You can extend the color monitor side of the cable without any electrical  
problems, so long as the video signals are on (approximately) 75 ohm coax.

One way to do this is to use two of the (now obsolete) 13W3 to BNC adapters and  
three identical lengths of BNC (coax) cable, making an extension cable.  (13W3  
is the three coax plus ten pin connector used in color NeXTstations.)  Sorry,  
but I don't know where you can get the adapters.

Do not try to extend the "computer" or "sound box" ends of the Y cable.

Hope this helps.
