I need one that has a small plug on it, as in the old ribben cable that was
used years ago for serial cables.
Basicly the cable only needs to be at least 50mm long because of the space
limitations and a lage plug won't fit in the space.

At 50mm you can use esentially any wire. Find a solder tail HD15 male
and female connecter and just solder the needed wires pin to pin.

I ended up doing that, and it works fine. In fact it is the monitor I'm
using right now.
Thanks for the help

I had problems with my old 20" sony monitor shadowing and not being crisp.
Was a monitor extension cable at fault. Tried 3 different ones, 2 were from
a different manufacturer and it still shadowed.
I nearly threw the monitor out!

50mm is not a long cable.

Pins 6,7,8 are the RGB ground returns. They shouldn't be lumped
together. A good quality extension cable will have 75 ohm coax for
each of the RGB signals. If you use ordinary wire, as is the case with
a cheap cable that I have, you may see ghosting at high resolutions. I
have made my own quality extension cables, for use with a KVM box, by
re-terminating VGA leads from scrapped monitors.

Wire all the pins straight through.
depending on how long "short" is using shielded conductors for the red,green,
and blue signals may be a good idea.
