The Uses Of An RGB Cable

There are many different kinds of cables out there, and letting yourself get caught up in which end is which and what does what is no good at all. Here's my attempt at a little guide for one certain cable together with all the oddities as well as strangeness that even a singular cable can produce, specifically, the rgb cable.

The rgb cable, also referred to as a VGA cable, is vital for connecting monitors. The defining part of the cable, the end, is a three row, fifteen pin adapter. This means it can be identified by searching for the end and seeing if it is three rows of fifteen pins. This is typically in a preventive shell with built-in screws to insure the cable stays put on.

The name "rgb cable" derives from it's function. It provides red, green, and blue color to a device in addition to horizontal sync and vertical sync. It is essentially required to get colored picture from an analog source. The rgb cable can be used to carry picture resolutions from 640à—400 pixels all the way up to 2048à—1536 pixels. For a fast comparison, almost all high definition TV sets can operate at the maximum of 1920à—1080 pixels.

The rgb cable was designed in 1987, and was used for virtually ten years as one of the only cables used for linking a computer to a monitor. It was superseded by DVI in 1998, however most devices still have a VGA slot to work with rgb cable. To this day, even though HDMI cables are replacing DVI cables, rgb cables still have many uses.

Rgb cables are quite compatible with both HDMI and DVI cables, and there are various types of conversion cables to make use of a VGA slot and a DVI or an HDMI slot. This keeps rgb cables in use even two decades after their first use.
