We use munster cable for long DVI's and HDMI's. We use IXOS and Ultralink for everything else.

MIT makes DVI cables 25 and 50' (or longer if you need).

Extron makes cables that are guaranteed good out to 75'. I have used both the 50' and 75' between the Pioneer Elite media boxes and plasmas with great success. The Runco Live-Links work great also.

I have used tributaries, liberty wire and cable, and L-com with good results.

Check out Transparent Cable's products, along with Straight Wire and Runco's LiveLink products.
These are excellent products that have worked well for long cable runs.

We have a 15 meter HDMI thats works great.
Showed it at CES coiled between a Pioneedr DV59A and the Pioneer 5040 plasma.
Synced up at 1080i.
It is also CL rated for inwall.
At EHEXPO we will intro a 100' HDMI system with a End of Line Restorer.
Early tests show 1080P performance.
You will be able to use it with an HDMI/DVI adaptor.

15 meters is too long, way too long. I need at the most is 8 meters (around 25 feet). How must is it from your store, BrentM?

You don't need some overpriced cable like Monster to make this work. A computer cable supplier can give you a cable at a fraction of the price without any discernable difference. You could try an internet search. I use computer DVI's all the time and they work just fine. Monster can keep their over-priced piece of crap.

rga2k4: I am the manufactuer. We make a 10 meter that you can get at [Link: digitalconnection.com]for $99.00 Copper has been increased up so that the cable will sync @ 1080P. This cable works great and has been getting good reviews over at www.avsforum.comOf course there is a money back guarnty with all of our products

Ive had "good" DVI cables go bad at longer runs. One company actually told me that he would bet his life that after his cable didn't work tha tno one elses would either. Well he was wrong, and from now on I will use Audioquest. I'm sure that you will find cheaper for this situation or that one, but I know I can trust them for whatever situation I need them for.

vts,
Audioquest are good or great cables in some respects. I use them as my audio cables, optical and coax cables. They are good. Their dvi cable for the length that I need and price is too much for me to fork out. I am looking for a great dvi cable without the marketing crap that goes with it. After all, performance counts not the looks. Let us know if you come across any more cables that are suited for HD that are great performers.
