Looking for pro-audio gear

I know there are folks here that will know exactly where to get this stuff. I'm looking for a place to buy stuff to install a projector (already purchased) in a large building. Basically, where can I find video cables that are 100' or so? I found nice mounts, but haven't been able to find the video cable yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Evan. I'll check that out. I wanted to post what connections the projo has in case it makes a difference. VGA
RS232
HDMI
RJ45
Like I said, this is going to be 75-100 feet so cable cost and signal quality is a consideration. The projector is a Dell 1610 HD.

You can get wall plates for HDMI that uses two CAT5/6 cables to run over longer distances. How far those distances are, I don't know but here is a link http://www.firefold.com/hdmi-extender-balun-wall-plate?gclid=CjkKEQjw4_ubBRCArMWr6avk_J8BEiQAIj43tSLecYWVFjnxvTZQzC0gTPRr-d388u-b0VZ03H2zNcDw_wcB

I've never used anything like this before so I'm not aware of their limitations, but some are addressed in the link above.

^ What he said. Parts Express is great.

Blue jean will have everything that you could ever need. They have made me some pretty bitch HDMI cables in some very non standard lengths.

I used a 50' HDMI cable from Monoprice that had a built-in amp and it works great. They have a 100' version for $70.

They also sell the HDMI to Cat6 converters:

This one is good for up to 196 feet.

I"m not really familiar with the CAT 5 and 6 stuff. Is there a reason to run that as opposed to VGA or HDMI? If I do one of the feline cables (see what I did there) I'll have to get adapters. Is there a reason to add that expense and additional connections?

Thanks.

Amazon.com?

Or Sweetwater. I am not sure that video cables count as pro audio gear I tease

Haha. You're right. I did pro audio setups for years. So, when I type "pro", "audio" follows due to muscle memory I think.

Pretty sure you'll want/need some sort of repeater or two for that long of a run.

aye.. a repeater or a booster. Preferably one that can also isolate and clean up the signal. That long a run will not only degrade what you are putting through it, but will allow it to pick up stray electrical signals along the way.

I know if I was going to run that long with a DMX cable.. I would have an opto-isolater somewhere in there

The cat 5/6 converters both boost the signal and let you use cheap commodity cabling of arbitrary lengths (including cabling that sometimes is already in place) to run the video signal. It's also a lot easier to fish bulk (connectorless) cat6 cable through walls and ceilings and conduit than it is to fish an HDMI cable that's already got connectors on the end. That may not be a concern for your installation, I don't know.

Monoprice has been well-loved among tech geeks for a while for providing all kinds of cheap gear that's still good quality. I bought a HDMI Cable from Monoprice for my 22" HD XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro ( https://www.xp-pen.com/product/63.html ) Pen Display and for the money it is excellent. I am very happy with the purchase.

Another vote for monoprice, and my experience is that 50' is the absolute end of the reliable hdmi signal without boosting. 

If you have an hdmi input on the projector you might consider a little chromecast or whatever the apple version is dongle to just plug into the projector and wirelessly connect to your source. If it has multiple hdmi inputs I would definitely use at least one for a wireless. 

I have a bit if moniprice gear myself in my sustem. Good stuff, gooder price.
