This guide is for users with older computers or graphics cards requiring a 9-pin connection, such as for Enhanced Graphics Adaptor (EGA) displays or serial communication. The key benefit is its direct, straight-through 9-pin male-to-male connection for reliable signal transmission. A caveat is that this is not a standard VGA cable, which typically uses 15 pins. This 2-meter grey cable facilitates data transfer between compatible devices.

This cable has 9 pins and is designed for older Enhanced Graphics Adaptor (EGA) or RS232 serial connections. VGA cables typically have 15 pins and are used for analog video signals on more modern displays.
No, this cable is not compatible with modern monitors that use VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort connectors. It is specifically for 9-pin EGA or RS232 ports.
A straight-through pinout means that each pin on one connector is directly connected to the corresponding pin on the other connector. This is standard for many serial communication cables.
No, this cable is designed for video (EGA) or serial data transmission and is not intended for audio signals.
Its primary uses are connecting older computers or graphics cards to EGA monitors, or for establishing serial communication between devices using RS232 ports.
Look for a 9-pin D-sub connector on your computer, graphics card, or peripheral device. If your device manual specifies EGA or RS232 for these ports, this cable is likely compatible.
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the monitor and computer are powered on and set to the correct input/output. Confirm that the computer's graphics output is configured for EGA.
Check the cable connections for secure fit. Ensure that the serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) on both devices match. Test with a different known-good serial cable if possible.
Visually inspect the cable for any cuts, kinks, or bent pins. If damage is found, the cable should be replaced to prevent further issues or damage to connected equipment.
