What is a "VGA cable"?
A VGA (Video Graphics Array) cable is a type of cable used to connect a computer to a monitor or other display device. It transmits video signals in a basic form, typically using a 15-pin connector. VGA cables were widely used for computer displays and projectors before the rise of digital connections like HDMI. While VGA can still provide a good quality image, it does not support high-definition video as well as modern digital cables and is now considered outdated for most uses. VGA is commonly found on older computers, monitors, and projectors.
Example
I need to find a VGA cable to connect my old laptop to the projector for the presentation.
The new monitor does n't have a VGA port, so I had to get an adapter.
