VGA over CAT5e

Hi Guys,

I need to get a VGA signal from the Nav Station in my boat to the
monitor in the bridge. I could just run a VGA cable (about 4m worth)
but I need to pass the cable through some small holes for the looming
(sp?) and the DB15 connectors wont fit unless I make the hole bigger.

I am thinking about running the VGA singal over CAT5e, which a Google
search seems to suggest is possible. I was wondering if anyone had any
better ideas, keeping costs fairly low.

Has anyone here had any success cutting the end off a VGA cable and
wiring on a new DB15 for example?

If you are handy with a soldering iron there is no problem. You may
have to buy a new plug/socket though as the one you cut off may be
potted.
