Favorite plugins of the past, and yours?

Today, it's all about HDMI and DisplayPort. But I have to say that I found some plug-in connections from the past much more exciting! My favorite is the AV cinch cable z.b. Previously used on the Nintendo Wii console in my teens to allow image and video transmission…

That had something to connect his console in such a way, incidentally also dusted the old scart connection on my television, which I used to use for VHS and DVD movies. Today I have only an HDMI connection to the Blu-Ray player and the Xbox One X…

It has somehow something longing that such connectors on my television are all damn to put into it.

But tell me! What was that and is your favorite connector, I already mentioned mine in the link…

At that time there were still quite few RCA cables, there was only the DIN connection. That was a five-pin connector, which was merged into a connector. That was my first and then favorite connection.

Only by the way not TV, because that is very far away, but TV, because you see it in the distance.

And here I'm on the subject: When it started with video, there was a 6-pin DIN plug, and of which die-cast. Housing. They had really solid pins and the case was then practically unbreakable. Also here one had 12V, e.g. To operate a small preview monitor over it, and a switching voltage controlled the signal direction. However, there was only SD video and mono sound at this time. This was then replaced by these disgusting tin can scart plugs. Here I would have preferred the 25-pin Sub-D connector, with the possibility of screwing, or even the Centronix plug with clips - or just about the same as the old printer cable for the AV connection from TV to VCR,

Also, the 9 pin Sub-D was great, especially for mice, since there was never a loose connection.

Thunderbolt 3.

Unfortunately not very common, but technically extremely powerful with small size.

Very interesting!

Even if the name sounds more like a fighter, than a cable or connector…
