Description
Pan Pacific AD‑LGC‑H15MM — Low Profile VGA HiDen 15‑Pin Gender Changer (Male ↔ Male)
Product Overview
The Pan Pacific AD‑LGC‑H15MM is a low profile HiDen (high density) 15‑pin D‑Sub gender changer, with male connectors on both ends. It is designed to couple two female HD15 (VGA-style) ports in a compact footprint, ideal where space is limited or depth behind panels is shallow. This model is part of Pan Pacific’s passive adaptor series, specifically designed for use in environments requiring minimal connector depth and clean inline connectivity.
This version of the AD-LGC-H15MM is specified without pin 9, making it ideal for systems that do not require a power signal (such as 5V on pin 9 in some VGA configurations). The omission of pin 9 also reduces potential shorting risks and signal interference in simplified signal-only transmission scenarios.

Use Cases & Best Practices
-
Tight-Space VGA Panel Installations
Ideal for mounting behind wall plates, control panels, or rack-mounted faceplates where clearance is minimal. Ensures flush mounting without stressing connectors or causing bulging.
-
Direct VGA Cable Coupling
Enables quick connection between two female VGA cables or port jacks without the need for bulky adapters. Maintains a professional, clean install finish.
-
Signal-Only VGA Systems
Suitable for signal-only VGA configurations where pin 9 (typically used for +5V power) is not required. Reduces unnecessary voltage lines in environments where they are not needed.
-
Rack System Cabling
In equipment racks or A/V hubs where adjacent ports and limited depth are concerns, this low-profile gender changer minimizes spatial interference and maintains proper cable management.
Example Installation Scenario
An AV technician is wiring a conference room with a VGA wall plate connected to a projector input. Both ends of the setup use female VGA connectors. The AD‑LGC‑H15MM allows the technician to join these female ends cleanly and securely behind the wall plate. Its low-profile design prevents wall obstruction and stress on the connectors, maintaining both aesthetic and electrical integrity.
Another common use case would be within an AV rack, where space between patch panels and rear bulkhead connections is limited. This gender changer fits easily without interfering with other panel-mounted gear or straining connector pins.
