Do you need a crisp video signal for connecting your computer to your monitor? Our DisplayPort to VGA cable will allow you to send a high quality signal for optimal performance. The cables are fully shielded and can support resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz This cable is designed to go from a DisplayPort source to a VGA display. It will not convert a VGA port on your computer to DisplayPort. VGA cables are video only and are not able to send an audio signal. The DisplayPort connector resembles that of an HDMI connector, which can cause some confusion. A DisplayPort connector will have one side slightly squared off, where an HDMI connector will have both sides rounded. DisplayPort cables are great for sending your video signal between devices and is a simple plug and play solution. For all of your cable and accessories, choose Show Me Cables

Do you need a crisp video signal for connecting your computer to your monitor? Our Mini DisplayPort to DVI cable will allow you to send a high quality digital signal for optimal performance. Our Mini DisplayPort cables are made using 30 gauge conductors, gold plated connectors, and are fully shielded for maximum signal strength. The cables can support up to full 1080p at 60Hz. This cable is designed to go from a Mini DisplayPort source to a DVI display. It will not convert a DVI port on your computer to Mini DisplayPort. DVI is a video only cable and is not able to send an audio signal. A Mini DisplayPort connection can also be referred to as a Thunderbolt connection, frequently found on many Apple computers and laptops. The difference being that Thunderbolt is used to transfer data, much like that of a USB port, but can often double as a video output as well. Mini DisplayPort cables are great for sending your video signal between devices and is a simple plug and play solution. For all of your cable and accessories, choose Show Me Cables.

Do you need a crisp audio/video signal for connecting your computer to your monitor? Our DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable will allow you to send a high quality digital signal for optimal performance. DisplayPort has a similar form factor to HDMI which make it great for routing cable, but has caused some confusion. A DisplayPort connector will have one side slightly squared off, where an HDMI connector will have both sides rounded. DisplayPort cables were originally designed for computers, laptops, projectors and displays. However they are being incorporated into some high end TVs. Our DisplayPort cables are made using 28 gauge conductors, nickel plated connectors, and are fully shielded for maximum signal strength. The cables are certified for DisplayPort 1.2 standards and can support 10.8GB signal transmission and resolution up to 3,840 x 2,160. The cables are also capable of sending up to 8 channel audio, offering a simple solution for video and audio, inside of a single cable. DisplayPort cables are great for sending your A/V signal between devices and is a simple plug and play solution. For all of your cable and accessories, choose Show Me Cables

Do you need to install or repair your ethernet data cable? Our shielded RJ45 connector for Cat6a and Cat7 will provide a high quality, reliable connection for your data needs. For this installation you will need: Cat6a or Cat7 cable, a strip tool, scissors, the shielded connector, and a crimp tool. Please be aware that our shielded connectors for Cat6a or Cat7 require a specialty crimper and are not recommended to be used with a standard Cat5e or Cat6 crimp tool. Start by using the cable stripper to score the outside jacket. You will only need to rotate a few times as you do not want to damage the connectors inside the jacket. Pull off the outer jacket to reveal the overall shield. Remove the shield from around the conductors and fold back the drain wire. For Cat7 cable, there is an additional shield surrounding each pair. If you are installing a Cat7 cable, remove the shield from each pair as well. There is a small plastic covering holding the pairs in place, this can also be removed and discarded. Separate the pairs and cut off the spline at the base. Untwist the pairs and insert into the guide. We will be using the standard T568B wiring pinout. Then, insert the guide into the connector housing, making sure that it makes full connection at the tip of the housing. Coil the drain wire near the base of the connector to make your ground connection. Insert the connector into the front-loaded crimp connector and firmly squeeze to make termination. Finally, insert the cable into the side-opening to squeeze the strain relief onto the cable. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the shielded RJ45 connector for Cat6a and Cat7.

Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at the commonly used and often confusing DIN connectors. DIN connectors are frequently used in a variety of low voltage applications, ranging from audio and video to power, serial and data. We offer the connectors in both plastic and metal housings. Male and Female orientations. Mini DIN. And Panel mount. DIN connectors come in a variety of pin arrangements including: 3 pin, 4 pin, 5 pin, 6 pin, 7 pin, 8 pin and 13 pin. What can be confusing with DIN connectors is that the 5 pin and 8 pin connectors have slightly different configurations. Let’s take a closer look at the different styles. The 5 pin connector comes in a 270, 240, and 180 degree orientation. The 270 degree style looks like the number 5 you might see on a pair of dice. The 240 degree is formed in a U-shape. And the 180 degree is a small, half-circle. Now for the 8 pin connectors. There is a 270 and 262 degree orientation. These two can be hard to identify because they look very similar. The 270 degree is angled inward, almost making a complete circle. Where the 262 degree forms more of a U-shape and does not curve inward quite as much. There are also mini versions of the connectors ranging from 3 pin to 8 pin.. These are a smaller form factor compared to the standard DIN connectors. The two most common arrangements of mini DIN are the 6 pin and 4 pin. The 6 pin mini is used for PS/2 connectors, typically found on many older keyboards and mice. The 4 pin is used for S-video connections found on various home theater equipment. Hopefully this has cleared up any confusion on the different DIN connector types.

Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at the commonly used and often confusing DIN connectors. This is the 8 Pin mini DIN Female solder connector. To install, you will need the following items: low voltage cable, wire strippers, solder and soldering iron and the DIN connector. Start by inserting the plastic boot over the jacket. Measure how far you will need to strip back the jacket by holding the cable up against the base of the connector. Then, strip the cable jacket using the wire strippers. For this example, we are using Cat5e cable. You will also need to strip the individual conductors. Now comes the hard part. Soldering. If you are new to soldering, it is recommended to find a someone who is more experienced for best results. There are 8 solder points on the connector, corresponding to the pins at the front of the connector. Be aware, there is not a standard wiring for DIN 8 pin connectors and the wiring can widely vary between devices and applications. Please consult any wiring information you have available to determine which conductors should be wired to each pin. After you have soldered the necessary points on the connector, attach the plastic shell and slide up the boot. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the 8 Pin mini DIN Female solder connector. For all of your cable and connector needs, choose Show Me Cables.
