designed to connect devices with VGA output to displays or equipment that accept analog component video signals via YPbPr inputs. With a length of 40 cm (15.7 inches), it offers a compact and tidy solution for linking older computers, media players, or other VGA sources to component video displays without the need for complex converters or power supplies. This cable supports passive VGA to component conversion, making it a practical choice for compatible setups.

Key features

• Converts VGA output to YPbPr component video input, enabling compatibility between VGA sources and component displays
• Compact 40 cm length helps maintain a neat and organized setup without excess cable clutter
• Includes one VGA connector and three RCA plugs for YPbPr signals, simplifying connections between devices
• Operates reliably within typical indoor temperature ranges from 32° to 122° Fahrenheit, ensuring stable performance
• Lightweight design at 0.22 pounds makes it easy to handle and install in tight or portable environments
• Passive conversion requires devices to support VGA to component signal compatibility, avoiding the need for external power or active converters

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter cable is designed for devices that support passive VGA to component video conversion. It connects a VGA output source, such as older computers or media players, to displays or equipment with YPbPr component video inputs. Because it relies on passive signal conversion, it is important to verify that your VGA source supports this type of output to ensure proper video transmission.

Ideal uses and environments

The Black Box AVS-CBL-VG-CM fits well in setups where space is limited and a short, reliable cable is needed to connect VGA sources to component video displays. It is suitable for home entertainment systems, classrooms, or professional environments where legacy VGA devices must interface with component video equipment. Its temperature tolerance and lightweight design also make it a good option for portable or temporary installations.
