Do not worry, it is not about speaker cables! LOL

Okay, I am in the process of permanently installing a newly bought front projector. Still wondering, for various reasons, whether I should ceiling-mount or low-mount the projector. Anyway, since I have to run the video cables from the electronics shelves (which is built in the front wall of the room) to the projector (which will be placed close to the back wall), the cable length will be rather significant. According to the current plan, if I ceiling-mount, the cable length will be approximately 30 feet; if I low-mount, up to 70 feet of cable run will be necessary.

I need to run both component video and S-video cables.

So, my questions for any of you who have a similar experience are: (1) Should I altogether avoid running a video cable for as long as 70 feet? Cutting back from 70 feet to 30 feet will have a significant impact in picture quality? (2) At any rate, for the 30 or 70 feet of cable run, what cable brand/vendor would you recommend?

The only brand I wish to avoid is... K$mber K$ble! LOL

I am going to cross-post this in the AVS forum, but I wanted to first try you guys!


Thanks!
