- I would like to move my SPARC2 into a room about 80 feet away from my current
- office. I have seen cables advertised which are 100 feet long, for that
- purpose.
-
- Does anyone have any practical experience with such an arrangement? Does
- that work? Please note that this question applies to the keyboard as well
- as the monitor cables.
-
- Any problems with running the monitor off a separate power line?
-
- I would appreciate any help.
-
- Thank you.
