The socket is a metal piece with an inside thread on one end and an outside
thread on the other end. You commonly see them on serial connectors usually on
the equipment the cable attached too.
The bottoming out I was refering too was it you use a standoff you may have too

I have a Sun machine with a 13W3 framebuffer output, which is connected
via a Monoprice VGA adapter to my LCD monitor. It works great, but the
ends of the standoff bolts without nuts come together where the VGA
cable meets the adapter; that is to say, the VGA cable's nuts are on the
far side of the
