      I’m sorry to tell you that was 20 years ago.

        Na, some of us still deal with these style connectors. Not so much for video, but it’s still used for rs-232 (control signal) and other data. They are great when you dont want the connector to ever fall out.

          I’ve seen plenty of medical devices with rs232 ports. And I’m sure there’s a lot of legacy machinery out there which require them.

          If you have a factory and your computer-controlled machinery was installed in 1995 but still works just fine, you’re probably not going to invest in newer equipment until it becomes a problem.

      Screw loosie in tight as you can by hand, give the plug a moderate side to side jiggle, loosen tighty first then loosie.
