15-pin DE-15 port saver
This Monoprice adapter protects equipment ports from wear caused by frequent cable changes. It also works as an in-line coupler to join two DE-15 cables into a longer run. The unit is sold new and carries the manufacturer's lifetime warranty on cables. It is designed for VGA and SVGA video connections.
Thermals noise and power
The passive adapter draws no power and produces no heat or noise during operation. It simply passes the video signal through its internal contacts without active circuitry. No external supply or cooling is required in normal use.
Build and connectors
One end provides nut connectors for panel mounting while the other end uses screw connectors for cable attachment. This mixed hardware lets the saver secure to both equipment ports and line cables. Buyers needing a female-to-female gender changer should select part 1191 instead.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the 15-pin DE-15 port saver without cross-threading the nuts and screws?
Thread the nut-connector end onto the panel port by hand until snug, then attach the cable to the screw-connector end; forcing either side with a tool strips the threads.
Will the gold-plated contacts on this 101190 adapter need cleaning or replacement over time?
The contacts are passive metal; wipe with a dry lint-free cloth if dust builds up, but no scheduled replacement is required.
What is the first signal-length limit I hit when daisy-chaining two VGA cables through this coupler?
The VGA standard caps total run length; the coupler adds no active circuitry, so the combined cable length is the limiting factor.
