Kaapelisovitin MediaRange MRCS172

The MediaRange MRCS172 is a compact cable gender changer that converts a DVI-I connection to a VGA connection. It has gold-plated contacts for improved signal transfer and corrosion resistance, and a black finish that fits standard monitor and PC setups. This adapter is intended to link DVI-I equipped source devices to VGA displays without modifying existing cables.

Advantages

Gold-plated connector contacts reduce signal loss and resist corrosion, while the simple pass-through design requires no external power or drivers. The small, lightweight construction eases installation behind monitors or in tight spaces and maintains physical compatibility between DVI-I (24+5) and VGA interfaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting DVI-I output from a computer or graphics card to a VGA monitor
• Using existing VGA displays with DVI-I sources in offices or homes
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups where signal conversion is needed

Key specifications

• Manufacturer: MediaRange
• Model/MPN: MRCS172
• Connector 1: DVI-I (24+5 pin)
• Connector 2: VGA (HD15)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated
• Colour: Black

How to use

Turn off both devices before connecting. Insert the DVI-I plug into the DVI-I output on the source device and secure it if the connector uses screws. Plug the VGA cable into the VGA socket on the adapter and attach the other end to the monitor. Power on the devices and select the correct input on the display. No drivers are required for operation.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with devices that expose an analog VGA signal on their DVI-I connector; this adapter does not convert digital-only DVI-D signals to VGA. For stable connections, ensure connector screws are tightened and avoid excessive bending at the connector junctions.
