Monitor extension cable
 

Anyone know where I can get one? I've seen them on Dabs for about £15 and they're about 5m long - I don't need anything like that, I just want to double the length of the standard cable I'm using now which is about 2m long.

Have you got a Maplin store anywhere near you? They do them..

Edit: Look here, fourth product from the bottom..

Seen them in Tesco, can't vouch for the quality though ;)

1.8 metre Belkin monitor extension cable from ebuyer for £1.23 inc VAT http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...col=sell_price

Alternatively you could get an ebuyer 2 port KVM Switch with Cables for £14 inc vat and besides using it to extend the monitor lead you can connect a second base unit to your monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Just be careful, some cheap extension cables ghost the image when you go above certain resolutions (some as low as 800x600).
Some KVM switches also cause a drop in image crispness but nowehere near as bad as that mentioned above about cheap cables.

Just bought this KVM switch

It's very good, just press the scroll lock key twice to switch - see there is a use for that key.

I sold a belkin version of this on ebay a month or so back, it was very good but surplus to my needs now :)
