Extron VGA-A M-M MD/3 (part number 26-490-01) — a 3' (90 cm) male-to-male VGA cable with an analogue stereo audio lead bonded to the same assembly.

Running video and audio as two separate cables doubles the dressing work and doubles the chance one of them gets unplugged. This assembly solves that by pairing Extron MHRVGA cable, terminated in molded 15-pin HD male connectors, with a stereo mini plug lead at each end. The audio pigtails are deliberately different lengths — 24 inches at one end and 8 inches at the other — so the long tail reaches a laptop headphone jack while the short tail lands neatly beside the switcher input.

Key Capabilities

• Carries computer video, analogue stereo audio and ID bit signals in one 3' (90 cm) assembly
• Pin 9 +5 VDC and the ID bits travel end to end when the graphics card meets VESA DDC version 3
• Molded 15-pin HD male connectors plus 3.5 mm stereo mini plugs
• Audio lead measures 24 inches on one end and 8 inches on the other
• VGA shell tied to ground for ESD protection
• Injection-molded body with an overall foil shield for EMI isolation

Where It Is Used

Inside Cable Cubby, AVEdge and HSA enclosures where a presenter needs both signals from one lead, lectern interiors, rack tie-lines to an audio-capable switcher, and huddle tables where the source sits within arm's reach of the plate.
