From what I have read, RGB video cables are 75 ohm impedance. However, I
have never seen a recommendation for the RG number (or other qualifier). I
am looking for a good quality cable as we want to go about 15ft with the
signal. (Moving a monitor from one part of our lab to another.)

Any suggestions, recommendations, links to FAQs, etc, etc will be greatly
appreciated!!

Thanks!

RG59. Belden 1426A has 8.5 dB/100ft loss at 1 GHz.

Alternately, RG6. Belden 1694A is 5.9 dB/100 ft at 1 GHz.

If you can't find those, just pick up any old RG59 at Radio Shack or Fry's
and try it.

Good luck.

We use 1505 at work for component serial digital video 270 Mbit rate
and for short runs of 1.5Gbit (HDTV) and plain old analog video. 1505
is 7.6dB/100 ft at 1GHz. We get it for $180/1000 ft and Kings BNCs for
$1.45 each. For the longer runs its 1694. I use 1694 at home for off
air HDTV antenna lead. It was the lowest loss RG-6 size I found.
