sleepytom Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 define "good quality" I have a few cables from CPC that were certainly well priced - I've not had any issues with them under normal use. otherwise you need to spend a lot on cables from VDC or whoever - www.vdctrading.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzAV Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Always had good success from AandC: http://www.aandcaudio.co.uk We use their cables in hire stock and they tend to last, also never had a dud one (touch wood) and very reasonably priced.

AHYoung Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 We use cables from a trade only supplier {hills}who sell good quality black cables with ferrites at lengths up to 65m. They work well , but make sure its the "expensive" ones not the value range. That said VDC and Kramer make decent cable, but id beware the cPC / maplin etc stuff as some has been decent, some unuseable and in the world where people expact a cable to connect 2 items without introducing artifacts a fiver saved on a cheap cable can be costly. There have been various posts as to how to run Vga long distances, ie what baluns / amplifiers etc to use, when all you need is a decent cable to run vga up to 100m... however no matter how much you spend, some ham fisted fud is stil going to bend the pins then break them trying to plug it in upside down. Hills sell a M-F gender unchanger which sounds like the most pointless waste of a couple of quid untill you realise what its for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bailey116 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks Guys! :) We are a school so we dont have a massive amount of budget, but we use projection in every show and event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivojo Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks Guys! :) We are a school so we dont have a massive amount of budget, but we use projection in every show and event. Extron and Kramer make decent VGA cables without costing a fortune. 30 metres should be fine without boosting in most circumstances but that does depend on what resolution you're using (higher resolution = higher bandwidth) and environmental factors. If time isn't a factor we'd usually suggest buying the cable and only adding an amp if there are problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
