I bought a 15' extension monitor cable (the old kind) , and there were
problems with the quality of the video. I had to buy a better cable and
everything was fine. It had the 1" diameter by 1.5" long cylinders embedded
in the cable, one on each end. You can actually get the snap on cylinders
separately. Also make sure not directly beside the hydro outside.

To isolate noise and heat from the computer, I want to place the
processor box in the basement and have the monitor and keyboard on the
floor above. I need to penetrate the basement wall (which also happens
to an exterior wall), run straight up about 6 ft, and then penetrate
the wall again to get into the room on the upper floor. The run should
be no more than 10 ft, so I am not worried about the cable length or
signal integrity. However, I am not sure if the cavity behind the wall
extends all the way between the basement level and the upper floor, or
if it is closed off at floor level. I don't want to open up the
drywall and find out that I can't route the cables after all. The DVI
cable would need at least a one inch hole to get through, so drilling
something that big through structural lumber would be out of the
question.
Any thoughts?
