Should point out that the Keene catalogue is a 16Mb download

 

OK for broadband , an hour for dial up tho , it is 129 pages long.

• 1- Red
  
• 2- Green
  
• 3- Blue
  
• 4- ID bit
  
• 5- no connection
  
• 6- Red Ground
  
• 7- Green Ground
  
• 8- Blue Ground
  
• 9- no connection
  
• 10- Ground
  
• 11- ID bit
  
• 12- ID bit
  
• 13- Horizontal Sync
  
• 14- Vertical Sync
  
• 15- no connection
  

You don't neccesarialy need to connect anything other than the red, green, blue (and their grounds) and the ground on pin 10, and the Sync's.

Only way to be sure with your cable is to test it, use a multimeter with the end you chop off, bare the wires and test which goes to which pin. :D

One neat trick, which saves soldering, is to get a "back-to-back" VGA gender changer adaptor - the kind that have the 2 plugs directly mounted to each other, not the ones with the plastic bit in the middle. RS do them for about 8 quid, so you'll probably be able to get them for less than a fiver elsewhere :D

 

Cut a hole to suit it in a blank socket plate, mount it up, and connect your pre-made cable (which needs to have the "wrong" gender at one end!) to the back. Needs a deepish socket box, but no soldering.....
