Cable Length Signal Degredation…

There is a varying degree of cable quality with these numbers, but it’s a good starting point if you are wiring your home or something for an office conference room.

Coaxial –100 feet.
Cat6 – 300 feet.
Composite –50 feet.
S-Video –60 feet.
VGA –50 feet. (VGA with a DA is about 100 Feet.)
DVI –30 Feet.
Shielded Audio Cable –150 feet.
HDMI –32 feet.

Like I said earlier though different gauge and different quality of copper will always make a big difference in those lengths, but if you just go to Best Buy or your basic local retail store that sells consumer products most of their degradation lengths are the one’s above.
