Pros and Cons of DB9 D-Subminiature Connectors

Serial communication used to be one of the major ways to connect peripherals like scanners, joysticks and printers to PCs for several years. One of the most commonly used cable connector for this type of communication was 9-pin D-Subminiature connector which is also known as DB9 cable or a DE-9 cable. DB9 serial cables  has nine pins which were enough to carry data in the series. But it has certain drawbacks which made their usage less frequent. People started to prefer  USB cables  over DB9 cables. However, if you shop for electronics, you will still find several devices having DB9 cables or ports on them. Let us check out some of the advantages and disadvantages of DB9 D Subminiature Connectors. Advantages of DB9 Subminiature Connectors DB9 connectors have several advantages. You can easily customize them with 9 individual pins to carry serial data. Although the speed of these connectors is low as compared to other standards like USB, the length of these cables ...

Understanding the Difference between VGA and SVGA Cables

For connecting display to the signal source, you need to have a cable. In case you need analog signals, you can use VGA cables that are built exactly according to SVGA monitor cable standards. As the SVGA standard did not modify the electrical standards of VGA, SVGA cable is not very different to VGA cable. In fact, they are pretty much the same and VGA monitor cable can also replace SVGA. Through this blog, we will acquaint you with the similarities and differences between these two cables. How to differentiate between VGA and SVGA? SVGA monitor cables   are better than VGA cables when it comes to keeping the signals intact and perform better when VGA cable signals start deteriorating. This is because SVGA cables are thicker and have better shielding. Some of these cables have gold plated pins which help to improve transmission happening between the male plug and the female port. But if you want this kind of enhancement, it might cost you a lot. Also, SVGA cables are a littl...
