StarTech.com Right Angle VGA Adapter — HD-15 Male to Female, Type 2, Passive
HD-15 male to female90° right anglePassive, no powerLifetime warranty
The StarTech.com Right Angle VGA to VGA Cable Adapter, product ID GC1515MFRA2, is a short HD-15 male to female adapter that turns a VGA connection through 90 degrees at the socket. It exists for one situation and solves it completely: a monitor, projector, KVM or industrial display pushed back against a wall, mounted on an arm, or recessed in a cabinet, where a straight VGA plug plus the bend radius of its cable needs several centimetres that simply are not there. Fitting this adapter lets the cable leave the port sideways instead of straight out. It is a passive adapter with standard 15-pin high-density D-Sub connectors, and StarTech.com designates it Type 2 — the opposite bend direction to the Type 1 version (GC1515MFRA1). StarTech.com backs it with a lifetime warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a mechanical adapter, not a converter: VGA in, VGA out, analogue signal unchanged. It will not convert VGA to HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort, and it adds no signal amplification. The designation is the detail that matters: StarTech.com produces this adapter as Type 1 (GC1515MFRA1) and Type 2 (this one), which differ in which direction the 90° bend points — and beyond that type label the exact orientation is not published in the specification sheet. If your clearance problem is on one specific side — a wall to the left, a bracket directly below — confirm the orientation before ordering, because the adapter cannot be reversed and the two types exist precisely so that one of them routes the cable away from your obstruction. Also be aware that every additional connector pair in an analogue video path adds a small amount of loss, which on a long VGA run at high resolution can be the difference between a sharp image and a slightly soft one. Operating range is -20 °C to 80 °C at 15–65% RH.
Key Features
Turns a VGA connection through 90 degrees
The clearance a straight VGA plug needs is not just the plug — it is the plug plus the minimum bend radius of a thick analogue cable, which is easily five or six centimetres. A right-angle adapter reclaims all of it, which is often what makes a wall-mounted display or a recessed panel physically possible.
Type 2 — the opposite bend to Type 1
StarTech.com makes both orientations for a reason: whichever side your obstruction is on, one of the two routes the cable away from it. This is the Type 2 direction; if it turns out to be the wrong way for your installation, the Type 1 part (GC1515MFRA1) is the mirror.
Removes leverage from the port
A VGA cable forced into a tight space puts constant sideways force on the connector and, through it, on the board behind the socket. Thumbscrews hold the plug but transmit that load rather than absorbing it. Angling the cable removes the strain at its source.
Passive, no power and no configuration
Nothing to install, nothing to plug in and nothing to fail electronically. For legacy analogue video that is the correct engineering answer: the fewer active components in the path, the fewer things there are to troubleshoot.
Wide operating range, -20 °C to 80 °C
A usefully broad temperature specification for a passive part, which matters where VGA still lives — unheated plant rooms, machine cabinets, vehicles and industrial control panels rather than air-conditioned offices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
This is a two-euro-problem part: everything about a display installation works except that the VGA plug will not fit in the space behind the monitor. The alternatives are worse — forcing the cable and stressing the socket, moving the display out from the wall, or replacing a perfectly good cable with a moulded right-angle one you then cannot use anywhere else. The single thing to check before ordering is which way the bend needs to point, because this is the Type 2 variant and the orientation cannot be changed after the fact; the Type 1 part is the mirror image if this one turns the wrong way. Beyond that, remember it is a passive adapter on an analogue interface: it converts nothing, and on a long VGA run that is already marginal, adding a connector pair is a small cost worth being aware of. Browse our PC monitors range for the displays this connects, and see our commercial monitors section for fixed-install and signage screens.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
A VGA port sits where a straight plug will not fit — a wall-mounted display, a recessed panel, a rack-mounted KVM — and the Type 2 bend direction routes the cable away from your obstruction.
Skip it if
You need to convert VGA to a digital interface, which requires an active converter. Also skip it if the bend needs to point the other way, where the Type 1 part is the correct choice.
Also consider
GC1515MFRA1, the Type 1 version of this adapter with the opposite bend direction, VGA extension cables where the issue is reach rather than clearance, or active VGA to HDMI converters for connecting analogue sources to digital displays.
