I saw (and I shit you not) a 100' 13W3 to BNC cable for a SGI system once.
It was when I was working for texas.net.  We ran it all the way from the back
of the NOC to out the front door (this is through some twisty hallways, etc,
too..)

I have no clue why someone would want a 100 foot monitor cable, unless your
system is next to a nuclear reactor or something...
