I needed a longer VGA cable so I took two leads from old CRT monitors and worked out how they needed to be joined. I then soldered the wires insulating each joint with heatshrink sleeving. A larger diameter sleeve was put over the joints and then for additional protection was wrapped in a tape usually used for sealing antenna cable connections on radio towers. A loop was made and the same tape secured it to prevent straining the soldered joints. June 2017.
