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