As the topic states I need a monitor cable. It needs to be 40-50ft and has to be able to drive 1440p @144hz this means it has to be dual link dvi or display port. I would prefer the DL dvi. If you know of a GOOD QUALITY cable that meets my needs please share your knowledge with me.I'm looking around but seems like a lot of these long cables are trash, which makes sense because they are quite long.
 
Solution
Cable length
from wikipedia
"The maximum length recommended for DVI cables is not included in the specification, since it is dependent on the pixel clock frequency. In general, cable lengths up to 4.5 metres (15 ft) will work for display resolutions up to 1920 × 1200. Longer cables up to 15 metres (49 ft) in length can be used with display resolutions 1280 × 1024 or lower. For greater distances, the use of a DVI booster – a signal repeater which may use an external power supply – is recommended to help mitigate signal degradation."
IDK if one cable will do it. you may need multiple cables and repeaters.

display port cable up to 2 meters can be used for the resolution you need. repeaters are an option here.
