This is clearly a female serial connection, not a VGA port. The icon is for a computer connection, not a monitor. So, yes, it should work for you, it will just be a matter of getting software that can talk to your machine. srgvaz has given several inaccurate or inappropriate answers, he needs to get off if he doesn't want to be helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this is the cable for the serial connection you're trying to make. You may need to download software like putty to access the terminal unless the sewing machine has software to load onto your computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A typical serial port on a machine will be a male and the corresponding cable will be a female. On your dark picture it appears to be a female port, and that would need a male cable. If so that would be a VGA Port that requires a VGA cable that you would then connect to a display screen.
