Kabel-gender-changer DVI-A VGA ShiverPeaks BS77416-1

The ShiverPeaks BS77416-1 is a cable gender changer designed to convert a DVI-A output to a VGA (D-Sub) connector. It provides a compact, passive adapter solution for joining devices that use DVI-A and legacy VGA interfaces. The adapter has nickel-plated connector contacts to improve contact durability and maintain reliable signal transfer, and its black housing is made for easy handling and unobtrusive installation in desktop or AV setups.

Advantages

This DVI-A to VGA gender changer offers a simple, passive way to connect DVI-A outputs to VGA displays without the need for active conversion electronics. Nickel-plated contacts increase resistance to corrosion and help keep signal paths stable over repeated use. The adapter’s compact size and straightforward plug-and-play design make it easy to carry, install, and reposition in tight spaces behind monitors or equipment racks.

Key specifications

• Type: DVI-A (male/female) to VGA (D-Sub) gender changer
• Connector plating: Nickel-plated contacts for improved durability
• Color: Black housing
• Design: Passive adapter, no active signal conversion
• Form factor: Compact and lightweight for easy installation and portability

How to use

Insert the DVI-A side of the adapter into the DVI-A output on the source device and secure the connection if the connector provides screws or fastening points. Plug a VGA cable into the VGA (D-Sub) female end of the adapter and connect the other end of that cable to the VGA monitor. The adapter requires no power and is intended for straightforward mechanical and electrical mating between compatible DVI-A and VGA interfaces.

Recommendations

Use this adapter only with devices that provide and accept analog DVI-A signals; it is not suitable for digital-only DVI-D ports or for converting digital signals to analog. Ensure connectors are aligned and gently tightened to avoid bending pins. For distances beyond standard VGA cable lengths, use appropriately rated VGA cables and consider signal boosters if needed.
