Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) cables connect electronics to displays. The most common contemporary use of SVGA cables is to connect the computer to the monitor. However, modern devices such as cameras or game systems use SVGA cable to connect to a TV or video screen. Specifications on length include the actual length, the use of extenders, and the use of splitters.
Lengths
-
The standard cable length of an SVGA cable is 6 feet. This length lets you move a computer around the standard-size desk without having to move the monitor. Manufacturers offer the cable in 10- and 15-foot lengths for larger desks or offices, and 1-foot and 3-foot lengths for compact setups. Connecting your computer tower to a remote display requires the use of 100-foot segments of cable. This length will typically be seen for a security display in one room with the recording tower in an electronics closet or room.
Extenders
-
Some people position their offices in odd arrangements. The computer tower may be on a shelf 8 feet away. An extender is used to piece two lengths of cord together. Extenders allow for any length cord to be attached, creating a custom length to suit your needs. The extender amplifies any type of input signal, so there is no degradation of the visual display. It also supports multiple display types, including SVGA, VGA and MultiSync.
Splitters
-
A splitter does what the name implies: It splits the signal from one output source to two inputs. You can operate multiple monitors using splitters, as long as you use the correct setup on the computer. A splitter does not amplify the signal, and should not be used as an extender. You can, however, use a splitter in conjunction with an extender to operate multiple monitors in different locations.
