Default Ferrite core : can I use this kind ?

Well,my computer to computer monitor fifteen feet long VGA has a big
ferrite core on each end of the cable.I paid sixty dollars plus ten
dollars shipping & handling for my cable,I bought it from
www.si87.com in Bozeman,Montana about three years ago.The two ferrite
cores on the cable help to reduce/prevent ghosting images on my 22 inch
screen CRT Multisync computer monitor.Sure,I could have connected two
cheap cables together,but I wont go any cheapo route as regards my
computer equipment.My computer monitor sits on my coffee table and my
computer is about fourteen feet away on an end table by doggys
couch.Three big eyes (two tv sets and my computer monitor) staring back
at me.I dont know if a VGA computer cable will work for hooking up to a
radio though,I guess it's worth a try if it doesn't blow up the radio.I
wont be the one to try it first.
