Post by thread:[EE] Custom short length VGA ribbon cable supplier

Hi Im looking for a source of VGA cables with 15 pin D- Sub male connectors on each end, all 15 pins connected and a cable length of approx 30cm. Ribbon cable would be fine but doesn't really matter. Anyone know anywhere that sells such a thing. I cant beleive theyre so hard to get hold of. I'd make them myself but prior experience has taught me those DSub plugs are more trouble than theyre worth to hand solder. Thanks Andre

Cablesdirect.com has them listed for $8+. They list 3 feet but they do custom work. Be careful you order the right connectors, most are cable extensions!

IIRC Digikey carries them, but IIRC they're quite expensive. You can also get DB15 IDC connectors for ribbon cable. But it seems showmecables.com has them, and you can also try iofast.com , cablestogo.com . http://www.showmecables.com/category/VGA-Cables.aspx?q=&pg=1&ps=25&fq={attr_length_sm:1%20FT} Cheer,s -Neil.
