What is a D-sub pin?

A D-sub contains two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets usually surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield that provides mechanical support, ensures correct orientation, and may screen against electromagnetic interference.

What is DB 15 cable?

The DB15 connector is an analog socket, with 15 pins, from the D-Subminiatures (D-Sub) connector family. The prefix “D” represents the D-shape of the connector shell. The DB15 connector is mainly used in serial and parallel ports, allowing asynchronous data transmission according to the RS-232 standard (RS-232C).

Is D-sub and VGA the same thing?

D-Sub and DVI: standard interfaces for PC use. When used as a monitor interface, a D-Sub port is also known as a VGA port, an analog connection standard that’s been around for some time. The connector is a DE-15 connector with 15 pins in three rows, often referred to as a “mini-D-Sub 15-pin” or “D-Sub 15-pin” connector …

What does a D-sub cable look like?

D-Sub Connectors They are shaped like a sideways letter “D,” with one side slightly longer than the other. Due to the shape, there is only one way to connect a device. All D-Sub connectors have a metal “shield” that surrounds two or more rows of pins (male) or holes (female).

Can you connect VGA to D-Sub?

To directly answer your question, no but the 15 pin D Sub connector is the one used for VGA output. VGA is an analog transmission type standing for Video Graphics Adapter and the connections use a 15 pin D-Sub connector but there are a whole series of connectors in the D-Sub family.

Can D-Sub convert to HDMI?

Connect your VGA/D-Sub cable to a HDMI port. To stream files, such as videos, from a device with a D-Sub to another device with only a HDMI port, you will need to convert the signal with a VGA/D-Sub to HDMI converter box. VGA/D-Sub to HDMI converters are available for purchase from a variety of retailers.

Can D-Sub do 1080p?

Judicious. Yes, VGA can support 1080p 60Hz, just be sure not to use a too long cable as that can degrade the quality of the picture when using analog cables (like VGA/D-sub).

What is a D-sub 15 pin connector?

According to correct I/O connector nomenclature, the D-sub 15 pin connector is typically either a DA15 or DE15 connector. However, the overall DB15 title has stuck — even though it’s technically a misnomer.
