Use only certified premium high-speed HDMI cables that
have been tested to support the performance standard
you require.
VGA 23' (7 m) Use VGA cables with all pins in their connectors fully
populated and wired.
Stereo 3.5 mm 20' (6 m) [N/A]
USB 2.0 16' (5 m) Use a USB extender if the distance between the
computer and the display is greater than 16' (5 m). For
more information, see USB extenders on page20.
USB2.0 cables support Hi-Speed (480Mbps), whether
connected to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 receptacle. For
