UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 900, a 1.5-metre male to male lead that carries video at up to 1920 x 1200. Every piece is brand new and sealed in UGREEN retail packaging. The UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable uses the 15-pin D-sub plug, also called HD15, with gold-plated connectors at both ends. It sends an analogue picture only and carries no audio, so sound needs a separate cable. You can buy it over the counter at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for offices, schools and security setups that still run VGA equipment, the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable handles the jobs HDMI cannot plug into. Many projectors in boardrooms and lecture halls have only a blue VGA port, and plenty of CCTV DVRs send their camera grid to a monitor through VGA. Government offices and school computer labs often keep older desktops and monitors in service for years. When the original cable is lost, bent or frayed, the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable restores the picture in Full HD or the full 1920 x 1200 that many office monitors use.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell loose, unbranded VGA leads with thin plugs, Mascom International stocks the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable in its sealed box with a known specification. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy it in sets for school labs and for CCTV jobs in Industrial Area warehouses. IT staff in county offices keep spares in a drawer for projector days, so a missing lead never delays a meeting or a KRA training session. Walk into the shop to collect a few, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable
How much is the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable 1.5m in Kenya?
The UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable 1.5m sells for KSh 900 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. That covers the cable in its UGREEN box, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. For screens that also take HDMI, the UGREEN HD101 HDMI Cable 1.5m costs KSh 650 and carries sound as well as picture. The VGA cable is the one to buy when your projector, DVR or monitor has a VGA port only.
Does the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable carry sound?
No, the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable carries video only, because VGA is an analogue picture standard with no audio channel. If your projector or monitor has speakers, run a separate 3.5mm audio cable from the laptop or desktop, or plug speakers into the computer directly. Teachers in classrooms and presenters in boardrooms often forget this until a video plays in silence. Plan the audio link before the session so the picture and sound both work from the start.
UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable or UGREEN HD101 HDMI Cable: which should I buy?
Buy the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable if either device has only a VGA port, and the UGREEN HD101 HDMI Cable if both have HDMI. HDMI sends a digital picture plus sound through one plug, and the HD101 1.5m costs KSh 650. VGA sends an analogue picture without sound, at up to 1920 x 1200. Newer laptops often drop VGA entirely, so check the ports on both devices first. For an older projector or DVR, the VGA cable is usually the only option.
Will the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable connect a CCTV DVR to a monitor?
Yes, the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable links a CCTV DVR's VGA output to a monitor's VGA input, showing the camera grid at up to 1080p Full HD. Security teams in shops, schools and warehouses often keep the DVR and its monitor on the same shelf or desk. At 1.5 metres, the cable suits that short run without loose coils gathering dust. At Mascom International, we're seeing installers buy it alongside DVR setups for shops along Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street.
Does the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable work with older office projectors?
Yes, most older office and classroom projectors take a VGA input, and the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable plugs straight into that blue 15-pin port. It supports common projector resolutions such as 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600, as well as higher modes up to 1920 x 1200. Keep the laptop close, because 1.5 metres suits a projector on the same table. If your laptop has no VGA port, you will need a separate adapter, which is not included with this cable.
Is the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable suitable for school and government computer labs?
Yes, the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable suits computer labs where desktops and monitors from earlier years still connect through VGA. Its 1.5-metre length fits the space between a tower under the desk and a monitor on top. Gold-plated plugs resist corrosion in dusty classrooms and humid offices, which helps keep the picture stable. Buyers throughout Kenya report ordering it in batches for school labs in Nakuru and Kisumu, where replacing whole machines is not yet in the budget.
How should I protect a VGA connection from dust and KPLC power surges?
Switch off both devices before plugging or unplugging the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable, then push each plug fully home so it sits firmly. A surge protector or UPS on the computer and monitor is the real defence against KPLC surges, since a cable cannot stop them. Dust settles in unused ports, so wipe them and cover spare ports where you can. Gold-plated contacts on this cable help keep a clean connection in dusty rooms near busy roads.
Who should buy the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable if your projector, DVR, desktop or monitor depends on a VGA port and you need a short, reliable replacement. Office IT staff, school lab technicians and CCTV installers are the usual buyers. Skip it if both devices have HDMI, because the UGREEN HD101 HDMI Cable 1.5m at KSh 650 carries sound and a digital picture. Skip it too if you need more than 1.5 metres, since this length suits devices on one desk.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- VGA analogue video cable — carries a computer's picture to a monitor, projector or TV through the classic blue 15-pin port.
- Up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) — the widescreen resolution many office monitors use, slightly taller than standard Full HD.
- Full HD 1080p supported — enough detail for spreadsheets, CCTV camera grids, slides and everyday office work on a desktop screen.
- Lower modes also supported — 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200 suit older projectors and square-shaped monitors.
- Video only, no audio — VGA has no sound channel, so speakers need their own 3.5mm cable from the computer.
- 1.5-metre length — reaches from a desktop tower or DVR to a screen on the same desk or shelf.
Compatibility
- Fits PCs, laptops and desktops with a VGA output, common on business machines and older lab computers still in service.
- Connects to monitors, projectors and TVs with a VGA input, including many classroom and boardroom projectors in Kenyan offices.
- Suits CCTV DVRs and set-top boxes that offer a VGA monitor output alongside or instead of HDMI.
- Male to male — both ends are plugs, matching the female VGA sockets found on computers, screens and DVRs.
- Laptops without a VGA port need a separate adapter, which is not part of this package and is sold separately.
Build
- 15-pin D-sub connectors, also called HD15 — the standard VGA plug shape, three rows of pins in a trapezoid shell.
- Gold-plated connectors — gold resists rust and tarnish, keeping a steady contact in dusty classrooms and humid coastal offices.
- Black cable and plugs — blends in behind desks, monitors and DVR shelves instead of standing out against dark equipment.
- Standard VGA port fit — the plug shape matches VGA sockets on desktops, laptops, DVRs and projectors from any brand.
- Male to male construction from UGREEN — a branded cable with stated specifications instead of an unlabelled generic lead.
Inclusions
- One UGREEN VG101 VGA Cable, 1.5 metres long, sealed in UGREEN retail packaging for a clean, unused cable.
- No adapters, audio leads or extension couplers are included in the box with the cable.
- Price of KSh 900 works out to KSh 600 per metre, a modest cost for restoring a projector or lab monitor.
- Backed by a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, claimed at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Bulk orders for labs and offices are welcome by WhatsApp, with pay-on-arrival delivery to any county in Kenya.
