Trace 23 claims to their source records
C013A · P013
DVI-D single-link uses a digital-only contact layout distinct from dual-link and DVI-I.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
Source links: S411 · S843 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C013B · P013
Dell distinguishes 18 grid contacts in single-link DVI cables from 24 in dual-link cables. The flat blade is a separate visual feature and is not included in this numbered-grid count.
Claim scope: Grid-count convention; not the total of all visible metal, connected conductors or PCB terminals.
Source links: S414 · S411 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C013C · P013
Molex distinguishes digital single-link, digital dual-link and analog cable families and states that plug contacts may be partially loaded according to the signal set.
Claim scope: Manufacturer cable-family scope. No complete single-link terminal assignment is supplied here.
Source links: S412 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014A · P014
DVI-D dual-link uses a fuller digital contact grid than single-link DVI-D.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
Source links: S018 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014B · P014
DDWG DVI 1.0 Table 5-1 defines 24 numbered digital-only positions. Pin 8 is not connected in that table; positions 4/5, 12/13 and 20/21 carry the additional TMDS data pairs.
Claim scope: Full digital-only interface assignment from the named specification; not a guarantee that an exact device implements every signal.
Source links: S411 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014C · P014
Dell SE2416HM documentation shows a numbered 24-position DVI-D grid but labels positions 4, 5, 12, 13, 20 and 21 Floating. Its implementation must not be substituted into a universal dual-link pinout.
Claim scope: Exact manual table, page 44. Other source-specific labels remain separate from the DDWG table.
Source links: S413 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014D · P014
Dell documents E-Port docks with DVI connectors accepting dual-link-shaped cables but wired for single-link operation. It also identifies the source, cable, display and any adapter as separate dual-link requirements.
Claim scope: Named legacy dock example and documentation checklist, not a universal resolution limit or all-dock inventory.
Source links: S414 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014E · P014
StarTech DVI2VGAE is an active adapter with DVI-D input and VGA output; the hardware table lists no audio.
Claim scope: Named direction and video-only conversion. The pictured DVI connector is a dual-link form; pin loading is not a resolution guarantee.
Source links: S493 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C015A · P015
DVI-I distinguishes an integrated analog/digital interface from digital-only DVI-D.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
Source links: S843 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C015B · P015
DDWG Table 5-2 defines the combined interface as 24 numbered positions plus C1–C5. Pin 8 carries analog vertical sync, C1/C2/C3 carry analog color channels, C4 horizontal sync and C5 their analog return.
Claim scope: Combined interface assignment; analog and digital paths do not imply simultaneous multiple-display operation or exact source support.
Source links: S411 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C015C · P015
Molex labels its numbered illustration as a DVI-I receptacle front view: the 1–8 row is above 9–16 and 17–24, with the analog group on the right. The DDWG plug and receptacle drawings use opposing views.
Claim scope: Read connector type and viewing side before applying numbers. Not a solder-side or PCB drawing.
Source links: S412 · S411 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C015D · P015
DDWG distinguishes a digital-only interface from a combined analog/digital interface; the digital-only receptacle lacks sockets for the analog pins. Dell distinguishes active conversion circuitry from passive adapters.
Claim scope: A passive mechanical adaptation cannot establish an analog signal from a digital-only source. Exact direction, supported modes and power remain product-specific.
Source links: S411 · S414 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C015E · P015
StarTech DVIVGAMF is a passive DVI-I-to-VGA adapter; its instructions refer DVI-D users to a separate converter.
Claim scope: Named adapter for a DVI-I output and VGA display. The source does not approve arbitrary DVI-I devices, modes or mechanical pairings.
Source links: S494 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016A · P016
The familiar VGA-style HD15 connector has three rows of five contact positions.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only

C016B · P016
Dell P2016 Rev. A02, page 15, assigns its VGA example as follows: 1 red video, 2 green video, 3 blue video, 4 ground, 5 self-test, 6 red return, 7 green return, 8 blue return, 9 computer 5 V / 3.3 V, 10 sync ground, 11 ground, 12 DDC data, 13 horizontal sync, 14 vertical sync, 15 DDC clock.
Claim scope: Exact manual assignment and numbered source view only; not a universal VGA wiring map, supply instruction or authorization to modify a cable.
Source links: S393 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016C · P016
The NEC VT37 manual, page 55, differs from the Dell P2016 example: pin 5 is ground rather than self-test, pin 9 is not connected rather than a computer-supply label, and pin 11 is SCART sync rather than ground.
Claim scope: Comparison of two named device manuals only. Differences are not reconciled into one universal pinout or a manufacturing defect diagnosis.
Source links: S393 · S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016D · P016
NEC VT37 page 14 documents separate RGB/VGA and audio cables for its computer connection. Its page-55 COMPUTER connector table contains video, sync and control assignments rather than an audio channel.
Claim scope: Conventional RGB/VGA role illustrated by this exact device; do not infer that a proprietary combined cable has no separate audio conductors.
Source links: S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016E · P016
NEC VT37 page 16 documents a component source connected to its COMPUTER input through the ADP-CV1 15-pin-to-three-RCA adapter and a three-RCA component cable. The manual separately identifies composite VIDEO input and audio connections.
Claim scope: Named component-capable input example, not evidence that arbitrary VGA outputs generate component or composite video, or that a connector-only adapter converts signal formats.
Source links: S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016F · P016
The DVI2VGAE instructions describe a DVI source feeding a VGA monitor or projector and include USB power support for low-powered DVI ports.

C116A · P116
StarTech lists DVI-I single-link as a 23-pin connector form.
Claim scope: Identification and explicitly scoped documentation only; not an end-to-end connection approval
Source links: S093 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C116B · P116
DVI-I can accommodate analog and digital signals, but actual device support must be checked.
Claim scope: Identification and explicitly scoped documentation only; not an end-to-end connection approval
Source links: S093 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C116C · P116
Molex’s 26 June 2015 sheet identifies 0743232031 as a digital/analog single-link DVI component with 23 circuits.
Claim scope: Exact archived component example; not a measured universal connector dimension or electrical capability of an unknown device.
Source links: S415 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C116D · P116
Molex separately illustrates a digital/analog single-link cable family and notes that contact loading depends on the signal set. A single-link combined form is distinct from digital-only DVI and from a fully populated dual-link interface.
Claim scope: Cable-family distinction and partial-loading caveat; no inferred assembly pin mapping.
