Maplin do it by the metre - just their search engine is crap and I
couldn't find it (although their site appears to be completely
buggered now)

Not ideal, but if you could get a suitable lead that fans out into
smaller connectors, and connect two of them (one 'in', one 'out'), you
could get the smaller connectors through a smaller hole. Problem is you
may not get the control signals passed through, not to mention a bit of
loss in the connectors.


Fine if you want Comp video and audio. Not so good for me as I want RGB.
Also, as you say, I'd need to sort out the control signals. I'd end up
having to make my own anyway :-(


No, I saw some that did RGB too.
