can you use a standard VGA cable for the aux jack?

[tomb18]

I want to plug it in, cut the cable, and use some of the wire for rig control. Are there any gotcha's,like wires connected together etc?
Thanks, Tom

Elecraft should sell a cable/connector pigtail made up already.  That
would help people find the correct part instead of trying to cut off a
vga cable.

That would be the KPAK3AUX cable on our order form. If you want, you can
cut off one end to access the wires.
