2. Setup and Connection
This VGA cable is designed for straightforward plug-and-play functionality. Follow these steps to connect your devices:
- Identify Ports: Locate the VGA (D-Sub) output port on your source device (e.g., PC, laptop) and the VGA (D-Sub) input port on your display device (e.g., monitor, projector, TV). These ports are typically blue and have 15 pins.
- Connect Cable: Gently insert one end of the IIGLO VGA cable into the VGA output port of your source device. Ensure the pins align correctly to avoid bending them.
- Secure Connection: Tighten the two thumbscrews on the VGA connector to secure it firmly to the port. This prevents accidental disconnections and ensures a stable signal.
- Connect to Display: Insert the other end of the VGA cable into the VGA input port of your display device. Again, align the pins carefully and tighten the thumbscrews.
- Power On: Power on both your source device and your display device.
- Select Input: On your display device, use its menu or input selection button to choose the correct VGA input source.
Once connected, your display should show the video output from your source device.

3. Operation
The IIGLO II-VGAMVGAM-B050 VGA cable operates passively, transmitting analog video signals between compatible devices. No software or drivers are required for its operation.
- Signal Transmission: The cable transmits video signals from a source device to a display device.
- Resolution Support: The cable supports standard VGA resolutions, typically up to 1080p (Full HD), depending on the capabilities of your connected devices.
- Audio: Please note that VGA cables transmit video signals only. For audio, a separate audio cable (e.g., 3.5mm jack, RCA) is required.
4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your IIGLO VGA cable:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Handling: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wires.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Do not wrap it too tightly. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Connector Protection: Keep the connectors free from dust and debris. If necessary, use compressed air to clean the pin area.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VGA cable, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/No signal | Loose connection, incorrect input source, device not powered on. | Ensure both ends of the cable are securely fastened. Verify the display device is set to the correct VGA input. Check if both source and display devices are powered on. |
| Flickering or distorted image | Loose connection, cable damage, interference, incompatible resolution. | Tighten cable connections. Inspect the cable for visible damage (kinks, cuts). Try a different resolution setting on your source device. Ensure the cable is not near strong electromagnetic interference sources. |
| Incorrect colors or blurry image | Bent pins on connector, cable damage, display settings. | Carefully inspect the VGA connector pins for any bends or damage. If pins are bent, try to gently straighten them with small pliers (with caution). Check display settings for color calibration. |
If the problem persists after trying these steps, the cable may be faulty, or there might be an issue with your source or display device.
