You want a 15-conductor cable, with each conductor wired pin-for-pin 
between the DB-15 connectors on both ends, and no connection between 
pins. There should also be a shield, connected at each end to the DB-15 
shell (and ONLY to the shells).

And "VGA" or "SVGA" should be removed from the discussion -- they 
describe a computer video data interchange format that needs fewer than 
15 conductors, but uses DB15 connectors as a standard to differentiate 
it from other computer cables.
