Jack,

It is not identical to most monitor connectors.  I have a half dozen 
monitor cables and all of them are missing a pin 9 connection (I think 
it's pin 9 - it's one of the BAND pins in any case).  If you don't plan 
to use the BAND signals, then you might be able to get by with a 
computer VGA cable.  I could not find a cable with all 15 pins connected 
through from any of the usual vendors including Mouser, RadioShack, and 
any of the computer parts suppliers that I looked at.  Someone on this 
group pointed me to 
http://www.cablewholesale.com/specs/svga-cable/10h1-20203.htm.  I bought 
this cable and verified that it does have all 15 pins connected through 
and no pins shorted together and it is working well for me.
