I need to put my monitor cable through a wall. Could I get away with cutting
the cable, passing through a small hole and then soldering it back together
again. Does anyone know if I will get interference problems or other such
problems?

Thanks for any input.

The cable connector is not exactly huge. Why not just cut a larger hole? It
is a hole (pun intended!) lot easier to patch drywall than it is to resolder
all of those wires.

By the way, I call it "drywall". Others call it "wallboard", "gypsum board",
etc..

Make a bigger hole.

At Your local hardware superstore you can find all kinds of wall plate type
fittings to make a larger hole smaller after such an operation, if cosmetics
are an issue. if you cut the hole behind the desk....

I can never remember which size to use for what -- do I drill that 13/32"
hole with an axe, or with a hatchet?

my neighbors say that the 42" chainsaw works best for that kinda job and
make sure you have the backhoe ready to fill the crater when you're done...
any old car will fill the hole nicely ands sprnkle a little dirt on top so
the weeds grow back the way they were

Repairing vga cables is not as easy as repairing the power cable after your
electric grass mower has cut through it.. what you need to do is cut a hole
in the wall that is large enough to pass the monitor through, and then get a
jobbing builder to come patch it up..
