I ended up getting the ones from Micro Center. What I do is I take some nail nippers I bought at Harbor Freight years ago (for my former homebrewing hobby!) and I use those to cut it down, very gently so I just cut through the metal, leaving a very small amount near the threads. If I'm careful it will not mishap the threads, and it will not cut through the actual wire. Once seperated you can pull the wires off of the unused half. You can then mount. It doesn't look pretty on the inside, from the outside it looks great, and honestly I think I might like the protrusion of the s-video jack.
