🖥️ VGA + 3.5mm TRS Cable • Male → Male

This cable combines a standard VGA (DB15) video line with a 3.5mm stereo audio line, running both in parallel. It’s designed to transmit analog video and stereo audio between devices that separate video and audio outputs—like laptops, desktops, and media players—to displays or projectors that accept both inputs.

🧠 Signal Format
VGA (Video Graphics Array):
15-pin analog RGB video
3.5mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve):
Tip = Left audio
Ring = Right audio
Sleeve = Ground
Behavior:
Video and audio run independently
No signal conversion or mixing
 
⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
🔄 No HDMI conversion — VGA is analog-only
🔊 No audio over VGA — 3.5mm handles all sound
📏 Signal degradation — long runs may reduce quality
🎛️ Port spacing — check device layout for clearance
🧬 Not universal — some displays require separate audio routing
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧠 Use when both VGA and 3.5mm ports are present
⚡ Plug VGA first, then audio—some devices auto-switch
🧰 Ideal for legacy setups where HDMI isn’t available
🎛️ Test resolution and audio levels before live use
🧪 Great for embedded AV builds needing analog fidelity
