Will shortening the VGA extender help with image defects?

Hello. In order not to kill the monitor connector, I connect it through a meter extension cable. I just use it for both PC and Set-Top Box. But here's the problem - after adding this meter extension cable to the VGA cable, the image became a little worse - it blurred slightly and at a distance of 5-10 mm some images had barely distinguishable pale "ghosts".
I'm thinking of shortening the extension cord - cut 80 cm between the ferrite rings and solder it in the middle. Do you think it will help? (too lazy to just blindly solder over 15 small wires)

You can buy a monitor switch or KVM, then you do not have to twitch the cords and the quality will not suffer. Now they are not particularly in demand, but I think you can find them on Avito.

The extension cord is too "Chinese", use a normal cable - no extra connections.

in fact, a completely standard problem for vga cables and various VGA adapters.
in bad cables, they saved on shielding or did not connect the shielding to the connector body
at all, as a result, the wires interfere with each other.
in my opinion, the most reasonable thing is to buy a simple signal switch like this D-Link KVM-221
