coax. mostly probably not more than 20 or 30 feet,
some might be longer...

FYI:
This test Pattern has circles,
not ovals, if you see ovals, chances are your windows settings are
incorrect for your monitor. |
PLUS:
if you have a
gas
furnace , hot water heater,
fireplace insert, anything that uses combustion
you need a CO detector |
