Do they make such a thing? I'm trying to feed a VGA cable through a thin tube which the connectors won't fit through.

I've never seen one. You might try getting a VGA extension cable and cutting the ears (where the screw goes through) off of it. At least that way if it doesn't work yyou haven't borked your CRT cable.

If you click HERE you'll get a description of how to run a VGA signal over Cat5 cabling - that should take care of your "thin tube" issue. :)

Any idea where I could buy a kit for that? I don't want to solder.

What is it you're trying to accomplish? Perhaps there is a better way than the one you're planning. How small is the tubing (inside diameter) and how long does the cable need to be?

You must come from a different school; I was always taught that learning to solder well is a character building skill. :cool:
