Length of cable to monitor?

[deepakvrao]

Hi,
A friend wants to run a second monitor along with a wireless KB and mouse at about 9 feet distance from his CPU. Do you get DVI/VGA cables of this length or can you use multiple extensions? Would the image deteriorate?

Thanks for any help.

With a good cable , 9 feet is no problem.
Get a single cable without extensions.

Been using DVI cable with extension (total 8 ft) for over three years now - no problem at all. A single cable would be probably more efficient, but the extender was easy and economical at the time.
