TripleHead cable length

[Mr_P]

I use 2m VGA / DVI / DVI-VGA cables in our racks with no issues to date. Not tried longer...

Have also used a TH2GD with a high-bandwith gefen KVM switch in a 2 server backup scenario - as it was a cheaper solution than using 3 DVI switches or a DVI matrix. We used 2m cables between TH2G-D and KVM device. Distribution to projectors was 10m VGA out of TH2G-D (with adaptors)

Never tried longer then 2m cable between Mac and TH2G-D and not tried specifically with TH2G-A

I used 20' (6m) vga cables once on analog TH2G boxes. I was only running 2400x600 but it worked. I would strongly recommend using anything this long though.

I have however tried 50' (16m) DVI cable with TH2G Digital. These were the special DVI cables made for long distance runs (the thick copper ones). I was able to achieve 3072x768 but not something I would rely on.

Basically, the concept is proven but I wouldn't recommend using more than a 6' (2m) cable.
