DSR - Distance Selling Regulation; A law in the UK which protects customers who use (mainly) internet based retailers. It entitles the customer to return an item for a full refund if the item is returned within 7 days. The item must be unopened and untested, so the retailer can put the item back up for sale.

That's not correct. The item can be opened, inspected, and does not need to be fit for resale.

Packaging

The purpose of the DSRs is to allow customers to examine goods they have ordered as they would in a shop. If that requires opening the packaging and trying out the goods, then they have not breached their duty to take reasonable care of the goods.
In these circumstances, you cannot insist that customers return the goods as new or in their original packaging. You may ask customers to take care when they open the package or return goods with the original packaging, but you cannot insist on this.
The DSRs do not provide for goods to be returned in a fit state for resale.
You should think carefully about your packaging and how easy it is to open and put back together so that the integrity of the product can be maintained to enable resale.

I know I'm being picky here but D-sub is a subminature D type connector and can be from 9 to 50 pins.
The 15 pin version is used for VGA connectors.

Apart from that, helpful post.
