HDMI 23' (7 m)
1
Use only certified HDMI cables that have been
tested to support the performance standard you
require.
DisplayPort 23' (7 m) Use DisplayPort 1.2 compliant or better cables.
VGA [N/A] Use VGA cables with all pins in their connectors fully
populated and wired.
Stereo 3.5 mm 20' (6 m) [N/A]
USB 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 page9.
Using cables that exceed these maximum lengths may produce unexpected results, degraded
picture quality or degraded USB connectivity.
