INTRODUCTION
The screw-down type 15-pin D-sub connector is designed for use with video cables
having three (3) coax lines (R,G,B) and four (4) twisted pair lines with two (2) conductor
lines and a drain wire. Numerous configurations of video cables exist, signal names are
given to accommodate the various video cable types with different conductor colors.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
- 2mm slotted screwdriver
- Wire cutters
- Wire strippers
- Cable stripper

STEP 3
Before inserting wires for termination, turn
screws counter-clockwise to ensure all
clamps are completely open. (See Fig. 1)
Insert coaxial center conductors, coaxial
shields, and conductors into appropriate
slots of terminal board by signal name in
accordance with the pinout table.
Turn screws clockwise
to ensure all clamps
are properly closed and wires are secure.

STEP 2
Identify conductor to appropriate signal
name per pinout table.
Due to the wide variety of video cable:
1. There is no standard color code for the
conductors other than the coaxial Red,
Green, and Blue.
2. The only certain way to identify correct
conductors is to perform a continuity test.
3. There may be unused conductors for
your application.
