You are looking at a high-density (three-row female DB-15 connector on the computer as shown in the figure below. What device uses this connector? USB storage devices External moderns that use a serial port VGA/SVGA monitors IEEE 1284 printers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

:) me too.. thats why i googled hahah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Serial vs. Video: In the D series connectors the DE9 and DE15 are used for serial ports and video ports. Serial uses as few as 3 pins, 5 being more common. That is why it only needs a DB9. Video uses like 12 or 13, which is why they chose the DE15. Oh, and the E part of DE## is the size of the D shell. They also had DA, DB, and a number of others. So when people call the small serial the DB9, they are wrong. The larger one is DB and the small one, which was added later if I recall, is DE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature Way more than you needed to know... hehe. But people called these things by the wrong names for years.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

My point is that your question has no solution. They told you to look for a DB-15, which is NOT on the picture. The person that wrote the question does not know their computer science. Which would be a fun fact to point out to your teacher. They are teaching you the wrong thing.
