DB15HD Splitter (Y) Cables
- DB15 High Density 3-row connectors:
- Y connection cable
- One Male connector; two Female connectors
General Description
These 'Y' cables contain a DB15-HD (high density) male connector on one end and two (2) DB15-HD female connectors on the other end. Use these cables to connect two devices to a single DB15HD port (thus forming a 'Y' or 'T' connection). All 15 pins are wired to all connectors, and the pin wiring is 1:1 (ie pin 1 to pin 1; pin 2 to pin 2, etc). A foil shield surrounds the cable conductors and connects the metal DSUB shells. The wire gauge is 28AWG. These cables are gray in color.
Note that the DB15HD connector has 3 rows of pins. Technically, the correct term for a DB15HD connector is DE15, but that term is not commonly used.
The cable ends are shown below:

These Y cables are ideal for connecting multiple devices to a single connector. This is especially convenient when equipment implements multiple I/O functions on a single interface port, in which case more than one device may need simultaneous access to the port connector.
Possible applications:
- Elecraft K3 Radio Accessory 'ACC' Port Splitter
- Any interface port containing multiple I/O lines
Optional Extra-Long Jack Screw Kit
Winford now offers extra-long jackscrews as an accessory that can be purchased separately if daisy-chaining cables is desired. The existing thumbscrews would be removed and the long jackscrews installed in their place, and secured with the included nuts and washers on the back of the cable. See photo on right for example or order below. The jack screws are designed to accept the thumbscrews on a mating cable, helping secure the cable firmly in place.
These 35mm Jack Screws can also be used to panel mount D-Sub Extension Cables. We recommend using a max of 1/16" (0.0625") for panel thickness when mounting any D-Sub extension cables. For D-sub cutout recommendations please see our D-Sub Panel Cutout Drawing.
