Depends on the quality of the cable itself. Thicker is better, preferably shielded like those coaxial cables. Is this cable carrying video signals? You have to try out and see, though I would expect some loss of picture quality (reduction of sharp details, less brighter image, a bit of "snow", etc)... hmm.gif

if your byond is activated for HD service, can use HDMI splitter over cat5e/cat6 networking cable

if no HD service then have to use analog signal, use RG-6 coaxial cable (like astro sattelite dish cable) for long haul connection, may need audio+video distribution amplifier (used in hotel rooms) if got signal degradation problem

i have read some infos over the internet that suggest to use coax cable
becoz they have low resistance with good insulation...i may try out that..

yes, this cable carry video and audio signal as RCA white, red and yellow type..
