DB-15 male-to-female extension

This Black Box Corporation cable extends a 15-pin DB-15 connection by five feet with a moulded, shielded construction. The male connector on one end and female connector on the other provide a straight-through link for legacy data or video equipment. It weighs approximately 0.44 pounds and carries a lifetime limited warranty.

Suited for legacy device spacing

Builders maintaining older industrial, medical or display hardware that uses DB-15 interfaces will find the length and shielding practical for rack or bench layouts. Users needing a different pin count, a right-angle hood or a modern digital interface such as HDMI or DisplayPort should select a different cable type.

Five-foot reach for desktop runs

The five-foot span comfortably bridges equipment on the same bench or adjacent rack shelves without excess slack. Longer cross-room runs or installations requiring plenum-rated jackets exceed what this cable is designed to handle.

Questions about this item

What port does the 15-pin DB-15 male end of this cable plug into?

The male connector fits a 15-pin DB-15 female port on the host device or controller you are connecting.

Can I keep using my existing 15-pin DB-15 female equipment with this cable?

Yes, the 15-pin DB-15 female end mates with your current male connector, extending the link by 5 ft.

How can I verify the cable is seated correctly after installation?

Both thumb screws should be tight, the moulded boots flush, and the connected devices should recognise the link immediately.
