    ok i sort of know what im doing but just need some pointers here. im setting up a pc to two plasmas as a favour for a friend. the idea is to display the same image on both. the computer is a fair distance away so i have looked at these vga-cat5 extenders here. now what i need to know is,

    a) its says these extender need to use cat5 cable. the cable i have been looking at was this. it is cat5e, will that work? the exact requirement is Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable. is the cable i linked to suitable??

    b) is there any box or something other than a dual video card that i can output the image to these boxes (and eventually to the plasmas) while having a separate image on the pc monitor i.e. dual display. just because if i use it as a clone display and somebody changes something on the pc it will show up on the screens.

    cheers
    moe
