August 12, 20178 yr Hi I have bought, see: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/digital_... I wondering if there is a limit of the length of the cables between the monitors and the Matrox unit and between the unit and the computer?

August 12, 20178 yr Fredrik, I do not believe the length of cable would make any difference what so ever but I cannot imagine why you would want to pay extra for a long cable though. I always keep cables as short as possible. I also bought and used temporarily, the th2go digital version and had no problems with it. Regards Tony Tony Chilcott. My System. Motherboard.

August 13, 20178 yr Author Hi The reason for a long Displayport cable is that I want the unit close to the monitorns. There is 1 meter between the computer and the monitors! Let see what the best solution would be?

August 13, 20178 yr Fredrik, As far as I know 1 metre is not going to make 1 iota of difference. With my installation (6 monitors) I used a cable 2.00metres long with no problems.

A quick Google gives variously 3m and 5m as the maximum reliable length for a DP cable. I discovered there's a difference between active and passive DP when I was playing with an ATI card, so depending on how long you want to go maybe you'll be safer with an active cable.
