VGA and USB over distance

Smoggy · 2007-05-14 18:54:12

Hi, I'm looking to hook a pc that is about 7m away from the screen. I have found a large VGA cable that wil travel this distance, but I also need to hook usb into the monitor. I have read that the max USB length is 5M, but there is such things as repeaters and also usb via CAT5. has anyone heard anything about this ?
