Curious about the length limitations.
DisplayPort and Thunderbolt are starting to make lengthier runs (7+ ft) tricky, which is still within the realm of cable management, particularly with hybrid standing/sitting desks.
- Scene_Cast2 2y agoSame. It's already tough finding a cable with enough length to go from from my floor-standing PC through my cable-managed standing desk and monitor arm.
- jsheard 2y agoThere will probably be long (and expensive) fiber optic cables eventually, but yeah the basic copper cables are likely to have very limited reach.
- xienze 2y agoThey already exist. I recently bought a 33 foot fiber DP1.4+USB3.1/2 (depending on how much video bandwidth you’re using) cable on Amazon for about $130.
- jsheard 2y agoI meant they'll eventually exist for HDMI 2.2, the current ones probably won't support the new higher bandwidth modes.
- exceptione 2y ago(For the people that don't measure the world in limbs: that is ~10 meters.)
- mschuster91 2y agoIf you need long runs, place a pair of SDI media converters in between. Spec is IIRC 100m for coax cable runs, longer if you run fiber.
