SVGA Monitor Cable Extension

[dddave]

I have a Gateway Notebook Solo 2500, Celeron 333 MHz, running Win 98 SE. I had purchased 10 ft and 6 ft cables for SVGA monitor cable extension (take output of monitor and put it on a remote projector). This works fine; the configuration is a Male/Male at the cable ends. I now need to double the distance and am looking at a cable set of 2- 10 ft cables, Female/Male. Will there be any significant signal losses in this DB15 16 ft cable extension? Also, I notice that there are High Density cables and am not sure if the Radio Shack cable set that I originally got is high density and am not sure if this is what I need.
Thanks,
David Minkin

I have seen coax based extension cables with ferrite cores sold at 250' lengths:

At somewhere around 15' I have noticed the picture starting to degrade in several installations. So I tend to keep the stuff under 10 feet if possible. You may be able to get usable signals, just a matter or testing.
The high density designation was originally to define the 15 pin DE connector. Would assume that that is still what is being specified.
