Hey /g/ents,
how much stress can a VGA-connector hold?
i recently got into a dabate how many you would need to hold a car in the air. My bet was about 80. I thought, the problem ist not the connector itself, more the transition between cabel to conector.
Hdmi sucks because you probably need about 5000 to do the same job.

Sure, HDMI is flimsy as fuck compared to other cables, but why on earth would know the answer to your question.
>>60867541
I don't think there is a standard for tensile strength, so it depends if you're using cheapo VGA cables or somewhat more durable ones.

I have not made a tensile test on my computer, but I can lift laptop with the cable (assuming screws).
I can also lift a monitor.
I don't have anything worthless to throw around but I think it can hold about 10 times the weight of a laptop.
a small car (aygo, 101, up etc) weigh about 900kg.
If 10 times the weight of my laptop is accurate, you could lift it with 45 connectors.
You should do a tensile test though.

Very good. I sadly lack the equipment for acurate tests.
but i think 10 times the weight of your laptop is a bit optimistic.
and >>60867596 of course you are right
