Does anyone know the length you can run a VGA vidio cable without having any
problems. Also, is there any kind of amp that would increase the length.
I really need to set up a system with two monitors in different rooms, and wouldappreciate any info on this matter.
Thanks, BOB Tortajadaberggren@eecs.cs.pdx.edu (Eric Berggren) (04/25/91)

Hmmm, on straight cable, not very far. You will definately need shielded. I have my EGA on about 10 feet, and characters on the far right side gives me italics. Unless you use some sort of amplifier (if one even exists), the next room will probably be quite far unless you do some drilling. Now, of course, this is from my experiences with an EGA, it might be completely different for VGA (and the particular controller used). Try ribbon cable too!
