Is a cable longer than the standard 80cm design available?
KONTEX now offers a custom 3M HDMI cable and a 80cm standard HDMI cable.
We recommend keeping the cable short to maintain optimal signal quality. If the 80cm HDMI cable is sufficient for the behavior experiment, installing the XDAQ with a computer close to the animal, and running Remote Desktop into the control computer could decrease the cable needs.
