2005FPW: how long is the DVI cable?

Question

I just bought one (haven't received it yet), but I need probably 8 to 10' for my cable. How long is the cable that comes with the monitor, and if it is too short, I assume they sell DVI extension cables?

I purchased an extension cable for my LCD-TV from Dalco Electronics. http://www.dalco.com/products.cfm?category=3724  You need a male to female extension DVI-D cable.   I went to Radio shack and they wanted $ 129.00 for a  12 ft cable.

There's a 10ft for $14.49, shipping $4.99. Check the user opinions for quality insurance. Don't hesitate ordering from newegg, they're one of the best online stores.

If I were at home right now I would have measured the 2005fpw cable for you.

Cool, I was planning on buying an extension cable, but I was hoping I could know how long of one I needed...

if you get a chance, I would appreciate it if you could measure it or give me an estimate...

thanks!

I took some tape measure, pulled the DVI cable straight and it came to about 79inches, or roughly six and a half feet.
