[Elecraft] Cables, again

I was looking for a source for custom-length VGA cables for a K3-KPA-KAT
combination, and came across a company on the Web called CableWholesale.
Mindful of the cautions on this reflector to use only "straight-through"
cables such as Elecraft's own (which unfortunately do not come in custom
lengths), I inquired of CableWholesale how I could tell from their on-line
catalogue which of their products were straight-through. The reply was
this: "Sorry but what you are saying isn't correct. All SVGA cables are
wired straight through." Hmmm. They used "SVGA" rather than "VGA." So I
looked that up. The "S" seems to indicate a superior quality, but the
on-line sites made no mention of a difference as to straight-throughness.
Could any of the EEs out there help me understand this?
Thanks,
Ted, KN1CBR
