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