Extron SYM BNCF/0.5 (part number 26-531-01) — a 6 in (15 cm) adapter that takes a 15-pin HD male connector out to five colour-coded 75 ohm BNC females.

The male VGA end is what distinguishes this from the SYF version: it plugs directly into the video output of a source or the input of a display, rather than needing a further cable to get there. Six inches is deliberately short, sized to sit behind a panel or inside a rack without a loop of spare cable to manage. The five legs are Extron MHR-5 cable, part 22-020-03 — genuine 75 ohm coax, not thin patch wire. The moulded VGA shell is grounded for ESD protection under an overall foil shield, and the cable is NEC CM rated.
