Anyone know how many of the 15 pins/wires of a PC VGA monitor cable are
actually active and which pins numbers they are???

I'm considering running a cable for an auxilliary nav station PC monitor,
and will need to make the cable run without the end connector attached. If
I
can away with using use a thinner cable (implying fewer active wires
needed)
it be a big help.

From the top of my head: Red, Green and Blue each have a screened wire, so
that's 6 pins. Then there's Hsync and Vsync, also screened. another 4 pins
(every screen has it's own pin). Then there are a few pins designated for
identifying the type of monitor. Try to google for VGA connector.
