What is DMS-59 connector?
DMS-59 is a 59-pin electrical connector generally used for computer video cards. It provides two DVI or VGA outputs on a single connector. An adapter cable is needed for conversion from DMS-59 (digital) to DVI (digital) or VGA (analog), and different types of adapter cables exist.
Is DMS-59 the same as VGA?
It provides two Digital Visual Interface (DVI) or Video Graphics Array (VGA) outputs in a single connector. The compact size lets a half-height card support two high resolution displays, and a full-height card (with two DMS-59 connectors) up to four high resolution displays.
Does DMS 59 carry audio?
DMS59 is a video output interface, does not output audio.
What is DVI vs VGA?
The main difference between VGA and DVI is in picture quality and the way the video signals travel. VGA connectors and cables carry analog signals while DVI can carry both analog and digital. DVI is newer and offers better, sharper display compared to VGA. In contrast to HDMI, neither VGA nor DVI support audio.
Can you plug a DVI-D cable into a DVI-I port?
DVI-D provides a digital only signal, while DVI-I can support digital and analog signals. DVI-I is fully compatible with DVI-D; all flat panel monitors that have a DVI-D connector will work fine with DVI-I receptacles on the video cards.
What does DVI port look like?
A DVI connector is characteristically colored white (as opposed to a VGA connector which is colored blue). For every graphics card that features a DVI connector, the number of pins and layout of the pins on the DVI connector will vary depending on what type of DVI connector is found on the graphics card.
What does DVI-A stand for?

What are the DVI and VGA outputs on the DMS-59?
It provides two Digital Visual Interface (DVI) or Video Graphics Array (VGA) outputs in a single connector. A Y-style breakout cable is needed for the transition from the DMS-59 output (digital + analogue) to DVI (digital) or VGA (analogue), and different types of adapter cables exist.
Will a Molex 88766-7610 DVI-I splitter fit into a DMS-59 socket?
A connector plug with all 60 pins (such as a Molex 88766-7610 DVI-I splitter) does not fit into a properly keyed DMS-59 socket.
How many pins are on a Molex connector?
The connector is four pins high and 15 pins wide, with a single pin missing from the bottom row, in a D-shaped shell, with thumbscrews. As of December 2020 , this adapter cable was listed as obsolete by its primary vendor Molex.
