Frequently Asked Questions - ASA 141 Extron

What is the Extron ASA 141 cable used for?

The ASA 141 is a VGA extension cable designed to connect a computer to a monitor, projector, or other display device with VGA input, extending the reach by 6 feet.

Does this cable support audio transmission?

No, this is a standard VGA cable for video only. Audio must be transmitted separately via a 3.5mm audio cable or HDMI.

Is the ASA 141 compatible with 4K resolutions?

No, VGA is an analog interface and typically supports up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) or 1080p. It does not support 4K.

Can I chain multiple ASA 141 cables together?

Yes, you can connect multiple VGA extension cables to increase length, but signal degradation may occur beyond 50 feet. Use a VGA booster for longer runs.

What is the difference between male and female connectors on this cable?

The ASA 141 has one male (pins) and one female (holes) connector. The male end connects to the source (computer), and the female end connects to the display cable or monitor.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently clean the gold-plated contacts. Allow to dry before connecting.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, it features triple shielding (foil, braid, and drain wire) to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity.

Does the ASA 144 come with a warranty?

Extron typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on passive cables. Check your packaging or contact Extron for details.

Can I use this cable with a projector?

Yes, it is suitable for connecting a computer to any VGA-compatible projector up to 6 feet away.

What should I do if the cable stops working?

First, check connections and try a different port. If the cable is damaged, replace it as it is not repairable. Ensure it is not kinked or pinched.

ASA Audio Summing Adapters

(ASA 111, ASA 121, ASA 131, ASA 141)

The Extron ASA audio summing adapters sum left and right stereo audio signals into mono signals for distributed sound and other applications that require mono sound. The ASA 111 and ASA 121 output an unbalanced audio signal only. The ASA 131 outputs a balanced audio signal. The ASA 141 outputs a balanced or unbalanced audio signal.

Model	Input connector	Input signal	Output connector	Output signal
ASA 111	3.5 mm mini 1 plug	Unbalanced stereo	3-pin captive screw 4a(2 pins are used)	Unbalanced mono (only)
ASA 121	2 RCAs 2	Unbalanced stereo	3-pin captive screw 4a(2 pins are used)	Unbalanced mono (only)
ASA 131	5-pin captive 3 screw	Balanced stereo	3-pin captive 4b screw	Balanced mono (only)
ASA 141	2 RCAs 3-pin 2	Unbalanced stereo	screw 4a 4b	Balanced/ unbalanced mono

NOTE ASA 141 unbalanced output — Do not short the negative (-) terminal to ground (Gnd).

NOTE The ASA 131 supports the wiring scheme used by Extron products that output audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.
