[comp.os.vms] Extending VR260 cable on a VAXstation II

mxc@ecsvax.UUCP (Mark Cooperstein) (11/12/87)

    Some time ago ( a year??) there were some postings concerning
lengthening the cable of the monochrome VR260 monitor on a VAXstation.
I cant seem to successfully do this without getting a degraded video   
signal.  I need to lengthen the cable by about 15 feet, and have
made an extension cable with a shielded 15 conductor cable to a
male/female DB15 connector.  Does anyone know if this can be
done? Do I need to use special cable for the video signals, and if
so, what pins on the DB15 have the video/sync signals.  Do I need
any special cable?  I'm currently using Belden 9541 which is a
15 conductor, 24 AWG with a foil shield.
   Any help on this will be appreciated.

                 Thanks,
                    Mark Cooperstein
