I hate to disagree with Mike but we routinely install RGBHV (delivering a VGA signal) cable runs of several hundred feet, in both commercial and residential installations.

VGA can be done on CAT5E as well, but in some instances the cost overtakes installing VGA cabling.

We would suggest installing 1 x RGBHV, 1 x RG6 and 1 16/4 shielded cable to each location should cover all the basis with the exception of audio. I assume the audio will be distributed through a separate distribution network?

If you are planning on what we call a Hidef digital environment (sales guy talk!) this cable complement will do the trick.

Cheers, Gabe
