Has anyone got a link or made their own S-video cable?

DrewKaree:
I lost my bookmarks in my format, but I didn't have a choice.  It's the one thing I didn't back up ::)

I KNOW I had found a page on how to make an S-video cable from Cat5 shielded, and I'm fairly certain it was from a home theater customization site, because the lengths they were building were ~50'. 

I'm gonna need an S-video connector cable, and would like one somewhere in the 25' range, so I need to find this again.  A PS/2 extender cable works, but not for those lengths, and I haven't found one longer than 15' either.

Has anyone done this or can point me in the right direction?  All efforts on my part have led to me figuring out how to make an S-video to RCA cable, but I can't locate anything like what I'm talking about, and I KNOW it exists
NanoMonkey:
I searched for a while to find 20+ ft. S-Video cables. Two sites that sell them are:
http://www.totalsignal.com 25' for approx. $17 shipped
http://www.monoprice.com 25' for approx. $12 shipped
The cables from totalsignal look to be better quality, but it's hard to tell from just a picture. I have not compared the cables; I ended up putting my project on hold for the time being, so I never ordered a cable from either site.

Hope this helps.
