Does anyone know of an inexpensive source for an extension cable
like this? 2-6 feet. A VGA cable might work but often, these have
bridged grounds and/or some pins not connected.

I found lots of HD15 extensions with Google, but all of them seem to
be monitor extensions with the bridged grounds and an indeterminate
number of wires.

Would a pair of HD15 insulation displacement connectors and a ribbon
cable in between work? It won't carry much current and the cross will
be horrendous.

For a short run (1-2 feet), that might be a good solution. But it would
probably be #28 wire, right? A couple of the wires may need to carry
as much as 1.5 A.

Thanks.
