HD15 male to HD15 female cable with all pins wired

[Samuel M. Goldwasser]

Does anyone know of an inexpensive source for an extension cable
like this? 2-6 feet. A VGA cable might work but often, these have
bridged grounds and/or some pins not connected.

Thanks.

Try monoprice.com. Great service and the lowest prices. Chuck

I found lots of HD15 extensions with Google, but all of them seem to
be monitor extensions with the bridged grounds and an indeterminate
number of wires.

Would a pair of HD15 insulation displacement connectors and a ribbon
cable in between work? It won't carry much current and the cross will
be horrendous.

For a short run (1-2 feet), that might be a good solution. But it would
probably be #28 wire, right? A couple of the wires may need to carry
as much as 1.5 A.

Thanks.

What's broken about it? I know it doesn't line up well with a
variable-width font but what besides that?

Thanks

You're not using the approved sig separator which should be <dash dash
space> - see below.

Approved sig separator? Huh? I guess I'll have to recall my
35,000 or so posts over the last 15 years.

Without a "-- " preceeding your sig, most news readers won't properly
strip out that information in replies made to your posts.

Inside a thread with multiple participents it goes a bit mad. We've read
your sig once, please don't make us read it again a million times - or
I'll send you the bill for my new glasses ;-)
