?? VGA cables are the basic connection used to link between a component and a monitor. The computer you're using right now has its own: the cable used to link the monitor to the video card. A basic VGA connection needs a cable, a 15-pin plug (the pins should be arranged in three rows of five pins) and three male RCA connectors to transmit the electronic signal. If you want to be able to hook up a video console to a monitor and you don't have a VGA cable, you can create one yourself VGA cables .Let us look make VGA cables concrete steps .

?? First use wire strippers to expose a few inches of CAT5 cable on the other end. Separate the eight wires into their color-coded pairs. Solder each of the four solid color wires onto the back of the center pin of the RCA plug. Some RCA plugs will have a jacket that you'll need to unscrew to expose the back of the center pin.

? Then connect CAT5 cable to the back of the 15-pin male connector. This will need to be done in a specific sequence to ensure a working connection. In your head, number the pins from 1 to 15, starting at the top left of the front of the male connector and numbering left to right. Solder the following cables to the back of the corresponding pin: Orange to Pin 1; Green to Pin 2; Blue to Pin 3; Orange-White to Pin 6; Green-White to Pin 7; Blue-White to Pin 8; Brown to Pin 13; Brown-White to Pin 14.

? Last assemble the pin connection by securing the 15-pin male connector to the 15-pin metal hood. Some 15-pin metal hoods will allow you to secure the 15-pin male connector by simply snapping it in. Others will require that you solder the male connector into the hood. If you decide to solder, secure the 15-pin male connector into the metal hood using your thumb, and carefully solder the connection of the hood and male connector using your soldering iron and rosin core solder.
