This pinout was used with the Silicon Graphics Inc [SGI] Monitor Port on a
D-Sub 15 pin connector. D-Sub is short hand for D-Subminiature.
A page
which lists manufacturers of connectors is listed on the D-Sub Connector
Manufacturers.
The connector used in this interface is a 15-pin D-Sub
or DA15 [DA-15], but may also be [incorrectly] called a DB-15.
The
mistake is normally ignored because a DB15 does not exist, so you get a
DA15 by definition.
However; the connector style is a Subminiature D
type, and has a shell style of DA-15 [D-Sub Mechanical Drawing].
Note this is an out-dated or obsolete interface.

Note that the connector name is mis-represented so often that even the web address for this page contains D-Sub15, instead of DA-15.
