Extron SYM BNCM/0.5 (part number 26-533-01) — a 6 in (15 cm) VGA to five-BNC-male pigtail for landing RGBHV on BNC inputs at point-blank range.

Half a foot sounds trivial until you are working behind a switcher, a distribution amplifier or a rack-mounted monitor whose BNC inputs sit inches from the VGA source. A longer cable there becomes a coil of slack to dress and hide. This pigtail terminates a molded 15-pin HD male connector into five color-coded 75 ohm BNC male plugs over the shortest run Extron builds in the series, using the same MHR-5 mini high resolution cable as its longer siblings so the electrical behaviour matches the rest of the plant.

Key Capabilities

• Red, green, blue, horizontal sync and vertical sync each travel on their own 75 ohm coax.
• Male BNC ends plug straight into equipment jacks with no gender changer required.
• Extron MHR-5 cable puts five 26 AWG conductors into one jacket instead of five loose leads.
• Per-conductor shielding of 100% aluminum foil with a 95% tinned copper serve.
• Grounded VGA shell offers an electrostatic discharge path away from the source card.
• NEC CM rated, non-plenum construction.

Where It Is Used

Inside equipment racks and lecterns, on test and QC benches, behind BNC-input reference monitors, and in patch fields where a source needs to reach an adjacent panel without a metre of coiled cable stuffed behind it.
