Hello,


New to the Home theater scene and am getting ready to purchase my first projector. One thing I am going to need is a long (~25') DVI-D cable to run from my PC to where the projector will be located. The typical longest cable I've found is 15'. I know I saw one site that had the 10 meter cable, but I can't find it again.


Anyone have any suggestions on where to look?


Thanks, Tim

I am currently using DVI-D at 8m using a dual link cable and an extension cable.

I am using these two cables:

I have them connected to a Sharp M20X from my HTPC. Its been working well for the past several months.


Hope this helps...

Digital Connection sells a good 10 meter cable

I am using the DisplayMagic from Better Cables at 1024x768 with my Optoma H56 projector and it's pixel perfect.

I think they guarantee that it works so you can send it back if it's no good.

Is there such a thing as an optical DVI cable?

Yes, there is such thing call optical DVI cable, and guess what, for a 33' (10m), it will cost you $490!!!! Optical DVI cable can run up to 330 feets I think. I only see 3 websites selling it, let me know if you want the URL. They have orange cable color instead of the black or almond color like regular copper based DVI cable.
