"Using copper cable it would appear that the limits are approximately 1600x1200@60Hz to one meter and 1024x768@60Hz to 9 meters with appropriate signal strength from the graphics adapter. "

Taken from here:

Just google, that's the first result that came up for me.

With.

I don't really know how much the ferrites help, but at 25' you'll need every little bit of help you can get.
