VGA isn't always good, but when it is, it isn't

Lightbulb  VGA isn't always good, but when it is, it isn't
Hi nerds,

So sick and tired of VGA cables. I've got a few here and only one of them correctly pushes the SOG on my devices. Pisses me off. I've bought a few recently with long lengths and it's not cheap shit but they just don't work. 

Does anyone know a vendor of VGA cables that work well? Or a reseller that can be trusted. It seems to me that the older cables are the best.

Cheers
Rich

I've had tons of luck with Extron.
I use one with my Octane, and seriously, a 8 meters Extron cable gives better signal than the 2m VGA cable that came with a cheapo Samsung monitor that I got 3 years ago.

edit: something like this: Extron VGA-A M-M MD12 Video Conferencing Cable 26-490-03
