Here, our empiric, but effective, experience :

for		| CRT			| from WS to CRT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4/330 CG9	| color 19"		| 45 m
4/330		| monochrome M01 19"	| 30 m
3/260 HM	| monochrome HM01 19"	| 30 m and one correct try at 60 m


In all cases :

. CRT : just 4 coaxial cable, 75 Ohm (RG 59 type), without amplification,
  and simply WWB 9 (monochrome) or BNC (color) connectors.
. keyboard : simply no twisted pair, whith one shield

NB : we have no industrial noise.

For France only : realisation du cable et de la connectique, pour environ
                  3500 FHT (30 m) chez :
