    Default Need a VGA male to male connector. Where???

    I need a VGA male to male connector (to join two VGA male connectors) as soon as possible. Anyone know where I can get one? Ive checked the store websites of futureshop, bestbuy, thesource, memoryexpress. Nothing.

    If anyone has suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.

    You can get one rush shipped from Monoprice.com. It shouldn't be too expensive if you're only shipping one cable.

    EDIT: nm, I just priced it out and it's: Grand Total
    $31.95 USD, for the UPS Worldwide Express Saver: 1~3 business days

    Not cheap, but should be here fast.

    you can't connect male connectors with male connectors, one of them needs to be female, which one is it?

    Oops, I should be more clear. Both ends are VGA Male, so I need to connect those two.

    I don't really get why this would be required. I'm missing something.

    A VGA accessory always ends with the same end... a male. A video card always has a female connector. Under what application would you need to attach male to male?

    Think of it as real life. Males should never go into other males.

    Ohhh... I just saw the pic. I guess there is a gender change operation that one can perform after all. Still feel a little sketchy about the whole thing personally...

    maybe because the OP has two cords and instead of paying out to buy one longer one he just wants to join two to travel a certain distance.

    To join two cables together, to make them longer? MemEx has these, so does Rat Shack, or any electronics store:

    I had to do this at our work. We started to run dual monitors but for some reason the DVI out on the card wouldnt work in dual, but the VGA in on the monitors wouldnt work in dual. It will work if you plug 2 monitors into the VGA through a splitter out of the DVI.

    Problem was, the VGA to DVI adapter had the wrong end on it and we had to use these at every station too.



    That is the best I can think you would need this for, besides the cheap extender cable scenario.

    Well if you guys really want to know, the reason is for my CarPC. My new lilliput monitor has a different gender connector which I need to connect with the computer in the trunk. I guess if I cant find one then Ill just buy a new VGA cable with the required gender. But 7m + VGA cables are expensive, I figure a gender changer would be cheaper.
