Hi...
I'm trying to replace an end to a 50' VGA cable that the end was damaged. Has anyone seen a 15-pin VGA cable with only 5 wires inside of it?
The end was so damaged, that I cannot tell where the wires were originally. If anyone knows the pinout for this type of cable, it would be alot of help. The cable is used to connect a projector from the the ceiling through an AV jack built into the conference table, so replacing the cable isn't really an option.
Thank you.

RGBHV I assume for your 5 wires. Each of those wires will be a miniature coax with a signal and ground. -

FadetoBright - Thank you for the links...
tiersten - no, it's a single metal foil shield 1x Red, 1x Green, 1x Blue, 1x White, and 1x Black. I just wasn't sure if some of those are jumpered together. I know (using my multimeter) that pin 1 = Red, Pin 3 = White, Ground = Green, Pin 14 = Black, Pin 13 = Blue. Pin 2 = a broken tip and some solder.
I know that this cable is my no means using any standard of color codes. -

Hmm... It has odd colour assignments if so. It looks like it is a RGBHV cable still but it doesn't use the coloured wires in a sensible way. You'll just have to work it out from testing with a multimeter or opening the plug.
