That you don't accept it. There are other solutions to go beyond the normal 12 or so foot limit so try a cheap solution first. Your post didn't reveal if the connect was VGA, DVI, HDMI or other so it's doubly hard to write more. Let's stick to 12 feet.

I have a Dell Dimension 8400 and would like to know how long I can extend my monitor cable. I would like to extend my monitor about 6 to 8 feet. Are there extender cables I can buy,
Thanks
