I'm not sure about component video cables, but the DVI standard includes a maximum length of five meters - or about 16.5 feet -for digital DVI cables (similar to the limitations included in network cabling standards). People have reported being able to exceed that limit on DVI using a reasonably well-made cable, but results are only guaranteed out to five meters.
