DMS 59 PIN TO 2XVGA SPLITTER-DMS59-VGA

MicroWorld DMS Male To 2X Female Splitter

DMS-59 (Dual Monitor Solution, 59 pins) is Generally used for Computer Video Cards

It Provides two DVI or VGA Outputs in a Single Connector

An Adapter Cable is Needed for Conversion from DMS-59 (digital) to DVI (digital) or VGA (analog)

And Different types of Adapter Cables Exist

The Connector is four Pins High and 15 Pins Wide, with a Single Pin Missing from the Bottom Row

In a D-shaped shell, with Thumbscrew

The Advantage of DMS-59 is its ability to support two high resolution displays

Such as two DVI Single Link digital channels or two VGA analog channels, in a single DVI-size connector

Compact size lets a half-height Card Support two high Resolution Displays,

And a full-height Card (with two DMS-59 connectors) up to four High Resolution Displays

The DMS-59 Connector is used by ATI, NVIDIA, and Matrox for Video Cards Sold in Lenovo Thinkcentres

Viglen Genies and Omninos, Dell, HP, and Sun Computers

Some Confusion has been Caused by the fact that Vendors label Cards with DMS-59 as supports DVI

But the Cards have no DVI Connectors Built-in

Such cards, when Equipped with only a VGA Connector Adapter Cable

Cannot be Connected to a Monitor with only a DVI-D Input

A DMS-59 to DVI Adapter cable needs to be used with such Monitors

The DMS-59 Connector is Derived from the Molex Low Force Helix Connector

Which could be found in some earlier Graphics Cards

These ports are similar to DMS-59, but have all 60 pins present, whereas DMS-59 has one pin (pin 58) blocked

A connector plug with all 60 pins (such as a Molex 88766-7610 DVI-I splitter) does not fit into a properly keyed DMS-59 socket
