StarTech.com Right Angle VGA Adapter — HD-15 Male to Female, Type 1, Passive
HD-15 male to female90° right anglePassive, no powerLifetime warranty
The StarTech.com Right Angle VGA to VGA Cable Adapter, product ID GC1515MFRA1, 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 on both ends and StarTech.com designates it Type 1, which identifies the direction the angle turns. 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 important detail is the designation: StarTech.com produces this adapter in Type 1 and Type 2, 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. 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.
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.
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.
Standard HD-15 male to female
Male into the equipment, female for your existing VGA cable, so nothing else in the chain changes. It works with any standard VGA source or display — PCs, KVM switches, projectors, industrial panels, legacy medical and laboratory equipment.
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.
Thumbscrew-compatible D-Sub shell
A standard HD-15 shell, so the existing cable’s thumbscrews still have something to grip — which matters more on an angled connection, since the geometry means the cable naturally hangs rather than sitting straight.

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 the direction of the bend, because this is the Type 1 variant and the orientation is not something you can change after the fact. 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 you need the cable to leave the socket sideways.
Skip it if
You need to convert VGA to a digital interface, which requires an active converter. Also skip it if the bend must point a specific way and you cannot confirm which direction Type 1 turns.
Also consider
The Type 2 version of this adapter for 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.
