Also I agree with what Phil said about the lenghts and connections. My
cable
is only 5 Meters long and a 0.5 Meter one from the plate to Projector. 
Also
I was told that the max length was 5 Meters but mine is fine. But I
wouldn't
say you could get any longer.

Hi Darren,

I went everywhere looking for something like what you want and I was told
that nothing like it was available.  So I got a female to male cable and
ran
it from my PC onto a plate I made which is on the ceiling beside my
projector.  I unscrewed the two nuts that are used to connect the cables
together.  Then I put the plate (which I made) and screwed the nuts back
on.
Now I have a small DVI cable running from the plate into my projector. Nice
and neat!

I was going to do the same on the other end but no need as the PC is in
Node
0 and won't be seen but if you wanted to just get a female to female DVI
and
do the same at both ends.

Regards

Brian

Hi All,

I need to run my 10m M1-DA - DVI cable from my MCE box to my projector. The
route will go from one end of my living room near the floor, up and across
to where the projector will be hung on the ceiling. The problem is that as
I'm trying to keep all my cables as neat as possible I really wanted to be
able to plug my MCE box into a DVI socket mounted on a face plate in the
wall using a short DVI - DVI cable. What I'm looking for and can't seem to
find is a chassis mounting DVI socket which has female connections both
sides and can be mounted onto a standard UK face plate. The other problem
associated with this is that the DVI plug on my cable is moudled and approx
2 inches long so any chassis socket would need to be right- angled.

Can anyone advise? I really don't want to have to have a cable poking
though
the wall or floor.

TIA
Darren
