John Larkin posts so much under-informed stuff that being literal is a very tempting option.

Hmm, a 15-pin VGA connector. I've used those for preamp-out and bias-control-in analog connectors, get low-cost premade cables with four coax lines.

D-subs are 52 years old now, and still about the best connectors around.

I'm a fan of Displayport cables for similar uses. Some will be installed in a large cotton harvesting machine next month for testing a fire detection system.

HDMIs are interesting, too.

I've used those as well. The Displayport has that nice latch, though. HDMIs fall out if you tug on them or jiggle them.
It'll be interesting to see how well they survive a high-vibration environment. We might need to switch to DVI to avoid contact fretting.
