HD15 male to HD15 female cable with all pins wired
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.

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. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

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.

It's not the resistance or the fusing current of the wire that causes problems. It's the insulation displacement connection. Tiny forks, as found on HD15 connectors don't have much contact area. All the current is going through what amounts to two sharp edges on the IDC forks. For IDC ribbon connectors, I use a rule-of-thumb of 1A maximum per wire. A general data sheet agrees: http://www.cwind.com/GenPDFs/CW-IDC+FlatCableSelGuide.pdf I don't think 1.5A is going to work. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

You're not using the approved sig separator which should be dash dash space - see below. -- *I don't suffer from insanity -- I'm a carrier Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

In Netscape 7.x newsreader, the sig will be a dim gray if the canonical separator precedes it; your sig appears as standard inline text. For purposes of sorting and filtering, the purpose of a signature is thus negated ;) Michael |

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 ;-) -- Adrian C |
