waste of even a little money.......2006-01-23

This product produces horrible ghosting - why they would make it, I do not know. A total waste of money, unconscionable.

Yup - bad ghosting with this low-quality cable.......2005-01-04

Hey - my first review! Go me. Anyway, I bought this cable for about $10 at Staples today, after blowing off one at Radio Shack for $25. This was to extend the reach of a new 19" Dell LCD (analog). I get horrible ghosting and some twitchy text. I tested the monitor (with a normal cable) on my laptop, and it looks great - I tested it again on the laptop with this extension cable in between, and the ghosting came back. I guess you get what you pay for - the Radio Shack one (I forget the brand, but it wasn't the house brand - maybe 3M?) was super thick. I think I'll just order a high-quality 10' male-male cable with the shielding the other poster referred to. Sorry Belkin, this one's a dud.

Ghosting was unbearable on my 17" monitor when plugged into this extension. Did a little research and found the product information for this F2N025-06 cable on the Belkin Website. The last bullet item states: "NOTE: Will only work on monitors smaller than 17 inches."

Sure wish I had seen this information on the Belkin site before I wasted my time and money.

Very Poor Quality - Ghosting Images.......2002-04-15

This review is for the Belkin F2N025 6 Ft PC Monitor Extension cable. I start off saying this because if you read many of the other reviews listed here...you will see that the reviewers are talking about other types of extension cables, like for their printer or keyboard. Those cables are very different, and serve a much less demanding purpose.

Video cables are very sensitive to RFI interference. Just look at the cable that came with your monitor; it's very thick (at least twice as thick as this Belkin model)) and it has one or two ferrite clamps (those round large objects near the end of the cable.

This monitor extension cable is not a good one. It causes ghosting of images on the monitor and fuzzy text. I imagine this is because the cable is very thin and not shielded. Also the cable may be in need of an additional ferrite core to go around one end of it. That is the way most cables are assembled which come directly with new monitors. This ferrite core serves to block out RFI interference just as shielding on a cable does. They both work in different ways and are synergistic in their effect on interference.

I tried this cable on three different monitors in different locations and each time the text was ghosting and fuzzy. BTW, when I hooked those monitors directly to the same video cards (without the extension cable) the images and text were again clear and sharp. This cable just isn't very well designed.
