Where do i get a 10ft/3m tft qxga cable?

#1 Post by higgs » Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:34 am

I got me a 15" qxga display for a T42 which works fine.

Since i want to use this display as a pdf reading panel
at home i need a tft cable with at least 10ft/3m either
directly connected to my T42 or also as part of a lcd-kit
with a converter connected to a pc.

Is this directly available somewhere?

Welcome to the forums.

Until now I'd not heard of QXGA so for anyone else it's: "(Quad XGA) A standard screen resolution of 2048x1536 or 2048x1600 pixels."

--EDITED--

I assume you mean a VGA male-male cable and not a flat LCD cable which fits directly to the an LCD panel.

I can only find US company QVS who actually say that they make such cable, and this page states that they are available in various lengths up to 25ft long in the CC388B male-male premium VGA Cable series.
10ft long part number is CC388B-10.

I cannot find anywhere in UK which sells it but there may be companies in Europe.

I'm also thinking that for only 10ft long a lesser spec'd VGA cable should be OK and will be more easily available.

qxga is a standard term for a high resolution screen

I don't think there's a solution with a vga cable that is even
remotely easy to implement except for the lcd-kits, which can
feed a laptop monitor from a pc.

So it has to be the lcd-kit for a qxga screen or a 10ft+ lcd cable.

Finding a standard-size QXGA LCD cable is difficult enough nowadays. I can't possibly imagine that anyone actually makes a 10ft version...

Good luck, you're going to need it..

Thanks, i'm sure i can get it custom made somewhere or even
wire it myself. Maybe it's best if i just send the standard lcd cable
to someone who can do this.
