Then it's not a 15 pin serial (which I've never heard of either). It's a VGA cable. (The 37-pin cable you're avoiding also isn't quite a serial cable, though I'm pretty sure it has some serial signals on it.)

EDIT: On the cable all the pins are present, I don't know how to check if they're active or not.

The way to check is to use an ohmmeter to verify 1) continuity between corresponding pins on each connector, and 2)
noncontinuity between all pairs of pins on a single connector.
But you really shouldn't be abusing the system that way. Why aren't you using one of the official 37-pin extension cables?
