It’s how we connected monitors to our PCs. Before I had DVI I used that to connect my desktop to my monitor. My old laptop had port but now they have HDMI.
I think I have seen as many VGA cables as I did HDMI ones. I also have seen many people using adapters for the two standards. So I think they are still very common.
Can someone explain what is this to people born in this century.

Just to tag along, the VGA signal is analog where DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort are digital
DVI had an analog variant as well. I’m obligated to say this because that cable compatibility confused the shit out of me at least once.
You had to check for pins above and below the wide “dash” shaped pin to know if it supported analog.

It’s a VGA connector, used for screens. You can still find them if you look hard enough.

I’ve heard there was a secret cord that david pulled and it pleased the lhord
Had some VGA cords stored away for almost 20 years now “just in case one day I need them”
Didn’t some camcorders have a VGA output? Think that’s why I kept them
Probably, but most i’ve seen are AV. I still use an old SUN monitor, so VGA is alive and well here

It’s basically an analog version of an HDMI cable. Except no audio, only video.
It’s like the yellow RCA cable, but for computer monitors instead of TVs
Except it transmitted several times the resolution of an RCA cable
