Good Long VGA cables and ethernet?

I'm pretty sure VGA is far more tolerant of distance, so stick with VGA if you can bear the fuzz. The high bandwidth cables for my monitor are limited to only 6ft I think. As for the network cable, get CAT5E or CAT6, not CAT5.

 

what do you mean fuzz? also why not cat 5? is cat 5 not supported by all stuff? for some reason my pc wont work with a cat 5 cable i have but itsl work with dsl modem to router.

 

I'm pretty certain CAT5 is limited to 100Mbit, if you send large amounts of data over the network, it'll be very slow. CAT5E should be compatible with everything in the last decade or so, and offers Gigabit speeds.

As for fuzz, hook up a monitor with DVI and then VGA to the same PC, you'll soon see what I mean. DVI offers a much better image even with the shortest of cables.

 

my pc has always been vga and i even think it looks as good if not better then hdmi even. i just dont want th white streaking i had on a calble i bought form japan once lol

 

I don't know about HDMI - but using a high quality monitor, the Dell Ultrasharp 2407FPW, the difference was night and day, anyone else I know with a decent LCD who has done it notices what a vast improvement DVI is using even a cheap cable.

 

im sure dvi is better its digital isnt it? im just saying my i really see no diff. i just want it to be clear no white streaks

 

DVI is better because it's digital and free from signal noise etc. but it has a shorter maximum length.
