ok, I'm working on making an SVGA extension cable and I can only have 12 conductors to work with. Are some of the pins unnecessary? From what I've researched so far, I think pins 5, 9, and 12 aren't used at all, but for some SVGA standards (VESA), they are.

Here's links to what I've found:

I'm really confused by all these SVGA standards. :eek:

Please HelP!

There are no SVGA connections,only VGA.Then you install Windows and your video card SVGA drivers.
:D
 
oops

I didn't quite put that right.Wouldn't it be easier to buy a ready made one ? Is Radio Shack near you or check the online store.Why is your monitor so far from the case ?
 
...after much toying around with a multimeter

I checked out several SVGA cables and monitors. All of them had continuity between pins 4, 10, and 11.

I wired up the cable extension in this fashion and after much hesitation, I plugged it in between the existing monitor cable and my PC. I was really happy to discover that the cable works and neither the monitor or my PC started smoking. :D
