The DVI-i connector used in this cable mates to the analogue pins incorporated in the DVI-I interface to send the analogue signal to the VGA input of your monitor.

It does not convert DVI digital signals to VGA analogue! This high-quality adapter cable allows you to connect a computer with a DVI-I analogue output to a VGA monitor (15-pin VGA Male). Many modern graphics cards feature both DVI-I (digital and analogue) and VGA (analogue) connectors. This cable is useful when you want to connect two VGA monitors to a computer equipped with one of these cards - simply connect the first monitor to the VGA port and the second, using this cable, to the DVI port!
