StarTech.com 7m Coax High Resolution Monitor VGA Video Cable - HD15 to HD15 M/M

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £13.57 ex-VAT, this is a perfectly sensible buy if you’ve got older VGA kit that you actually still use—think legacy PCs, some office thin clients, meeting room TVs/monitors that only take HD15, or anyone maintaining “it works, don’t touch it” setups. StarTech tends to be reliable on the basics, and at 7m this length is usually where cheaper cables start to get flaky (ghosting/brightness drop), so paying a modest premium for a decent brand is a reasonable move in a corporate environment.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting miracles: VGA is inherently limited, and a longer run can still show its age depending on the monitor and the signal quality coming out of the workstation. If you’re working with modern displays, don’t fight the past—go HDMI/DisplayPort where possible. For what it is—an HD15 extension-length VGA lead—this is a good, low-risk option for offices, warehouses with legacy monitors, and anyone who just needs a dependable replacement or a clean, tidy run between desk and display.
