Hi Roger,

Just looked in the new Maplin Catalogue.
Pages 213 and 214

Van Damme Professional Video Cable.
5 individual 75ohm cores

XX92A Red Series 5 Way Vid (Overall diameter 18.7mm) £4-99 per metre.
XS63T Miniature 5 Core Cable (Overall diameter 9.6mm) £8-49 per metre.

I havent used either of the above, but if you decide to try them please
report back to the group so that we all know. Be warned that trying to
fit even the 9.6mm diameter cable into a 15HD VGA connector will be a
nightmare resulting in several burnt fingers :-((

The cable I used at work was 5 individual 75ohm coax and 2 twisted
pairs for audio. Overall diameter was about 12mm. I found it easiest
to remove the grey outer sheath for about 150mm and feed the 5
individual coax cables into the VGA plug. It makes it much more
flexible and less and less likely to damage your equipment as the cable
is quite heavy and will not bend to much less than a 150mm radius.
Also make sure that all 3 of the RGB cables are exactly the same length
or the image will be misaligned.

Hope that helps

Keith

This is my first posting to this high quality discussions. Can Keith tell
me
where you can get good quality VGA cable (by the metre)from? I have an
iiyama Vision Master pro monitor and I need to reach my computer
approximately 4 to 5 metres away. A cable I bought off the shelf has
degraded the quality of the display.
Many thanks in advance.
