How do i know that the vga on my tv is a male or female?

Question

i wanna buy a vga cable. but dunno how to recognise male or female both on my tv and on my pc. please help. does it have any colour codes??

Answer 1

No colour codes I don't thinks..

Look at it like - Male goes into Female..

Example is the socket on your wall is FEMALE, the plug you put into it is MALE..

Think with a VGA lead, if it has pins visible, it's male end, if it's got holes to accept those pins, it;s female.

Answer 2

Cables are known as male or female because they look incredibly phallic. I know it sounds like I'm making it up but it's true. The cable with the hole at the end is the female and the cable that goes into that hole is the male. Of course you can always go into an electrical shop and ask them there and they'll tell you the same thing.

Answer 3

all tv/moniters ive seen have a female conector.get a male/male vga lead that will do the job.

Answer 4

One more note, a device that requires power or a signal, will always have a male connector.  A device that delivers power out  or a signal out has a female connector.
