I know the instructions for the KPA-500 say not to use a standard SVGA cable. The special KPAK3AUX cable is the way to go. But that cable is too short for the arrangement I had for my station so I thought I could use a standard SVGA expansion cable (female connector on one end, male on the other).
What I didn't fully digest is that the wiring is incompatible! I thought the difference was merely the removal of a few pins from a standard SVGA cable. Nope, that doesn't work! So if your station requires a longer cable than the KPAK3AUX you can either purchase two cables and put them in series or you can make up your own. Don't use a standard SVGA cable at all. In my case, I just rearranged the equipment.
