What is VGA:

• VGA technology is an analog interface, or connection device, used between a computer system and monitor, or other display device
• VGA hardware is used to facilitate a digital signal which enables a display device to show an image
• VGA refers to a specific resolution, or level of information displayed, of 640-by-480 pixels. Pixels are the smallest element in an image

How to Build a VGA Cable:



Build a VGA cable on site and for pennies by soldering two ends on a cable and attaching a pair of hoods. When a longer cable is needed, one can be made in just minutes for very little cost in a few simple steps. Nearly any computer cable can be created in custom lengths by using a small assortment of solder and crimp connectors and having a supply of cable on hand. Simple steps and links to the pin diagrams necessary to make various cables are all that is needed.

• Cut the cable to the desired length, leaving some spare cable for slack and to be able to rearrange the desk.
• Strip about an inch of the outer insulation from each end of the cable, being careful not to nick or strip the insulation from any of the inner conductors. If any of the inner conductors are stripped in the process, cut the cable back an inch and strip the outer conductor again.
• Strip about a quarter-inch from each of the inner conductors. Preheat the soldering iron while stripping the conductors.
• Place one D-sub connector into the hands-free soldering aid so that the solder connectors are facing up.
• Insert a single conductor deeply into the middle pin of the middle row of solder connections, choosing a color that is in the middle of the cable to keep the conductors from getting tangled.
• Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the conductor and press it against the solder connection on the D-Sub connector for a second or so and then apply the tip of the solder to the conductor until solder flows into the connector and onto the conductor evenly. Remove the soldering iron and inspect for a good connection.
• Solder the remaining pins in the middle row and then solder the pins in the outer rows until each of the 15 pins has a conductor soldered to it. Repeat the process for the other end of the cable, using the same color conductor for the same pin number on each end of the cable.
• Attach the protective hoods to the ends of the cable after inspecting the connections. Connect the cable to the monitor and the video card. 

How to choose VGA Gender Changers?

• Video Graphics Array, or VGA, is the standard analog display connector for most computers. VGA connectors can be found on more than just computer monitors, though. Many HD TVs, multimedia projectors, video game consoles and laptops have VGA connectors. When dealing with different VGA inputs and outputs, it may be necessary to buy a few VGA gender changers for compatibility.

Instructions:

• 1. Make sure you know which end is which. This seems simple enough, but before you buy a gender changer, you need to know what you're dealing with. The male end of a VGA connector is the side with the pins. There should be 15 pins arranged in 3 rows. The female end of a VGA connector has 15 holes that the pins on the male end fit into. The male end fits over the female end and typically fastens by screws on each side of the connector.
• 2. Figure out what VGA gender you need to change from. The standard VGA cable you are going to deal with probably has male ends on both sides. If you need a VGA gender changer for a typical VGA cable, you will need it to be female on one end. Also check to see what gender you need on the other end.
• 3. Look for VGA gender changers that are also adapters from another format. DVI, for example, is another popular video format. You can find DVI to VGA adapters that are also gender changers. Again, make sure you know whether you need male or female on each end of the adapter.
• 4. Buy mini VGA gender changers for laptops. Because of size limitations, VGA connectors on laptops are smaller and look a little different, but it is still VGA. If you want to plug your laptop into another monitor or a projector, you may have to buy an adapter that will also be a gender changer.
